Wacoal Awareness Full Figure Underwire Bra

The most comfortable...

I love this bra... If you are like me and think all bras are uncomfortable... Try this one. I love the fit. I don't buy anything else.

MY WACOAL ANIMAL PRINT BRA

I WAS ORIGINALLY FITTED FOR MY FIRST WACOAL BRA IN NORDSTROM AT THE GARDEN STATE MALL . TO MY SURPRISE I WAS WEARING THE WRONG SIZE ALL ALONG. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT AS USUAL . I PURCHASED THIS BRA IN ALL COLORS IN MY SIZE AND WHEN I SAW THE ANIMAL PRINT I SAID WHY NOT GO WILD SO I PURCHASED THEM. NORDSTROM IS MY FAVORITE STORE AND I WISH WE HAD ONE IN ORANGE COUNTY, NY.

Perfect!

This bra is perfect. Straps don't cut in, extremely comfortable in every way. Couldn't ask for more. Please Nordstrom continue carrying this bra!

Finally . . . One that fits!

I have ordered, and tried-on, and worn several different sizes and colors of the Wacoal "Awareness" bra, and I think that I have finally found the size that fits perfectly -- a 38-G (or 4-D). I have normally been wearing a 38-DDD, but have had a problem with this style with some "spill-over" at the top of the cup. Nevertheless, I kept a 38-DDD in the Awareness bra to "wear around the house" b/c...

I have ordered, and tried-on, and worn several different sizes and colors of the Wacoal "Awareness" bra, and I think that I have finally found the size that fits perfectly -- a 38-G (or 4-D). I have normally been wearing a 38-DDD, but have had a problem with this style with some "spill-over" at the top of the cup. Nevertheless, I kept a 38-DDD in the Awareness bra to "wear around the house" b/c this bra is so comfortable. What makes it so comfortable is the fact that it has a lot of stretch in it -- as well as structure and support. I think there is more "stretch" in this bra than in any other bra I have worn in recent years (Wacoal's and Chantelle's, primarily). BUT . . . in addition to stretch, this bra also has sufficient "structure" to provide good support for full-figured women. This bra has a wider, 4-hook back strap which provides plenty of support "up-front". It also has wider shoulder straps -- which are padded in the front and stretchy and adjustable in the back -- which add to the comfort and support provided by this bra. In addition, the underwires are padded, which also adds to the comfort. [Frankly, EVERY underwire bra for cup-size "D" and above should have padded under-wires. It just makes sense, in terms of comfort.] Finally, the lining in the cup of this bra is soft and silky, with just the right amount of stretch. Sometimes I have experienced some skin irritation and itchy-ness with stretch lace cups; but in this bra, the stretch lace is on the outside of the cup, while the inside of the cup has a smooth and silky, soft lining. There is adequate stretch in the cups to provide a good fit -- with no spill-over if you find the right size! I like the animal print and wear it as I would a black bra, under darker clothes. Most of the shirts I wear are knit and/or tee-shirt-like and this bra provides a smooth -- and adequately lifted -- silhouette. I bought another Wacoal bra recently with a lace and satin 3 piece cup and it also fit quite well; but it was a 38-G, rather than a 40-G. I wish Wacoal could do something to make the sizing more predictable and reliable, among the different styles. Nevertheless, I am happy to have found two Wacoal bra styles which fit quite well. All three of the bras I bought are comfortable with good support -- and all were on sale, too! And, thank you Nordstrom for providing free shipping on deliveries and returns. I will no longer buy bras on any other web-site. No one else can match your excellent service and convenience!

The perfect bra

What can I say about this bra, except that for me it was perfect! I am a 56 year old grandma of eight and one day I walked into Nordstroms to buy a new bra and I guess I must have been feeling adventurous. I took four bras into the dressing room thinking...I am never going to buy that bra...it is just too sexy for me, but who knew! It was the most comfortable of all of the bras that I tried on...

It was the most comfortable of all of the bras that I tried on that day! It gave me the support I needed and the pattern on it made me feel ...oh yeah! I got it home and my daughter saw it and said...oh mom, you don't really want that bra, you need to give it to me. I said no way girlfriend. Seriously, the more I wore it, the more it became my go to bra. It is just so comfortable. Oh, and by the way, the one I just bought was just like the first one I bought. I got this one for my daughter because it is really a wonderfully comfortable, feel good, pretty bra.
