I love that these bras do not have padded lining. When you are larger busted, the last thing needed is padding to make you look larger. This particular bra has boning on the sides which keep my breast forward instead of bulging under my arms. As far as comfort goes, when I have a good fitting bra I'm comfortable and this one is perfect. I have three HSIA bras, and am ordering more.This bra is damn adorable, which makes its crappiness harder to bear. But. I’m wearing it for the first time rn, and I can tell that this thing is not going to last. I’m a 34 DDD, which is the size I got. I normally fasten bras on the biggest or middle hooks, but I had to go with the smallest on this bra. And in the 5 or so hrs I’ve been wearing it, it’s stretched out to the point I’d tighten it another notch, except I’m already on the smallest one. The straps won’t stay tightened, and I’ve had to cinch them up at least twice so far. And I washed the bra before I put it on, and the lacy bits started to fray and pull already. Why, HSIA, WHY??? Do you know how sick my buxom self is of buying really boring beige grandma bras, just so my boobs don’t end up around my midsection?? Back to Wacoal I go, I guessIt fits beautifully, true to size, and it's comfortable - I'll get more colors.The bra is appealing. It is more comfortable than most underwire bras. True to size.First do try to measure yourself. Although I found this wasn't foolproof given I measured myself about 5 times and got 5 different answers -sigh. However the return policy is super friendly, so try several different sizes. In the end I think the sizing is as expected or just slightly smaller than expected. I ended up w/ the size I thought I was. I love the 4 different HSIA bra styles I've kept. I was looking for bras that were not thickly padded but provided coverage. These are on target. I can't speak to the longevity of the bras yet. But my initial thoughts are they are well made. They are also very attractive and supportive, at least for my 38C needs. I'm quite pleased with my purchases.I'm 5'5" and the straps on this bra are rather short and fairly wide. I have no extra stack to adjust them. Couldn't imagine this on a tall person. The metal part of the strap is large and uncomfortable as it sits on my shoulder blades. Nice quality otherwise and the underwire is comfortable.full firgured women should invest in this bra an it will help an also it is very fun I would recommned adding colors other than blackGreat fit for my size. I’m hard to fit. Comfortable too.
