I have had this bra for about 6 months and loved it at first. it was a bit uncomfortable when it was new but after a few washes it softened up. It had great coverage and support as well. recently the thin sheer material at the top of the bra ripped at the seem on one cup and is about to rip on the other side. I am really sad because it's so hard to find a pretty sexy bra in a 40G. For [$] I had hoped it would last a bit longer.

It is hard to find a bra in my size (38H) and I was excited to find this Wacoal. It is much prettier than most full-figure bras. Unfortunately, the quality is very poor. I've only had this bra 1 1/2 months and the thin material has torn and I can no longer wear the bra. Very disappointing for the price paid for this bra.

Comments about Wacoal "Retro Chic" Full-Busted Underwire Bra:
I use it everyday. It is an excellent bra with great support good lift(it makes me look several years younger than 68. The one big thing is that there is little coverage around the nipple area. This is particularly noticeable if worn with a tee. It is somewhat expensive.

Comments about Wacoal "Retro Chic" Full-Busted Underwire Bra:
I suffer from severe acid reflux and heartburn. Until I found this bra, I was almost to the point that I couldn't wear any bra. It was comfortable, and pretty. I feel sexy when I wear it.

Comments about Wacoal "Retro Chic" Full-Busted Underwire Bra:
Santa Fe has almost no choices when shopping for bras so I have had to order over the internet. I have spent a small fortune for beautiful bras but always felt I would have done a lot better if I had been able to go into a store and try them on. So after many $88 bras I tried on this Wacoal one and for the first time in years I don't have that matronly look that I knew was totally unnecessary since I do not have a matronly shape. I am delighted to have a bra that actually fits properly and makes my bustline look youthful again.

Comments about Wacoal "Retro Chic" Full-Busted Underwire Bra:
Woman working at the counter saw my with a bunch of bras, I have full size and have issues with what feels comfortable. She suggested this bra. The instant I tried it on, I knew it was a winner. Any time the subject comes up, I tell friends and family about this bra. I love it!

Comments about Wacoal "Retro Chic" Full-Busted Underwire Bra:
My only complaint is that this bra seems to be falling apart where the lace meets the top of the bra. When I hand wash in gentle soap I'm afraid its going to be the last time. With the cost of this bra it should last at least 1 year with gentle care. But because its so hard to find such a pretty bra that really fits well, I will just keep buying when I need - also never goes on sale!

Comments about Wacoal "Retro Chic" Full-Busted Underwire Bra:
After losing a lot of weight, my bras from a high end specialty store didn't fit any longer. I went to the Mall Dillards and was fitted for a bra and this bra was the first I tried on. It felt amazing enough that I purchased two.
