Even if you think you don't need/want a minimizer bra, this gives a great flattering shape - try it and see! (& NO underwire!!)

I've never considered myself as needing a minimizer bra - I've always been a bit chesty but nothing that seemed to need an extra heavy-duty containment field. However, I was trying on a bunch of bra's at Macy's and grabbed this not realizing it was a "minimizer" and really liked the fit (Wacoal is always a great fit for chesty gals, most of the Euro bras are) and the nice, height appropriate and balanced look of "the gals" with this under a shirt. So, I bought this first at Macy's and was happy to find it here on Amazon as well.I think that I expected a minimizer bra to smash everything into a flat and unflattering look the way sports bras do (I really, really hate those - ugly and uncomfortable!). I don't feel that it's caused a significant look of a smaller bosom, just a better placed (up and down and side to side both) and nicely balanced bosom. It's hard to explain but it's aesthetically pleasing, and very comfortable. I highly recommend you give it a go. It was true to size for me.
Ladies, THIS is the wireless bra we've been looking for
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019
I've tried about 15 wireless bras looking for one that doesn't dig into my ribs like my wired bras do, AND supports my 34DD breasts. Was really hoping one of the under $15 wireless bras would do the trick, and although I found some that are very comfortable and have decent coverage, none gave me the lift of a wired bra like this Wacoal one does. it 's constructed so that it has the uplift that wires give, but they somehow manage to do it with fabric.BTW, I also ordered it in a 34DDD, and noticed that with DDD the straps are wider and the back has 3 hooks instead of 2. That size fit OK but had a little gap at the top of the cup section.If you are a "woman of a certain age" who is now valuing comfort over the perky breasts that an underwire provides give this bra a try.
is very comfortable..

Got fitted for this bra in a department store with the expert from Wacoal measuring me for the correct size...apparently I was wearing the wrong size for years. This one fits well, is very comfortable...I don't feel like the first I do when I come home is to rip my bra off immediately like I used to do with my other bras. It gives me support and a nice shape under T shirts, etc.
Very stretchy!

I am a 34C and found this bra to be too stretchy. I used the tightest hooks and adjusted the straps to more than 1/2 way up to my shoulder. It was okay for me, but I returned it due to the fact that it had no more room to tighten if it stretched from wearing. I doubt if this would be supportive for someone with a larger size. It is comfortable and well made, but I returned it.
Pricey, but best no-underwire I've found

I can't wear underwire bras as the wires chaff against my inner arms when I walk and it drives me nuts. I've tried SO many wire-free bras and spent a ton! I now have 2 of these and basically I'm not using my others because this one is so much more comfortable. I'll be purchasing a 3rd.
I like the style of these bras

I have purchased several Wacoal Bra which are very expensive. I like the style of these bras, very pretty and feminine, but after wearing it 3 times the lace on the sides has torn. I would not buy them again and to be perfectly honest, I have other Wacoal Bras and they do not last very long. Very overpriced and not very sturdy.
Stretchy bouncy straps

It took WEEKS to receive so be aware..... The straps are really stretchy which I am not a fan of as it causes bounce which I don't find attractive and the band was really small. I ordered a 36DDD and am wearing on the last hook. I am really a 34" band so I think someone made a mistake with the band.. Also the straps - on me appear to be a little to close in BUT my other bras WACOAL do not make me want to adjust the straps outward. I do like the soft cup but would not order this again
For larger chested ladies, this bra does not provide ...

For larger chested ladies, this bra does not provide sufficient support to go out in public but itâs sufficient for walking around the house.

This is the best wire free bra I have ever purchased! The fact that it's also a minimizer is an extra bonus! I am a 36DD and the bra fit perfectly right out of the package. It is so comfortable and light that I forget I'm wearing it. No pinching, bulging, or uni-boob! The only con is that the band underneath will roll. Obviously you won't get the lift and separation of an underwire, but I'm thrilled to say that this is the first wireless bra that holds the girls in place so they don't both migrate to the middle!
