Wacoal makes wonderful products, but this bra didn't quite fit my body type. While the cup and band fit true to size, not small like other models, the sides of the bra are cut high in the underarm area. I am exchanging for the Wacoal Basic Beauty Full Figure Underwire Bra.
I finally got professionally fitted at a Nordstrom. We tried on lots of styles and different sizes until this was the one. For something that I wear every single day and makes such a difference in appearance overall...spend the $65. I put it in a mesh bag and wash in the regular cycle with cold water and hang dry. It is recommended to buy each 6 months which I am starting to do - making the investment for a good product, great look, and comfort. Why did I wait until 48 years old to do this...better late than never! I bought my first one at the store, but now buy on line. I will stick with the Awareness forever.
I love this bra the look, feel, and longevity are great. It is the bra I have bought for several years. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the last two times I have purshased one out of three seemed to be a bit smaller around and not as comfortable.
