im a standard 34D and i hate this bra. FOR ME EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH IT! the sizing is off; cups to big, band to small. very thich underwire that hurts from armpits to ribcage. itchy, scratchy fabric that irritates sensitive skin so a bra extender wouldnt even be an option for that tight band. its a 3 hook closure n way too much bra.

I did not like this bra. The material was rough, had a weird shiny fabric, and did not mold to my skin.  My boobs looked like they belonged in an 80s Madonna music video.  I would recommend buying by US size if you are from the US not the European suggested size. It said if US size H to purchase the FF in EU.  I do not feel like that was accurate for the cups at all.  The band was true to size and had extra stretch in it which is nice.  The clasps are hard to undo and also click back into place.  I felt like I bought two different bras in one. The core of the bra was ok but the openings did not fit with the flaps. I felt like they were two different sizes. I missed my return window so now I am going to try and get rid of it on my own.

The straps on this bra are way too short so that the sides ride up into your sensitive armpits chafing them.  I really dislike this bra intensely, sorry I bought it.  The cups are huge even though I bought the size according to size chart and it is too tight in the band....totally off!

I have bras with better support that are worlds more comfortable than this. I ordered my size and I found this bra to be really tight in back and on the straps. It's hard to put on and take off on top of being uncomfortable and the top of the bra keeps poking out of my blouse. Maybe I just haven't found the right outfit to wear with this bra, but so far I'm really regretting I bought it. I just don't want to wear this bra again. Wasn't what I was anticipating:(

I was so excited for this bra and when I got the 38D  the wire part fit great and actually supported ALL of my boob instead of cutting in too close on the sides.  The cups were just a TAD too big, and I could have gotten it tailored I suppose but I returned them for a 38C hoping that, being a 38, the underwire would still be wide enough too include all my bits but have correct cup size....cup size was alright, but the underwire was too narrow AND the underwire that came up between the boobs was too wide!  It was like pulling my boobs apart from the center!  No thanks!  Plus, it pushed really hard into my sternum!  The material was super scratchy and uncomfortable, I just wished this worked out b/c from the picture it looks so pretty but the material is awful.

This is the most uncomfortable sports bra I have ever worn.  The fit is just weird. It felt small, but somehow still big because it felt like there was no real support.  The material is very itchy and irritating. There is no padding and no underwires of any kind, it is basically an itchy mesh shell.  Don't waste your money buying this.

It looks great, but is horribly uncomfortable.  Seam under left arm is poorly sewn and the underwires are totally painful.  These are very cheaply manufactured, though they look good.  With a little bit more finesse, they would be awesome.  Have bought this exact same bra before and loved it - same product code, but think this must have been 2nds in lieu of top quality sold in nicer retail establishments.  Wish I had waited to remove al tags so I could have returned it, but I was so sure it was like the others I had bought ( Even rechecked codes to make sure), that I removed the tags and tossed them along with packaging.

I am a steady 32DD and on some rare occasions when a band is very stretchy, I move down to a 30DDD. This band was so tight that around my 27" waist I could barely latch the last set of hooks to try it on. When I pulled it up it was so unbearably tight there was no way I would keep it. I decided to try it the rest of the way on to give the best review and it got no better. I was spilling out of both sides of the cup and the cups were neither soft nor flattering. The foam is thicker than a t-shirt bra needs to be and it's itchy. I generally have to tighten the straps to the shortest length and at the least, the half way point. I let the straps all the way out on this and it was still tight. I will never again try a Maidenform. I'll keep buying from figleaves from now on.

I'm a bit disappointed with this swimsuit. It's cheap and I love the design, but it wasn't meant to be. For reference, I'm 6'2" and 155 pounds. I'm not rail thin, but not overweight either. I run regularly and have a decent amount of muscle in my butt and thighs. I'm typically a medium in bottoms and a small in tops. I wasn't sure what size to order for this swimsuit, so I decided to fit my butt first and go from there, so I originally ordered a medium.

It was way too big, much bigger than any medium I've ever tried. At both Victoria's Secret and Aerie I'm on the larger end of medium as well. The bottoms barely stayed on and the crisscross straps at the front pulled on the crotch, wrinkling it and making it look like I had a massive cameltoe. Not at all pretty. The top was also way too big. I'm a (true, properly fitted) 32DD in bras and the cup was okay in size, but the band was ridiculous. Even tightened all the way, it gapped horribly and rode up in the back. Also, the design to tighten the band in the back is awful. You can't tighten them past where the shoulder straps connect, which gives very little wiggle room to get the right fit.

So I returned my medium for a small, thinking that this just ran a little large. I was sorely mistaken. The bottoms on the small were now way too tight. They looked good at first and felt a little snug, but after wearing them for a few minutes they cut into my sides and gave me a very unattractive double muffin top. And then I tried on the top, which wsas once again miserable. I tightened the band all the way before putting it on and while it was still too big, it fit much better. But the cups on this were miserable. I knew they were going to be smaller than the on the medium, but I didn't know they were going to be this small. They covered a 3rd of my boobs, if even that, and they cut in horribly. I had passed the much-feared quadboob and gone straight to the triboob. It looked awful, felt awful, and was an immediate return.

I've never tried on clothing that had such a significant and inconsistent gap in between two sizes. It's like I was given a small mislabeled as an extra small.

The only reason I've given this two stars instead of one is because I like the design, the colors were nice, and the stitching was well done with no obvious flaws on either bikini.

The manuf boast that this is a bra for full figured women.  I bought several of these bras and spent a great deal of money, and they simply don't work.

Straps:

They boast that these are comfort staps, but the comfort part is very short and does not extend to the area where most women experience discomfort.  In order to get the comfort straps in place you have to tighten the strap and then the bra is way too high on the rib cage which causes other issues. So you have to choose between shoulder pain or rib pain.

Cups:

The cups have underwires that do not stay in place after more than 2 washes.  The seamless sides do not support the DD cup and you spill over the top because you have to wear it on the last set of hooks.  The cups do not provide any support for the DD cup size.  It flattens and makes you look older and hanging.

The cups are lined, but do not mistake this for light padding that hides the nipple.  You will need a t-shirt bra for that. You can see all of your nipple in this bra.

Elastic Sides:

The elastic sides gave way and began to stretch out of shape after just a few wears.  The elastic began to poke through the fabric in little white bands.  The fabric looks worn on the sides while the rest of the bra looks brand new.

Material:

The material does not feel comfortable in the summer.  The side panels are thick and they leave a lumpy impression you can see through your clothing.  I hand washed and line dried these bras because I spent so much money on them.  I bought special laundry detergent for these bras.  I spent over $360 for these bras, chocolate, nude, black, white, & pink.

This was a very bad investment because they didn't last 1/2 the year.

I eventually switched to a better bra which is also made by Wacoal 835170.

Not right for me--the fabric is too stiff. It's so hard to find a truly lightweight, unlined underwire in my size. The hunt continues...

I bought a size smaller than my daughters original size and it was still big on her. It was also really uncomfortable and itchy! My daughter refuses to wear it again!

Although these are listed at a great price, the fit, comfort, and quality are subpar.  I purchased this set not expecting anything great (you get what you pay for), but have not been able to wear them to work.  The material is pretty thin and really harsh and itchy.  The material offers no flexibility or give.  The sizing is odd...I bought the set in medium (I normally wear a small, but wanted something with a little more give) and they just don't fit right.  The chest on the top is really loose and the waist is really tight.  I wear a 34 D cup size and still felt like top looked too loose and bulky.  The top hugged my hips tightly.  Although the top is designed for a woman, it has more of a man's fit.  I'm 5'6" and the bottoms were really short (2-3 inches shorter than my comfort level).  Again, they had odd sizing.  The bottoms were quite a bit looser than the top; even with the drawstring, it felt like they could easily fall off and the legs are really wide.  The top was tight enough at the waist that it probably would have kept the bottoms up, but the length was too big of an issue for me.  Unfortunately I pulled the tags off before trying them on, so I'm not going to return them.  They will probably just be a permanent fixture in my closet since I don't plan on wearing them--ever.

I bought the size I normally wear, 34C. I have other Maidenform that fit perfectly and wanted a couple new bras. Thought I'd try as a convertible good bra is always needed.

Sadly this is going back asap. It runs small  and large if that makes sense. Getting it on was not easy with the rubberized lining either.
I tried it first strapless. Meh.
I tried....tried to put the straps on and nearly threw it across the room. Ridiculous to get them on and off.
Finally straps on, I tried the bra again.

My breasts are wide spread. I need a bra that the cups are close together to bring them to the center usually otherwise I might as well not wear a bra and just bandaid my nipples.

Anyway this bra's underwires are definitely  very wide and are under my undearms not around my breasts. This would indicate needing a smaller size. Yet the the cups were actually on the small side already and I'm a medium C only at most.

On of the worst feeling and looking bras ever on me.
Still in love with my Maidenform  Comfort Devotion Demi style #9406 so much so that I can sleep in it and my Barely There style#4104. Have yet to find anything close to them worth having.

Uncomfortable! I ordered this bra because I like Triumph's fit and the way it feels on my skin. When I received my order and tried it on everything went well, considering the fact that I had it on for about 3 minutes. The next day I went to work wearing this bra and o boy! did I regret it! Everything that was touched by this bra itched, the skin on my chest and back turned red with irritation and in the part where the closure is I got a nice scratch. Unfortunately I cannot send this bra back because I cut off all labels so now I have to throw this $50 worth(LESS) bra in the garbage! I just read that it was made in China (instead of Germany), that might be a reason why it is so uncomfortable, cheap imitation of once a very good brand!

This bra was too small under he arms and it is not very comfortable because the stitching used us made out of something itchy and sharp.  It makes you feel less comfortable than s regular bra that has nice stitching.  I was hopeful based on reviews but I can't understand why they use such terrible scratchy thread. The Bravado bra is better and more comfortable.  Go for that one.
