Wacoal Women's Red Carpet Strapless Convertible Bra

This big busted, mother of 2 who has just lost 60 lbs has found something I never thought was possible. A supportive, flattering, true to size strapless bra to hold up my size 36G deflated water balloons. I initially thought it couldn’t be worth the money. I was nervous about spending that much without trying it on. The 2 that I had before were from Lane Bryant purchased on sale but were WAY too big and to be honest were uncomfortable and didn’t have great lift for my size 40DDD’s at the time. This has the same lift as my regular bras and has perfect coverage. I am not positive how it will hold up over time because I just got it, but I won’t use it a ton. Maybe more than before being that I went from a size 16 to a size 8. I am glad to know that I will have the option to wear strapless clothes now.The only con I see is that it only comes with regular straps to attach, no clear straps like I had gotten with my Lane Bryant bras.

In my long life I have never been able to find a strapless bra I liked. I tried this one after watching influencer Dana Berenz’s YouTube show regarding larger breasts. It took me three tries to get the size right. I will never understand why when one goes down in band width the same cup size (as the larger band width) just doesn’t work. I went down in band width and up a cup size. Perfection!Dana says strapless bras aren’t that comfortable. For me this is an all day comfortable and very wearable bra. It doesn’t shift around. I have neck issues and the normal bra shoulder straps go right over my shoulder blades which can be painful when my neck is flaring. Having the ability to take off the straps was fabulous and the bra felt heavenly. What a relief! You can wear the (easily slipped on and off) straps various ways, to take care of many clothes wearing challenges.This is a long established (1949) Japanese company and their bras are usually high quality, in manufacture; function; fabric and in fit (when you land on the right size). Note: On their website Wacoal offers online bra fittings by their fitting experts. Or written detailed instructions on how to measure, in order to choose the best fit.Give this one a try!

I had recently purchased this in order to wear a strapless dress for my college graduation so keep in mind that I was wearing it for several hours. The bra was definitely not all that comfortable but it did make me feel much more "secure" than previous bras did. It covered up well but still felt supportive. The lining of the bra has a clear plastic on the top and bottom (it reminds me of the squishy clear plastic that is under a credit card or gift card when you first receive it) and it works fairly well at stabilizing the bra as compared to tightening the bra until you can't breath! I only have one other strapless bra which was bought at Victoria's Secret and though this one had cost more, they were not too different. This one feels supportive and you don't have to constantly pick the bra up while going through the day, but the plastic lining can become uncomfortable. It might just be me, however, and for others the plastic lining won't be an issue. Aside from that, the bra itself is fairly simple looking though it definitely feels like it is a good quality bra. It is not incredibly thin nor does it have lacing all over which can potentially make you feel itchy (as it does for me). I had liked that about it because if you are planning on wearing something that is a bit thin (silky maybe), you don't have any little lace decorations that pop out and make the bra noticeable. As someone with a somewhat larger bra size (Just about a 36-38DDD), I still give the bra approval because it is supportive enough to handle any bra size in my opinion. Bras can be quite complicated for those with larger sizes and especially strapless ones. However, this bra does come with straps as well so you can use it as a regular everyday bra after the event you are planning on using it for! I still wouldn't say it is a personal favorite in terms of comfort but I do think it is worth the money if you will be wearing a lot of strapless shirts.
