If I'd known then what I know now, I would have written down which brands/models/sizes fit me because I could have looked for them in sales or auctions (20/20 hindsight) bras of various sizes in with me (I had told her I was on a budget and she had sounded sympathetic, maybe she was hoping I wouldn't actually check the prices? I literally can't afford not to check prices) she threw in a couple others after I found her and asked if she had anything on sale, and thus I ended up with a beige Wacoal 85567 34H for 45$ (although there were bras that fit better, I couldn't afford them). I had a professional fitting at Nordstrom, but she never told me my measurements or size, just threw three 80$. The 85567 (of which I have seven, so I feel confident in them) is a little too small in the cup volume and underwire height and the gore doesn't quite lie flat against the sternum, but it gives fantastic support and feels as if it fits (even though it doesn't, quite). I suspect that my cup size is actually slightly larger than this, because the similar Wacoal 855170 was definitely too small. Read moreĭespite how it sounds on paper, this is the best bra fit I've found so far. I'll post an update when I've successfully modified the gore on a used model. These features are expensive and time consuming, but I now better understand the list price. Sincerely, if comfort is important, Wacaol thoughtfully designs bras with comfort in mind.

In fact, this is my favorite unlined shape, to date. wires for my short-waisted, close set, center-full self. However, the other Awareness features are so wonderful, I'll purchase a used model and replace/trim wires to a suitable size and overlap the gore. I would really appreciate an unlined for close-set, center-full, immediately projected breasts. This bra seems well-suited for average root width, average projection, average space between breasts.

And, Wacoal is not known for center projection. No matter how much a manufacturer pads their wires. This is one of their stand outs, in my opinion. Wacoal is at the top of my list for comfortable bras.
