B.tempt'd by Wacoal Women's Full Bloom Front Close T-back Bra

I have been eyeing this bra ever since it first arrived on the Btempted line by Wacoal. Despite the bad reviews I gave it a try only because on the B'tempted website there is one review about a woman buying this bra in a 32DDD and it fitting great. Hence I took the chance , praying I have the same success. Luckily I did. the 32 DDD natural fits true to size for it's structure , and the price of it makes me an overall happy camper. I assume that the consistent complaints about the bra fitting to small is because it's true only for the majority of certain sizes. Maybe the manufacturing process of this bra style went through a "problem" leading to some sizes working out and others not. so I suggest following the reviews that have your bra size.

I wear a 28e but can generally wear a 30dd as well and the fit is pretty much the same (I bought a 30dd in this bra). For some reason the band on this seems to be tighter than other bras I own in this size, to the point where gets uncomfortable toward the end of the day. I also don't like the plastic front closure as it irritates my skin after being pressed against it all day. This might be something that is made worse by the band tightness. I still like and will wear the bra but I may consider a band lengthener to make it more comfortable.

This arrived in a 30 DDD and orients the girls to opposite ends of the earth. The padding is wells shaped and is minimal but enough, though, and the back is a nice breathable mesh, so I kept it for wearing with sportswear-type shirts and racerback tanks. Band is tight and hasn't stretched out under multiple wears, and it digs in a little under the armpits. What we do for fashion, ladies, right?

It does its job but it cuts all day long. The straps dig in. Very snug. Made for women or better yet teens who have no body fat. I am a solid 36 and fit size 4-6 clothing. I like the thin straps and the lace t-back and light padding and the front closure style and the nice shape it gives me- hence the three stars. I just wish this was more than a five second bra.

UPDATE- even the 32DDD was too small- the front closure still dug in to my sternum and the cups still cut across my breast tissue. the sizing/style on this bra is completely and totally off- i went up 2 band sizes and 2 cup sizes and it still didn't fit. do not recommend.this bra runs EXTREMELY small. i usually wear a 28DD/E and after reading the reviews i ordered a 30DDD- it was still too small in the band and the cups. i found that the band is about 2 sizes too small and the cups are very wide set (usually good for me) so they feel smaller than they actually are b/c they cut across the breast tissue. i also have a problem with plunge-style bras digging in uncomfortably on my sternum, which this one did in the 30DDD. i'm exchanging for a 32DDD and hopefully that will work. it is so hard to find a racerback/front close bra in my size i'm willing to try just about anything.

I bought this bra because I have tried Wacoal bras before and they fit me well. The T-back is a bit on the tight side for me. I wear a 30C with a regular bra that hooks in the back. With this T-back I feel I should try a 32B, same cup size but larger band size.

Thanks ladies, I listened and purchased 1 full cup size bigger from my normal Wacoal size. It's almost like the padding uses us a cup size. I could have gone a # size up too, it's snug, but bras should always start out snug since they stretch with wear.I normally never buy padded bras, but this is just enough, it still looks natural in clothes. Shape is very good , I would buy this again.

I'm a 30D (I've been sized several times at professional bra stores -- not Victoria's Secret or Macy's), but since the reviews said it runs small in the cup I ordered a 30DD. The cup was still too small for me. The band seemed to ride high - probably a symptom of the cup being too small. Also since it's a front closure, there is no room to adjust the band size (FYI). The cups were also shaped really funny, so I decided not to go up another size. Another thing that may be helpful is that I already own another B.tempt'd by Wacoal bra - I think it's the push up T-shirt. That one fits pretty well - although the cups are kind of pointy. If anything, the band in that bra is a bit big (in 30D). So I guess this line has really inconsistent sizing.
