Wacoal Women's Red Carpet Strapless Bra

I’m so pleasantly surprised. I am a 32G and have NEVER found a strapless bra that actually works for me without looking too bulky or giving me a uniboob. My struggle with bras is that I have a small band but large cup. On top of that, I lost a lot of weight which sadly made me lose all my perkiness. To make it worse, the girls are very visibly different sizes, which makes bra shopping hard enough without the extra demand for support without straps. This strapless bra exceeded my expectations. It looks great with tank tops and makes the girls look the same size! I jumped around in this bra a lot and very aggressively to see if it would slip and nope!! It stayed in place and didn’t budge. It also looks good with a sleeveless dress! The back of it doesn’t go super high up, which looks very clean and flattering on strapless outfits. It is also surprisingly comfortable and doesn’t dig in anywhere. Overall, this is a phenomenal strapless bra! For sizing, I used my normal size and it fit perfect. I am 5’3 and 116 lbs and wear a 32G. I ordered a 32G and it was perfect.

Love this strapless bra!!! So I went to VS to get sized and they were like 38 D (did not like VS strapless bras). So I found a review to size down on size and size up on cup, and that’s what worked for me. I got 36 DD and fits perfectly. I already tried many other brands in strapless bras and this one is comfortable and price is worth it. Already order another one!!!

I'm just completely blown away here. I'll be honest, when I purchased this, I didn't plan on keeping it. Because I had reached a point where I truly believed no strapless bra could ever work for me. I have big boobs and a smallish ribcage. So I'm at a pretty awkward size- 34G. To begin with, finding a bra in that size is next to impossible. Finding a strapless bra in that size? Without the internet, it WOULD have been impossible. But amazon does have a couple of options. And this one had such high praise in the reviews, I figured it all came down to this. If the highest rated strapless bra didn't work for me, nothing would. So I begrudgingly paid triple what I'm okay with paying for a bra, and waited. Once it arrived, I took extra care in opening the package, figuring I'd need to keep it all in-tact for the no doubt return when this failed. And then I put it on. Now, I had completely forgotten to remove the straps. But when I did that first hook, I noticed that the straps were just lying there limp- They weren't doing a darn thing! And that's when I stopped doubting this bra, and just took a minute to stare at it in amazement. I then removed the straps (in case I was just seeing things), and finished doing the other hooks. Oh. My. Wow. There just really are no words to explain this. It's comfortable, holds me up, fits, and DOESN'T MOVE even when doing the wildest dance moves. I jumped, I did the monkey, the cabbage patch, and some unnamed (and rightfully so) embarrassing jives that would have me escorted out of any party. There was just no popping out of this bra! To be fair, I did feel the need to readjust it a bit when all the dance tests were finished. But honestly, I'd have to readjust even a bra with straps after all that (it's just the way life is when you wear a bra, lots of adjustments). But there was no embarrassing movement of the cups toward my belly button, no nipples had popped out, and I had only the slightest of cases of quad boob. Nothing I'd feel embarrassed about if I were in a situation where I couldn't immediately adjust myself. Like, if your husband had you stop dancing so he could introduce you to his boss who was standing right next to him. I'd be totally comfortable in that situation. Because this bra has my back... or, rather, my boobs. Speaking of backs though, I will say this did nothing to reduce back-fat. When you're wearing a tight bra, the fact that your extra flab squeezes out of the top and bottom of the band around your back is not anything new for women. I know some bras claim to eliminate that, but this is not one of them. For that reason, if you are self conscious about your back-fat, don't wear this with a T-shirt, or anything that's a T-shirty material. I tried it with an off the shoulder dress I have that's very soft and tight fitting around the bodice, and I found both the slight bump of back-fat and the ridges of the bra to be incredibly visible. But with a more linen type halter dress, I saw no trace of back-fat or the outline of the band. So when figuring if this is right for you, think about what you'll be wearing it with.

The Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless is the best of four strapless bras I've tried recently. It's the only one whose cup doesn't press the skin with its top edge. Other bras rely on elastic at the top, creating a small impression that's noticeable under some clothing. The Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless is molded to hold it's own shape and, when worn, transitions smoothly from cup to skin without break or dent. I'm already well endowed and usually dislike padded or molded cups, but this foam doesn't seem to add size and it provides excellent structure. The Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless also plunges lower than the others--they were cut almost straight across--so it better suits my v-necks. The Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless is also comfortable--a few hours into the test drive I forgot I was wearing it. FYI, the Lilyette Minimizer Strapless is very comfortable, with a slightly thicker and wider band, but it doesn't come in DDD and the elastic top of the DD cup made that slight indent I mentioned. Caveats: a few hours after the comfort and forgetting I noticed the left underwire poking my side. The wires are generally well covered, so it may be a one-off defect. It may also be a sizing issue: it didn't bother my right side, which is the larger cup size I buy for, so maybe the left side had a little wiggle room for irritation. This might also explain why I felt like I had to hike the bra up once all this came to my attention and I started futzing. Finally, I wore it on the first row of hooks, so I'm moving down a band size to make sure the bra still fits as I continue losing a few pounds. In all, I hope the next one I buy doesn't bother; it's generally comfortable, does its job, and I can't wait to wear strappy tanks in the Florida heat.

Updated: 6/21/25. Words can not express how much I love this bra. This is by far the best bra I have ever owned in my life. Worth every freaking penny. It is flattering, holds me in with and without the straps. I wish they were cheaper, but still worth every penny. 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.

Exactly as described. However smaller in size and I selected the correct size. Maybe go up one cup size for this particular brand/bra

Until I discovered this bra, I thought that there was no strapless bra that would work for me. So, for years I resorted to those bandeaus (they look like a band around your breasts...has no support ). They are much pricier than my normal bras but I needed a good strapless for my summer dresses and I did not want to settle for bandeaus again. So, I decided to give this bra a try since it came so highly recommended. My summers will never be the same! :) Here's what I like about this bra: (I am writing this review after having worn these for about a month and bought a second set) My size: 30DD (not a very common size...) 1) It stays in place. They have these waxy, plasticy lining around the cups and the band so that the bra stays in place. This was my biggest problem with other bras. So far, I did not have to go to the bathroom to reposition my bra. 2) Full coverage cups work well with chiffon type dresses. At first, I was disappointed that it was not a push up bra but I now understand why the fuller coverage cups work better. When you're wearing something thin like chiffon or just a t-shirt, there's no "bra marks" on your clothes that is sooooo unflattering. You know what I mean? When the top part of your bra cup is slightly sticking out and it's sooo obvious when you're wearing a cotton t-shirt or a chiffon dress. NOT SEXY! I had this bra under my chiffon dress and had no bra prints on my dress! 3) Versatility - quite obvious. You can have the straps on or off. 4) Quality of the bra. You can tell when a bra is going to last you. These will definitely last me a few years. 5) The band size is also a plus. If you know a bit about bras (and I've done my research) the best fitting bras should be very snug. This means on a new bra, you should be able to use the loosest clasp or the middle one. This is so that when the band stretches you still have a bit more wear left. This bra's band size is PERRRFECT even for a size 30DD. :D A little buying tip. Since these were quite pricey for me, I decided to buy them when they are on sale. THey do not go on sale very often but they do once in a while....Usually they go down to $42. I waited for that to buy them. The sales do only last for a limited time and the price goes back up so make sure that you are watching carefully. These are available at Macy's and Nordstroms as well and sometimes they are not all on sale at the same time so make sure you watch all three stores (Macy's, Nordstrom, Amazon) Amazon will be the best place to shop though because you don't have to pay sales tax. :D

34 DDD and it's THE PERFECT STRAPLESS. I have really "full" breasts - as in Victoria's secret bras never fit perfectly on me when it comes to strapless bras because they "squish" out in the front...but this bra is wonderful. It actually holds them up and in place. I NEVER thought I would be able to wear 1/6 of my summer clothes anymore, but this bra made it happen :) Other strapless bras I wore didn't hold them up, didn't stay in place (I ALWAYS had to pull up the strapless...you know what I mean if you are on this page!!!), and had a weird lump over the top portion of the bra (this is where fullness in front comes into play), but this bra doesn't do that! Benefits: - fits true to size - breasts stay in place - can dance freely without fear of falling down - only have to "readjust" during time worn if you feel like having more cleavage - perfect amount of cleavage (or none if you adjust them in such a way) - no weird "lumps" splurging out of the top if you are full in the front Downside: - after wearing it for more than about...4 hours I'd say, the back starts digging in a little and feeling uncomfortable. HOWEVER, I don't know if I would go a size up around the waist or not (for example, a 34 to order a 36), because I feel like they wouldn't be as perky...BUT I could be wrong! Take that advice with a grain of salt. To me, it is worth the uncomfortableness (as in a tight feeling) because I love my summer tank dresses, crops, and strapless ones too. ---- If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I know how hard it is to find worthy bras!!!
