I've been wearing Wacoal Full Figure bras for years. They are absolutely the best bras and definately worth every penny. In construction there are more stitches per square inch so they hold up far longer than any other brant. The Women's Awareness is by far my favorite full figure bra of Wocoal's. It does run smaller in the band then all the other full figure bras of theres. I still buy the same size but use the first hooks instead of the middle. The support is outstanding and the shoulder padding is so comfortable.
