I didn't actually expect too much out of a strapless bra in my size, but I have a dress that I'd really like to wear a strapless with, so I took the plunge when I saw FreshPair selling a Wacoal strapless at about 50% off retail.

What I didn't know, from the Amazon description, is that both of the two Wacoal items I ordered from FreshPair were NO RETURNS (considered clearance.) I wouldn't have purchased both if I'd known this ahead of time, but, happily, Wacoal sizing didn't let me down and I don't mind keeping both. I will be more careful when ordering from FreshPair in the future, however.

Between this bra and the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Wacoal-Women-s-Embrace-Lace-Strapless/dp/B003GDIDBQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Wacoal Women's Embrace Lace Strapless</a>, on my figure, the Embrace Lace Strapless feels a little more secure. Since this one offers the option of wearing the straps, and since it wasn't actually falling down, I just felt like it MIGHT fall down, I think this one will be okay.

As a lady with an ample bosom, these Wacoal strapless items are far and away the most thickly padded bras I've ever owned. I'm assuming this helps keep things in place, but I did find it really amusing to be buying my first padded bra in my late 30's...

This bra doesn't come up quite as high at the sides as the Embrace Lace Strapless, so it hides a little better under some tops. (That may also be why I feel less secure, however.)

I haven't worn either bra out of the house, but I thought a review was worth writing since I could directly compare the two similar items by the same great bra manufacturer.

As someone else noted, this bra came with ONLY clear straps, no interchangeable black ones.
