I'm confused.  There is a Wacoal Lunchtime special bra.  I've never purchased a Wacoal brand but hear good things about it.  However, according to their sizing chart, I am a 38B.  I haven't worn a B cup in forever, so I checked their website, and got the same results after entering my measurements.  According to EVERY OTHER BRAND SIZE CHART I am a 34DDD.  Is Wacoal sizing really that different?  I'm not sure what to order and the last thing I need is another QVC return!!!

That's a tough one @Suzeecat 

I recently ordered a LTS bra of theirs, also first time....I went by their chart and had to order up.

It was correct, I would have never gotten my usual size on!

Just my experience...but you can always exchange for free.  If they are out of the size you need when you do the exchange, you should received a FULL refund.

Thank you for your valuable feedback @RespectLife .  QVC returns are such a pain, I think this is something I would do better to try on in person before making a purchase.

Don't blame you!  Bras are tricky sizing!

Every style and brand fits me different!

I have found I had to try on bras to get my correct size. Each style/brand seems to have a different fit. I did notice the size guide on one Walcoal bra was totally different from what I "thought" I knew about measuring and you're right, if I went by that guide, there is no way the cup size they recommend would work. Once you find your right Wacoal size, I have found that the sizing is consistent on the style # I order.

Good luck. I loath trying on bras. It's as bad as trying on swimsuits.

Wore Wacoal bras for years and found that the sizing was the same as any other bra I bought, but if you don't wear a size B then Wacoal size B bras probably won't fit. no matter what the charts say.  Bra fit always depends on the design and since I'm a DD, there are very few bras that actually fit me, but Wacoal did.

I agree about the Wacoal sizing being the same as other brands. Wacoal is all that I wear.

I wear Wacoal  for years, all the same size. I recently purchased one which was on sale from QVC in that size and it was too tight. Not sure why.

I too am a DD.  I have no problem finding brands with DD (which also just means E) to fit me.  I have lots of styles too.  Full coverage, plunge and demi cup.  No problem finding DD @catmama .

I always wear Wacoal bras.  When I measured myself, the size was not what  I was currently wearing at the time, but I followed the chart and got a perfect fit.

They work for me because I am petite with large breasts that are high in my chest.  I need underwire.  In other brands, the wire pokes my underarm area.  I have scars from years of rubbing. Wacoal bras never do this.  The wire is not placed too high on the sides.

If you know your size that fits, check on Zulily from time to time. They sell Wacoal for 50% off.  The larger cups sizes seem to sell out fast.  I stock up then.
