All of this should be viewed in the context of there not being a whole lot of choice in larger-sized bras to begin with. I was happy to find a front-closing bra with padded cups and a straight back - racer back anything tends to climb up on the shoulder, which is fine for a sports bra, but not one meant to be work with work apparel like a portrait- or boat-neck blouse where you would just see nothing but bra straps. I read the description and could figure out why I hadn't bought this one before. Turns out, I did, and I sent it back because the front clip - no matter how you adjust the straps - ends up pulled diagonally, stressing the corners where the closure is attached to the bra. This will no doubt weaken the closure in those spots and it will break prematurely because the stress is not evenly distributed. I can "fix" the problem by putting stitches alongside where the closure is attached through the overly-wide loop that secures it to keep it from being pulled askew (or at least not as much), but I shouldn't have to fix a brand new bra. Unfortunately, if want a front-close bra with real cups and a straight back, that is not a sports bra, in a band size bigger than a 36, this is one of very, very few options so it's worth it to fix them, it just irritates me because this would be so easy to fix at the factory and it's such an obvious design flaw.

I finally have found a replacement for bras I bought 10 years ago. Bali has finally come out with sizes over a 38! This bra is very comfortable and fits like a dream. Those of us who are older (over 60) need a front closure because our arms don't bend around back as easily anymore!

This purchase was to replace the exact same bra ( except a couple of years older). I have this bra in every color available. It is comfortable, easy to wear, and looks great under everything, including t-shirts. I only wish it came is some other colors and I would buy those as well.

I have only bought racer back bras in the past as I can’t keep the straps from slipping off my shoulders. This bra’s straps do not slip, so I can wear tops without my straps showing at the neck line. The front closure is slightly longer than other bras I’ve purchased, and seems more secure. With the strap adjustment in the front, it is easy to adjust while wearing the bra. I bought two more after trying this one on at home as they are also comfortable.

The model of bra I purchased is pretty and good quality, but it keeps on rising up on the front. Being this is a front-closure bra, my girls tend to fall down and I have to constantly pull them back up. I was hoping the band size 36 could be sized somehow, but it's extremely stretchy in the back, which makes it even larger.

I love a front closure bra so you have no showing in the back with thin blouses. Have several in my wardrobe. However, this time the bra was just toooo large! Cups are larger than last time and also later around my back. Had to return. Wish they made a 32!

As someone who needs a front-closing bra that provides shape and support, this is the perfect solution. I tried the bras that did not have the underwire (since there are reports tjat this feature is not healthy), but they were not comfortable and tended to compress my breasts vs providing shape. Also, since front closures are not available, I ended up closing them and then twisting them around. So...have stocked up on this model and hope that my supply lasts a long time.

This is the 1st time I put on a bali bra that wasn't a perfect fit. This one, must be a mistake a too short, right cup too big top of cup unfilled enough material could lay underarm. I waited two wks to try on again, thinking not taking time to adj , was in hurry 1st time etc. This was the bra, I was looking to buy, underwire, front clasp, would have bought 2 or 3 but couldnt( tried couple more times )but limited 1 per cus. anyhow, this reason returning from now on will buy in store make sure fit is a keeper.

I absolutely love the comfort. This is the 1st front closure bra that I have ever truly loved. However, after wearing for only 3 times the wire posed through the front. I have only wore 2 of my bras so far so I am hoping that no more wires poke through the other ones. As far as comfort us concerned they are great. I have a big back and they fix really well. Maybe I just got one that was missed in inspection Would definitely buy again.

I have had it with back fastening bras! I pulled a muscle in my shoulder and hooking a bra in the back was pure agony. Finding a front hook bra was a challenge. This bra was a miracle find! It fit perfectly right out of the package, hooks easily, and is the most comfortable bra I’ve ever had. My original order was 1 black and 1 nude, went back and ordered a little get lavender, with matching panties. In 58 years of wearing a bra, this is THE most comfortable!
