I don't know if I can send the two bras back. They are so uncomfortable! I wore Bali's front closure minimizer for years so I decided to try the new style. They ride up in back, mess with my posture, and even the front tries to ride up. They are the most uncomfortable bra I have ever owned!

Due to shoulder/upper arm problems I needed a front-closure bra. Overall I like this bra but with the majority of them the clasp in front doesn’t stay straight up and down, instead ending up tilting. I’ve experimented with sizes and they all end up that way. For some reason the bras with the print in the fabric doesn’t end up with the tilted front clasp.

I bought these since I only wear front hooks and am an uncommon size. Only Bali had both features in a lovely bra and as always, they are very comfortable to wear. I wonder if I shouldn't have gone a cup size up since it seems not to fit quite the same way as the ones I'm replacing - which have worn like iron for some number of years.

I've bought 7bof these bras , white, black and steel! The Steel color really surprised me because I thought it would show under my tops, but it doesn't and it is a nice soft color. The only thing I wish was that the front hook was metal instead of plastic. Other than that I would have given it a 5 star rating! Still is a great, uplifting comfortable bra and I will buy more if they keep them in stock. Also, it's great for women with arthritis, I am a senior and this bra is so easy to put on and hook!

As soon as I put this on, I knew I finally found the right bra for me. It's so comfortable, sometimes I forget that I'm wearing it. I love the front close and the straps are a little wider than bras I've worn in the past and these don't slide off. It runs true to size

Ordered 2 white, 1 beige. White one’s closures as in past bras. Beige one fabric sewn into closure is not stiff and does not fill up entire slots of closure. When worn, the fabric attached to the slots in closure pulls down and causes bra to pull apart in front.

Super comfortable. Back and sides very stretchy . I notice I have a small snag in the cup material. I cannot ever remember this happening to any other bra. Ordered these due to rotator cuff issue and the obvious drawback to front close bras is that the band can't be adjusted. Bras do stretch over time and this one is particularly stretchy already. No question of comfort, though.

I wore the front close Bali bras in 1996 and loved them. After a few years I could not find them anymore. Recently I purchased 2 of the front close shaping underwire bras. They are not the same quality as before. The front close snap is very cheap plastic that I'm sure will break soon. I love Bali bras...not these!!

Bra is soooo uncomfortable. I followed the size chart exactly but it isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. The band is so big it rides up and is between my shoulder blades. Zero support. The breast tissue falls out the bottom when I bend over. The cups are ridiculous. They are so big I literally can put my wallet inside while wearing. The wire comes so far up the sides it stabs me in the armpits. The center is so tall it sticks out the top of my v-necks. Ridiculous and uncomfortable.

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.
