I had a complete shoulder replacement in August and purchased a couple of these bras so I didn't have to rely on my hubby to help me dress each morning. As a 42DD I really couldn't see the necessity of the padding....and still don't, but it does provide a nice smooth look under lightweight tops. They hold up nicely to washing and the only complaints I have are that over time the back elastic stretches out and can't be tightened, and the top fabric layer snags and pills up.

These are the only bras I wear. I hope they are never discontinued. This order (3 bras in varying colors) is the second time I?ve bought them. They are very comfortable and fit perfectly, even though as a breast cancer survivor, my breasts are slightly different sizes. I make sure I wash them in a mesh bag, and lay flat or over a shower rod to dry.

The bra is beautiful! It has just the right lining and is not heavily padded at all. The backside of the bra is great and does not cover all of my back like other front closure bras. I washed it in my delicate setting of my washing machine and then hung it dry. It is still perfect!

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 keep coming back for more...have 6 in the current rotation. So easy to put on with the front closure and very flattering both front and back. Cut perfectly that the underwire gives great support without pinching anywhere. Cups provide good coverage to hold everything in place as well as just enough padding for modesty and yet low enough to wear with any blouse or tee.

This bra is a game changer for me. I have limited shoulder mobility and have been looking for a front closure bra that is still able to be worn under a t-shirt. This is it! The clasp is quite easy to use and is comfortable. The width and cup size are also perfect. I especially appreciate that my bra straps never fall off my shoulders. I now own three colors. Thank you Bali!

My regular size is a 40DD. I had purchased this bra in that size and found that it was slightly big in the cup, so ordered two more in a 40D. I have worn one and found the cup to be slightly small, so wish I had gotten the 40DD, however, I did not want to go through the hassle of returning the one I haven't worn yet even though the tags are still on it. I really like the front closure as I have a tear in my rotator cuff and this makes it so much easier to get on and off.

I bought this bra a few weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. It is very comfortable and the fit is right to the size. I especially love the front closure, no more struggles pulling the bra from front to back. It's a light bra not heavy like sum of Bali other bras.

Every woman in my family (young and old) is obsessed with this bra. If they go on sale they buy at least 4. So, I finally decided to give it a try. I didn't think that I would like it since I am more busty than most of my family and I have had wardrobe malfunctions with front close bras in the past. But, I did! I wish that I had gotten more! Very comfortable, great fit, easy on and off, straps stay up. Try it!

I ordered 2 of the front closure bras and they are wonderful. I have trouble with back closure bras because I am a D-cup and the heaviness pulls the back strap up between my shoulder blades which, of course, I tug at all day! If anything...I would like to see the cups made thinner, no padding, and the back strap could stand a little stronger elasticity. It would help hold the girls up a little better. Seems to stretch a little as the day goes but overall a very comfortable bra with good support!
