This is the bra I chose after being properly measured and it is very comfortable. I would rate it with all five stars if it were unlined. Even the light padding is not really to my preference, but otherwise I recommend this product with great enthusiasm!

I've always liked a front closing bra and this checks off all the boxes for me. Soft, comfortable, no padding (once you're a C cup or larger I don't understand the need for the amount of padding so many bras seem to have these days - I don't need any help in this area!!!). A winner for me, I would probably buy it in other colors like white, beige, black

This is the most comfortable and supportive bra I have worn in the past 20 years! I have a shoulder problem that makes it hard to fasten a back closing bra. The front closure not only solves that problem but also adds back support. This is my 3rd purchase of this style.

Having long been what 10 years ago was termed "nearly a B" I was pleasantly surprised to find Hanes' and Maidenform's standard 34B actually fit. Unfortunately Bali's runs a tad larger than actually fits me, however. It is a lovely bra and I do like it very much otherwise.

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.

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.

First let me say that this bra is very comfortable. It's soft and stretches nicely to give very comfortable coverage. However, it is also that soft comfortable stretch that has me giving it 3 out of 5 stars. Sadly, because of the stretch, my breasts are finding their way under the band in less than 30 minutes. I even tried to go with a size smaller band but still had the same results. The bands are so stretchy that I'm positive I could go down at least 2 full sizes and it would still be very comfortable. The problem is that the cup sizes aren't the same when you go smaller. So while 2 sizes smaller in the band would keep my breast from sneaking out the bottom, they would instead be spilling over the top. I already wear a DDD so the DD stretches just enough to cover. Sadly this bra isn't offered in cups greater than DD. I chose to keep the bra because of its comfortably. I bought some double sides fashion tape that I use to keep the girls from escaping!

Tiny plastic clasp is awful!!! The bra is good if you have a shoulder injury and can't reach to clasp in back. However this clasp will easily slide sideways in the fabric holding it. my hands are arthritic and very difficult to clasp because it is so small and weak.

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.

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
