As one who doesn't generally buy underwire bras because I haven't been able to find one that is comfortable, I was apprehensive. I have a shoulder injury so needed a bra with a front closure but still wanted something fashionable. These are just right. The wire stays where it's supposed to, doesn't dig and is remarkably comfortable. I put one on, and all i could say was WOW!!!

This is the easiest bra to hook. It is a comfortable underwire. I have RA and am able to put this bra on with ease when my hands are in pain. I have bought 10 or so of these and will continue to buy this particular style as long as it is available. Also the price is excellent. I cannot find a better deal in the stores.

It feels light even though it's constructed well with quality materials. I searched for a front closure bra that can be applied with ease and yet be secure(without it popping open).Normally wore a 38C but ordered a 42D to accommodate a little weight gain. Perhaps a 42C would work likewise. The only negative is having to pull the back part down in order to get that fit well feeling.

Ever since I found this bra, I refuse to wear any other kind. It is so comfortable and it supports so well. The front closure is just an added bonus. I will be like Peggy Bundy on that episode where she has Al go and get the bra she likes wherever she can find it. Love that episode and love this bra!

I finally found a bra that is more comfortable than others, the straps stay in place and never move over the shoulder, and I can fasten with such ease! It actually appears to flatten the back bulges a bit, as well. Extremely happy with this comfortable bra.

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.
