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.

I bought 2 because the price was good, the purchase tipped me to free shipping, and I thought I'd try a front closure bra. These are very comfortable. My only concern is that they fit perfectly new and may be too large in a short while because the band is not adjustable. Unlike may lightly lined bras, the cups are not so molded that they can't conform to your own shape.

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

I ordered 2 cup sizes, same model, same band size because the larger cup size left a gap in the top of the cup. The smaller cup size, which fit well in the cup, was very tight in the band. I measured both sizes and the smaller cup size one was 1 1/4 inch smaller around. They should be the same. So, now I wear the one with the gapping or squeeze into the smaller one.

I recently had shoulder surgery making it very difficult to put on a back closing bra. Tried a few different front closures and fell in love with these - they are now my everyday bra. I have found they are most comfortable if you go up one cup size.

At first I thought these were great because they offered great support for a front close bra. After 2 weeks of wearing them, they've gone from great to okay. They still offer great support and great back-smoothing, but the wires on the outside of the cups dig into my sides. Also, like someone else mentioned, the front clasp gets twisted and is hard to unclip.

This bra is now the only bra I wear. Needless to say I have many of them, which I can afford when buying from Wal-Mart. I really like the wide soft band around the bottom. Stays put without being constricting or tight. The back of this front hook bra is great! Wide to help with "back fat" with the perfect placement of the straps so they stay all day where they are supposed to. Pretty, practical, comfortable, and affordable... Perfect

This s a lovely bra, but I did not know it was "lined". I normally wear the floral underwire that is not lined, but wanted to try the front closure style. It is easier to put on then a back closure style. This style lacks adjustability other than at the shoulders. This style is not a good choice for me hence my review. It does not reflect on the actual item. I'll stick to my long time preference.

I am so happy to be finding front closing bras again. They have always fit better than the traditional back closing--and the back doesn't ride up either. In addition, they are more comfortable, so that I'm not counting the minutes until I can take it off.

I have bad shoulders and can not fasten a bra behind my back. The front closure solves this probem. Also, the fit around my back is very comfortable and wide enough to cover up my aging fat. So, ladies treat yourself to a great experience in comfort.
