I haven't worn underwire bras in a loooong time. Mostly these days, I want to avoid the back closure with all its bumpy itchiness and feverishly avoid removable pads that shift and bunch up and annoy me. In this quest I spent way too long wearing rather formless, useless bras until recently when I finally rediscovered the beauty of the front closure underwire. The Bali ones were the best I found. Comfortable. And, dare I say, at 56, I am feeling sexy in this bra! The only oddball thing I found was the sizing to be a bit off. I ALWAYS wear a 36C but had to go to a 38C with Bali to get the right fit around my torso. So, no problem, I just ordered up. LOVE THIS BRA.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down the BEST front hook bra for DD full breasts. No more ?falling out? or ?sagging.? The band on the bra is amazingly comfortable. Initially, the lack of tightness around the band I thought would be a problem; however, the band stays in place perfectly through all kinds of movement and stretching. If the bra doesn?t seem to fit perfectly, play with the strap length. You will be amazed how much it changes the fit of the cups. Try it .... I am sure you won?t be disappointed!

I ordered this bra last year in hopes that I could wear it comfortably as I have Fibromyalgia. I found it very comfortable, the front closure is extremely helpful as I don't have the back closures rubbing on my back nerves. The wide band is also very comfortable around my rib cage. The straps are wide enough to where they don't put extra pressure on my shoulder nerves. The only drawback is the underwire, but I just make a small slit on the side and pull it out. For Fibro Warriors, worth a try.

Although I liked the front closure and the fact the straps stayed in place, not sliding off the shoulders, the band is way too loose! Every time raised my arms, the cups would move and the girls would show!!! I wear a 38DD, so I need something that will keep them in place... I wish there was a bra that would do that... don't want padding but do need something in the lining to prevent show thru with tight shirts. Usually love Bali, but I will be returning this one!!!

I always buy this style of Bali Bras. This is a definite improvement over the previous version. I like the closure better, it is more secure. the material that circle the torso is very nice and wide enough without being too wide. It does not tend to roll or bind. I wish companies would make more racer back styles as they are easy to close and the straps never slip. On the other hand, who needs more choices when this one is perfect!

I don’t like the bra becomes less snug throughout the day. I have other front closure bras that stay nicely snug. I think the band fabric is just too forgiving. Elsewhere I purchased the same bra with a smaller band size and the problem still exists. The cups are nicely padded and so, offer good nipple coverage unlike some other unlined or basic spandex type bra cup.

Since Hanes stopped making my favorite front closure bra I have searched for something similar. This bra is the closest thing I found and very pretty too. When I find a product I like I stay a loyal customer (Bye bye Hanes products). Front closure bras are great for women with shoulder issues like me and it’s nice to have a smooth back without the thickness of a closure right in the middle.

Originally purchased this style three years ago and I am so please with fit and the fact that it is front closure. Also happy that it is still available. I found a new color at a retail store but needed to order black so directly from Hanes was the best choice. Excellent prices and prompt delivery. I am a breast cancer survivor and only certain bras are suitable and comfortable. This one is great.

Am happy with fit, color, comfort. Machine washable, but I do dry on a hanger to avoid pilling. Where front clasp is sewn to bra, there is tendency for fabric to slip & bunch up at one end, causing twisting. I alleviated this by hand-sewing a few stitches very close to plastic clasp. It is a simple fix ? I wonder why Bali doesn?t do the same.
