BaliWomen's Minimizer Bra,Satin Tracings Underwire Bra,Bustline Slimmer,Full Coverage Bra

This bra is amazing. I've been wearing this bra for many years - I own 6. I will no longer be paying the high department store prices.I wear and order a 36DDD.I've seen a few comments on the lack of softness and the amount of stiffness. I can only discern this is coming from the itty bitty t*tty committee members. 😉The bra is full satin with wider cushy shoulder straps, a wide back, and four hooks.It pairs well for everyday wear and heavy exercise.A. This is a minimizer bra. Stretch is not a feature those looking to hold the girls up should be looking for.B. Stiffness is your friend when they're so large they deserve their own zipcode.This provides a beautiful silhouette and will keep them up when you're laying down and they want to lay down with you.If your ladies seem to eat more than you at lunch, hold all your essentials - phone, keys, money, are a D or larger, this bra is for you!Highly recommended and deserves all 5 stars

First the bad news: the fabric of this bra is unlike anything I've ever encountered on a bra. It's stiff, crinkly, and cheap-feeling, like a slightly thicker version of the stuff they make inexpensive Halloween costumes out of. The bra doesn't seem poorly or hastily put together; the seams look sturdy, there are no stray threads dangling and the hooks and eyes aren't askew, but I'd be really surprised if this is a legit Bali brand bra because the material just feels off. Also, the cups are freakishly roomy. I bought my usual size- a 34DD. But if you look at the pictures posted you'll see, in more than one instance, that that the wearer looks to have enough space to tuck in a small wad of kleenex right in front. This is very unusual for a minimizer bra because minimizing is generally accomplished by strategic smushing. This bra ends up creating a kind of conical bust shape that I thought was going to give me a horribly retro "bullet bra" look under a tight-fitting shirt.Imagine my surprise, then, when I debuted this bra under my most form-fitting cotton top to discover that, wow, I looked fabulous! Not only did I look like I'd gone down at least a cup size, but the shaping and lift was spectacular, like I'd lost weight, achieved perfect posture and de-aged 10 years all at once. And the straps! I don't know what other bra manufacturers are thinking when they put skinny little straps on minimizer bras. If we need minimizing, it naturally follows that we need thicker and more comfortable shoulder infrastructure! This bra's straps are thick, padded, and stay in place. Nothing else about this bra is super comfortable, because it's a little scratchy and has no give, but I'll trade looks and function over comfort any day.As we go into year two of no department store dressing rooms due to Covid, bra-buying continues to be dicey. My last minimizer bra purchase actually made me look even BIGGER. So stumbling upon this bra was a real windfall. I immediately bought two more just in case they stop making them.

So…… I have always worn and liked this bra. It has always provided a lot of support and minimizing effects. The cushion shoulder straps are good for large breasts yo keep from leaving marks on the shoulders. These bras have also been comfortable. I haven’t bought this bra in quite sometime. I recently purchased 2 of these bras from Amazon and I will say that since the last time I purchased this bra many years ago from Macy’s and Haynes, Bali seemed to have changed some things. It’s still the same bra that I have always worn and liked, which I am so glad these are still in production, but something seemed to have changed. And here is what I think:#1 This bra feels very stiff with just the slightest amount of give….if that. It makes it difficult for me to get into and out of this bra.#2 The straps are short, and actually seem a little shorter that my other Bali bras like this one. This makes it even more difficult for me to get on and take off.#3 This bra almost feels almost like paper. It’s not the same soft satin like feel of my older Bali bras of the same style.#4 The sizing seems to run a little smaller, or the sizing does not seem to consistent with these Bras. I tried on 2 of the same style bras in store, where one fit and the other seemed a little smaller around the back. It was like one was a 40DDD (that fit) and the other was a 38DDD (that was too tight).Because the size I ordered from Amazon did not fit (too small), I decided to go into a Haynes store to try on this style for sizing and found that I had to go up in back size from a 38 to a 40. Cup size fit as expected (DDD).I have never worn a 40, but maybe because these bras have very little stretch, is the reason I had to go up in back size.I also found that these bras in store still felt paper like and did not have that satin feel. I’ve on, the bra was pretty comfortable. So I went on and bought (2) 40 DDD anyway.Still a little difficult to get into and out of, and maybe because they need to keep its shape to be able to provide hold and support of the Breasts. Maybe after washing they will have a little softness to them.These bras still provide the comfort, support and minimizing effects I like. Aside from wearing daily, I also wear them like sports bra while dancing. The dance styles and workouts I do are very high impact dance styles where support is necessary. I also wear a regular sports bra over this bra to give me extra support, and that does the trick to hold the heavy girls down.I will return the 2 I bought from Amazon and buy the 40DDD.Sorry for the long review, but I hope this helps someone.

Bra fits nicely but the band runs a little small. I would recommend going up a band size (especially if you tend to fluctuate).

Yes, old style cone shape cups and thickish padded straps don’t make for the sexiest bar out there, but I think it looks great. It’s well made, support is good and super comfortable. There are seams on the cups so not a tee-shirt bra but wear a tank underneath and you’ll be good. Overall, great all day bra for the money and I’d buy it again.

Muy bien!

Me encantó el diseño del brassier. Siempre padecí con sostenes que me lastimaban los hombros o que no me daban soporte cuando se trataba de correr. Con estos corro 7 km y súper cómoda y sin lastimarme el busto ni los hombros. A demás me ayuda a disimular el tamaño 😅

Excelente producto, la marca Bali es calidad garantizada. Me quedó perfecto, el modelo es bastante cómodo y levanta perfectamente, pone todo en su lugar y los tirantes me encantaron porque vienen acolchados de arriba. Lo volveré a pedir muy pronto.
