So I love the bra. Just wish that they had bigger sizes for bigger boobed people. Disappointed in the fact that I can't get a replacement.

I've been buying these bras for about 10 years. I wear 34DD but also 36D which has a similar fit. For those who have issues with the cup bunching up or not "minimizing", I would say it's definitely best to get professionally fitted and try slightly different cup/band sizes in-store the first time, then order online thereafter. Brands tend to differ between each other and what might fit you like a glove in one style/brand may not be the case in another. I like to generally stick with the same brands and minimizing styles as they have supported me relentlessly all this time.With this particular bra I rarely have to readjust (pull band down in the back and "re-stuff") throughout an 12-hour wearing period. They give me a less protruding profile and the overall look is smoother and cleaner than with a conventional bra. These are my go-to bras. So far I've been able to count on the name and style (Bali minimizer) to trust I'm getting "old faithful". I usually get a nude color, black and white every year. This is the first time i've seen a teal or otherwise exciting color.Cons: I haven't ever had issues with the underwire coming out ::knock on wood::, but I have had a recurring issue of the elastic weakening around the cup causing slight bulges. That's when I know it's time to change, generally about a year, but longer if well-taken care ofI generally wash in the gentle cycle in a lingerie mesh bag and hang to dry to prolong the life of each bra. The few times I've put bras in the dryer, the elastic in the cup starts to break down and fray. With experience comes wisdom - gentle cycle, cool water, hang dry.The band is wide across the back and therefore covered the ever persistent underarm bulge and bike tires under the back of the band. The straps are cushioned and don't dig in.Overall, I like how they make me feel put-together and lifted. I even feel slimmer because the girls are up and ready to go making me stand up straighter and walk with confidence and without bounce. That is the beauty of this minimizer. I do also pair this with a good slimming vest like Spanx or equally effective, but less expensive competitor at target (I think the brand is called Work It). Those two items make me feel like a million bucks whether in sweats or on a night out.

I bought one of these bras to start with and loved it, fit was perfect, washed up nice. Bought a second one and its nothing like the first, straps are not long enough and the band is too small.

This bra is one of the best bras I've ever worn, and THE best minimizer. It's sufficiently cute, it holds its shape, it provides ample coverage, and while the underwires can be a bit more uncomfortable than some other models, they're tolerable.And the price...you can get them on sale as low as $18. (I found one on clearance for $12, but that was just dumb luck.)Of course, you could go to a certain big department store and spend $50 and upwards for bras, especially if you are voluptuous, but when this bra exists, why the heck would you want to?

I absolutely loved this bra when trying it on and when walking around. It fit great and held me perfect. Then I wore it sitting down and that's when the problems started. I have major fat rolls on my belly which cause the underwire to be pushed up when I'm sitting, which causes the underwire that's between my breasts to push out "farther" than my breasts making it look like I have some weird hard lump in beween my breasts. It's definitely not a comfortable bra when sitting down which is what I do the majority of the time. This is a great bra for people who don't have stomach fat rolls or if you're going to be standing up all the time. Otherwise, I'd advise you to look for something where the underwire doesn't go so high on the chest.

Let me just say: I'm in love with this bra! I'm a 36 DDD...which translates into IMPOSSIBLE to find. This bra not only comes in my size, but several above and beyond. It's the most comfortable underwire that I personally have found, and offers suberb support. You can run, jump, bounce up and down and at the end of the day everything is still in it's proper place and you haven't put your eye out. the straps are wide enough and slightly padded, so you don't feel as if your shoulders are being dcut in half. The only issue I really have with it is that the straps are so very wide that the possiblility of wearing it with anything sleveless while retaining your dignity is almost nil. Other than that tho, it's pretty much perfect =]

Wow, I am sold on this bra! Its like being a brand new woman hahahaha. The only issue I had was that the back size runs small (which is a common issue with Bali bras). The cup and straps fit oh so perfect (I am a 42DD) but on this bra I had to really streach to get the hooks clasped. I worry if I go up to a size 44 that while it would fit my back better, I would loose the great cup fit I have with the 42. I am very surprized at how comfy this bra is given that it packs you in so neatly. I can wear it all day at work and not feel the usual pulling and tugging with underwire bras. I would definately recommend this bra and think I have found my perfect bra.
