I've probably tried on over 20 different strapless bras and this is the only one that comes close to fitting me perfectly. I have shallow, wide root, breast tissue starts high, splayed breasts... all this AND I'm a 32D, which is pretty much the hardest size and shape to fit. There is a tad amount of empty cup on the bottom near the sides, but nothing compared to others I have tried. I even went to a fitter who tried to give me a 32DD, which obviously made the problem even worse. This bra is well made for the price and is comfortable and holds up nicely. I didn't have to ...rearrange it all day. Pushes my back skin/fat down creating a monster roll that is sort of painful to see and feel. Has side boning. ****update, this fits so badly. i thought my breast were splayed, but in fact they are full on top and center full, making the gore not tack and the cups get pushed down, creating lots of empty space at the bottom of the cups.

It works, but that's about all I can say for this bra. I'm sure if properly fitted this would be a wonderful bra for someone. Where I live going to a store and getting a bra in my size just doesn't happen. This was the closest thing I could get to work even though it is way outside of my size range. It is definitely a workhorse bra (seeing as how it can hold me together). Straps are short evenly when fully extended. Side under wires dig in when new but when its worn in that doesn't cause a problem.
Definitely too big in cup and band. Molded foam gives a nice shape even though I don't fill cups. Not too much forward projection, more accommodating sides. Band stretches out over time.
This bra is designed with padding that is thickest at the bottom of the cup and this layer gets thinner as it goes up. In theory this is intended to give a push-up effect without being too obvious, unfortunately it mainly just sacrifices the space available in the cup for the breast tissue. When I bought it from a no-returns and no-exchanges seller I hadn't figured out my correct size range yet, but I'm sure that this bra will fit someone perfectly - that someone just isn't me.
I got this bra because it was the best cup fit I may have ever found. So then I ordered two more online in two more colors. However, the band was definitely too large, and the straps didn't quite tighten down enough. So, it was good, but not great. I have since altered the band, so that it is now approximately a 30DD, and I took ~1 inch off of both straps. Now, it's nearly perfect!
I bought this bra as a closeout final sale, and received the wrong size so it went into the back of the drawer after I tried it on - knowing that it wouldn't fit - so I wasn't surprised that the cup/wire wasn't wide enough, and the top is too closed which is why I get quadboob. The band is stretchy but not overly so.
No, it is too small for me. The gore gaps away from my sternum and the straps constantly slip off my narrow shoulders. Not comfortable to wear all day.
Better fit than the bali concealers back smoothing underwire I have in the same size, though I spend almost as much time tugging the band down and adjusting my boobs. Stretches out in the band fairly quick, after only a couple of months the two in this style in a rotation of 6 total bras are already on the tightest hooks and still riding up in the back with almost no strap length adjustment just to keep quad look minimal.
If I'd known my "right size" (which Bali doesn't make in this bra)....sigh...I love the style, but the size it is means I'm pulling the back down and adjusting the straps constantly and all day. And it's still not comfortable for me, but that might be due to the constant fighting with it trying to make it so. The center gore doesn't tack, but where the cup starts at the side is maybe the one thing that does work for me, since I'm wide root and equally full all over (not fob or fot but somewhere in between...?)
Grossly mis-sized in this now, but when it fit, it was an okay support bra. Gave a very pointy shape and large amounts of coverage. The boning in the sides poked a lot, despite the band being quiet stretchy, and I felt like the wires themselves came up very high, and poked into my armpit. In my opinion, a very ugly bra as well.
Even though this bra gets a sad face, it's one of my more comfortable bras :/ The main problem is the cups are too tall and rub my armpit. I don't fill out the top of the cup so there is wrinkling. The fabric itself is very soft. The band is a little loose but obviously, I wear a 36.
The band length is a bit snug, but not very uncomfortable. After wearing it for a few weeks this was no longer a problem. The top of the cup wrinkles a bit. I am not sure if I should go down a cup size, or if it's because of the shape of my boobs. The slight wrinkles do not show through a shirt, and isn't very noticeable.
I like the shoulder straps, they're very comfortable, the underwire fits well (no poking), and the fabric is very soft and comfortable.
This is an industrial strength bra meant for serious containment. It does not fit as well as some of the other recent purchases. It does fit better than the bras recently purged which meant there are none of those to wear while gardening, cleaning, or exercising. I have never had a sports bra that has worked well enough to keep. I hate pulling a bra on and off a sweaty body so prefer bras that fasten. I can exercise in this bra with very little movement and very good support. The bra appears to be stretching out and conforming to me better with each wear. At first, there was wrinkling along the seams. That has disappeared and the bra seams are not showing under heavier t-shirts. It was a relatively inexpensive purchase compared to my other listings and a bra that I may wish to alter at a later date by lowering the center gore.
This bra is snug and comfortable. No poke, no stretch, and I think it will last forever. It has a shiny satin finish and nice appearance. Except for my top wrinkling problem this bra comes SO CLOSE to fitting!
If only this bra weren't absurdly small on me in the cups, I'd love it. It's great quality and such a gorgeous color and you can get it at a cheap price. This is an excellent T-shirt bra.
the cup is too small, the back is too big and there is very little support. The underwires are very far off my ribcage at the center. It's a bit scratchy and I haven't been able to figure out what exactly is in between the layers of fabric that scratches.
