Glamorise Full Figure Plus Size MagicLift Seamless Sports Bra Wirefree 1006

Disclaimer: You need to size up in this bra and brand! At least, I had to. I normally wear a 42F in other brands, but 44DD in this bra is perfect for me. The standard rule of going up a band size & down a cup size than normal for a sports bra definitely applies here. If you buy your "normal" size, the bra will likely be very uncomfortable, especially under the arms. On to my review. This is the only bra I will ever buy again, for both exercise and daily wear. I have had my bras for two years. I bought them in black. They are still like new. No fading. No stretching. No holes. No pulled fabric. No slouchy straps. No joke. My "girls" are in the same place they were when I put my bra on in the morning- high and beautiful. Most bras sag and stretch by the end of the day, and have to be tossed after a year or less of wear. Not these. I hand wash these to preserve them even more. But seriously, they give firm support but are incredibly comfortable IF you buy the right size. These wick away moisture like it is nobody's business. I am one of those girls who sweats. It's just a fact. This is the ONLY bra that isn't damp at the end of the day when I take it off. Maybe that's TMI, but most of you ladies really do want this info for yourselves, I just know it. ;) I love the fact that these come in four colors in my size. That is extremely rare. These look fine as a sports bra, but also work beautifully under clothing. Really. There is no little ribbon to poke through your tee shirt (pretty as that ribbon is, it's completely unnecessary). This bra makes the chest area look firm and fit- trust me, you will have no "bra hangover" with this, either on the sides or on the girls (nothing makes a woman look worse than "spilling over" and having underarm flab hanging out). It is as firm on the sides as it is on the girls. That said, it doesn't give you the uni-bo*b look. The support in this bra is amazing, and aids in relieving back pain from a heavier chest, if you have that issue. Hope this review helps! Read more

I've been buying/wearing this model Glamorise bra for over 5 years now and as long as they keep making it, I doubt I'll ever wear anything else. I'd trouble with shoulder pain for decades and while this bra didn't get rid of it (because nothing will) there has been a marked improvement. As others have mentioned it is very important that you measure and select your size using the Glamorise chart, their sizing is different from any other bra I've ever worn in my 60 years. I'd been wearing a D cup in every other brand before measuring for this one and was shocked it was coming out to a G. I thought it must be a mistake and I'd end up having to return it but I'm so glad I took the chance because it fit perfectly. I was diagnosed with diabetes about two years ago and have been slowly losing weight so I'm back to order a another one in the next size down. I started at 50G and am about to order my first 40G one, so far I've had no complaints whatsoever with the fit, quality or comfort of any of the many of these I've purchased. For me, this truly is the perfect bra. Read more

At a 36G, I am on the smaller side of huge. Apparently this bra works for those who have higher letters in the alphabet; not so much for some of us. For ME, this was the worst bra I have encountered. The 5 hooks covered my entire back. Yet, it was not helpful in adding support at the band. There was no support at the front to balance the wide back. Since the design relies on the shoulders to support the crisscross the wide band appears to be an anchor for the shoulder straps. That is painful. The cups make an artificial “perky” shape. The outermost point of the cup is high above my nipple. Basically, my breasts were lifted, but not in a natural way. Some could find this flattering, I do not. My breasts have a natural round shape when lifted correctly. But this is not designed for me. Minimizers that just push all of the extra tissue into the armpits create havoc for working out. Breasts are supposed to be in front so the arms can move. This cup is shaped to mush the breast in front. For a G, the front is not the problem. We just need to stay contained. This bra doesn’t spill is the best thing I can say. The itchy fabric is awful. There is not much I can add to other reviews of the fabric. It does not need to be satin, but something other than this sandpaper would get another star or 2. Overall, it just is not a good design for those of us who are just a little larger than most. 36 does not need the harnessing of “full-figure support.” And a G cup does not need minimizing; we need natural contours that hold their place in front.

I have a lot of trouble finding bras that fit will and don't cause back and neck pain. I was really hopeful that these would work, but these (pink and blue) were SO tight. I managed to get into one after several minutes and was glad to see a reviewer mention an extender, so I ordered a few. Even with the extender it takes me a while to get into it. Every brand fits differently, and many styles within the brands fit differently, which makes it really difficult to buy a well-fitting bra online. I decided to keep these because they're well made and they do hold my breasts up (so tight, they don't really have any choice!). I'm hoping they'll "relax" a little so I can wear them all day, but we'll see. If you knew how many bras I've tried in the past few years, you'd know this is actually a good bra for me. I think the quality it good and it does have support. I had tried other Glamorise styles that gave me no support, so I'll stick with these for home wear. Read more
