My quest for the perfect--or at least very good--bra has ended. During the last few months I tried several of the "step-in" and "pull-over-the-head" bras claimed to be the most comfortable wireless bras on the market. Certainly they are the most expensive. I returned each of them and decided to stick with my old favorite Glamorise front closure bra. I'm barrel-chested and so it's difficult to find a front closure bra that has a long enough band but doesn't make the cups too large. With this bra I can get a larger than usual band size with cups that fit properly. Additionally, at my age (70+) I need good support. I find wireless bras to be more binding than underwire bras. This underwire bra has extra padding around the wires. I also love the front closure. I do not want any padding in the cups--don't need it--and this bra has good coverage and provides a nice shape (no uniboob!) without the padding. I'm sensitive to fabric, but the lacey part of the cups doesn't irritate my skin. The padded straps are comfortable, too. I've worn this style for years and have found them to hold up very well. The clasp is easy to open and close, and the support is great! Read more
I followed Glamorise's fitting instructions, bought one of these and tried it, so I'm ditching my old bras and buying the other colors. This bra feels like I have nothing on but a hug. No digging wires or straps, no rolling sides, no back bulges, no feeling like I need to pull something into place. The key is getting the right fit. Don't guess at it because I have found that bras are sized differently across makers. The front clasp seems to hold very well, closing firmly with a click, and has not come undone unexpectedly. I don't have to yank the clasp around to my back, plus it's sexy. The flared padded shoulder straps stay up, don't dig in. (My previous shoulder pain has vanished!) The pretty lace at the top of the cups has a little give but remains in place, I think due in part to a clear thin strip of some kind of gripper. I don't anticipate spillage because every part of this bra stays where I put it and doesn't shift around. The quality is superb, and the colors are pretty and fun. IMPORTANT TIPS I learned from shopping at a well-known local bra boutique: 1) Use Glamorise's sizing chart. 2) Open back straps all the way. Try that, so you'll have room to tighten later, as wear may stretch them over time. 3) As you are putting it on, lean slightly forward from the waist to help settle into the cups. A good fit will rest on your rib cage under your breasts. This also goes all the way up into my armpit area. 4) Don't wear the same bra two days in a row, so the elastic fabric has a chance to recover. 5) Hand wash the bras every five wearings with a dedicated lingerie detergent and hang to dry. If you sweat in it between washes, just rise it and hang to dry. As a woman of a certain age with large, deflated breasts I have found this bra to be the best fit and the most comfortable to put on and wear. (I'm no longer planning my day around when I'll take off my bra!) I RECOMMEND THIS FOR EVERY FULL-FIGURED WOMAN LOOKING FOR COMFORT. Read more

Great quality, solid frt closier clasp, wide shoulder straps, and ample support for full figured, larger breasted ladies. To those who have problems finding a comfortable bra please read on... I'm the designated problem solver in our household. When my loving 58 yr old wife suffered a small bone spur in her neck that rendered her unable to attach her bras in the back it seemed easy enough, just buy front closure and all good, right? I ordered her 3 in the size she'd been buying from the local retailer for decades (38DD). When the bras arrived all seemed normal to her, but I questioned the fit noticing folds at the outer upper area of her breasts under her arms. This lead me to a plethora of YouTube videos and web articles on the Internet offering instruction on how to measure for proper fitment and cup size. She had many years ago determined her size by trying on bras at a local retailer, settling for the best they had to offer. When we actually made measurements and consultated the size chart, it recommended 36H/I. I immediately ordered a 36H but the back strap was so tight I struggled to connect it a the front, but we now knew the cup size was correct because the fold was gone and the cups were still full. I reorder this same bra in 38H and wha-la perfection! She can put her own bras on, and has the perfect balance of comfort and support. Something she had never known. Local retailers rarely have cup sizes larger than DDD, and never have them in front closure, with wider should straps. I feel a little guilty returning 4 items in a short time but we just weren't going to solve this problem any other way. The plus is, we will probably never return another bra for size issues, and we won't be reluctant to buy them all on Amazon. Read more
I bought this bra based on a rave review from a family member. While I normally wear a 38DD, I had to return that and get a 40DD. It definitely fit better and was comfortable once I got used to it, but there was a learning curve for me. It fits very tight to your skin and does not encourage cleavage. I was getting used to it so I decided to wear it to work. I soon found out that there is a diagonal line across the front of my boob that is super obvious under a tshirt. Also. My nipples were on full display. I guess I don’t keep my house very cool. So, I don’t know how to rate this bra. On the one hand, once I learned to like it, it is very comfortable. On the other hand, I can’t wear it anywhere, even at home (I have a teenager that doesn’t need to be scarred). Read more
