BaliWomen's Satin Tracings Minimizer Underwire Bra

I'm 5'6", 135 pounds. I am a 36G in Bali bras and this is the best bra and minimizer that I have ever found. I love the wide shoulder straps.

Reordered item, fits as it should.

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.

I believe this is a factory second, as the straps are obviously cut and resewn. I don't know how this can be sold as a Bali item. Their quality control must be terrible or someone is misrepresenting themselves. It's very uncomfortable, the sizing is off, it is literally painful to wear because of the shoulder straps. There is a seam cutting through the center of the cup and it makes it look like nipples are showing all the time. Not cool.

perfect fit 38DD! love this bra. I don't feel too busty its actually slimming or just more flattering in general.

I purchased a bundle of two bras in size 40G: one in cream and the other in black. At the time, I couldn’t select individual colors, and while black is my preference, I ended up with both.Fit & Sizing:-The cream-colored bra fit well and was more comfortable.-The black bra, despite being the same size (40G), felt noticeably tighter in the band.Hoping for a better fit, I ordered a 42DDD in black, but surprisingly, the band still felt smaller than the 40G cream.Comfort & Wearability:-A bra extender helped with the fit, but the overall material is uncomfortable.-The center wire protrudes, making it visible under clothing—especially when sitting down.Unfortunately, the company does not offer band sizes above 42, which limits options for a better fit.Support & Coverage:-On the plus side, these bras provide excellent full coverage and minimal bounce, which is better than many expensive brands I’ve tried.-However, the comfort issues outweigh the support benefits, making it hard to wear for extended periods.Overall Thoughts:While this bra offers the best support I’ve found in terms of full coverage and bounce control, the inconsistent sizing, stiff material, and uncomfortable center wire make it less than ideal. I really wish they improved the fabric and adjusted the fit consistency across colors and sizes.

My favorite bra! Wish they would make in larger sizes like they used to though!

This bra provides ultimate support and minimizing. I have bought this bra 5 to 6 times.It is high quality and looks brand new after washing and air dry. The material is smooth and comfortable. Looks very nice under tighter shirts, offers a nice smooth minimized look.I find it very comfortable and flattering.
