Worst bra. Ever, October 3, 2008
This review is from: Bali Women's Concealers Underwire Bra #3411 (Apparel)
I give it no stars.
I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing. I would have to agree with the small band size wearers. I am a 36DDD, and this bra was just an awkward fit. Being that it is SO hard to find a bra in my size I could have lived with just that. But to make an uncomfortable situation worse the straps and band are made of something akin to organza, which may be 'pretty' but on your skin it's just like a fine grit sandpaper. Also, along the bottom of the band (in the organza from hell we shall call it,) there is sewn a very taut, small, round elastic. I am assuming the purpose of this is to keep the organza from hell band from slipping, as organza is wont to do. What it feels like is tiny spikes adhering the sandpaper to you. To top it all off the stitching on the clasps, at least on mine, was clipped at the bottom corners on the skin side. The thread is similar to that in a cheap comforter, nylon like, and it actually did leave two sores on my back. And I only wore The Beast for 6 hours.
Yes, I'm pretty sure this bra is the anti-Christ.
So if someone is holding you under duress, or you are a lemming (in which case you don't need a bra and they don't really jump off cliffs, you know, check snopes), go a band size up. I still think it will torment you, but if you're into that then I'm sure you'll be okay with this evil bra.
ATTN BRA MANUFACTURERS: We buxom lassies would like a fair bit more consideration in your game. Especially those of us who wear the small band sizes. We are more in number than you think, maybe you should do some polls. Yes, I heavily suggest you do some polls. Not only on size, but on comfort and fit as well. When you get size, fit, and comfort down we would like some variety. I refuse to believe that one cannot make a pretty bra in my size. With some nice color selection. And we'd like as fair a price as you give everyone else.
Do some polls.

Great bra!, February 10, 2008
This review is from: Bali Women's Concealers Underwire Bra #3411 (Apparel)
This is a very nice, modest bra. It is a more tailored style, but still pretty. It has a lining that provides shaping and is smooth enough to disappear under clothes. Best of all, these "shaping petals" fused inside the cups really do almost completely eliminate any display of being "chilly" and help avoid the embarassment that causes. A first of its kind! I found it fit me true-to-size, also. I ordered one to try it out, and will definitely purchase more. I do wish they had a few more color choices, but the neutrals are good.

poorly shaped cups, April 28, 2008
This review is from: Bali Women's Concealers Underwire Bra #3411 (Apparel)
like janet d. says, all small band wearers take caution. i bought a 32dd, and the cup is very poorly shaped. it feels as though they took a large bra and simply shortened the band-- the cup is much too wide and flat. the underwire extends beyond the edge of my breast, there's gaping under the arms, bulging at the front, flattening of breasts, and the concealer petals don't sit in the right place for me. this might just be a symptom of small band sizes, but all buyers should know that the width/depth of the cups are not adjusted based on the band size. the diameter of this cup was 6" as opposed to the 5" in my other 32dd bras.
