I love this bra.  It is getting hard to find-the Bali Model 3488. There are several that look almost like it, but they are not the same.  I ordered a pink lace one first.  I wanted to try it out, and then see if I liked it. I really liked it, and wish I could find more in the pick lace style in a medium.  I had tried one on at a store to be sure of the fit first. The lace is just on the outside of the bra at the top.  It doesn't touch my skin and make me itch.  It holds you in place well.  The straps stay in place.  Also, the straps do not come so close to my neck that you can see them under every t-shirt and blouse I wear.  I was wearing sports bras for the support, but the straps always showed under my blouses and shirts.  Then the straps eventually started sliding off my shoulders.  This bra has the usual hook fastener in the back, but I just leave it hooked and pull it over my head.  No pads to have to take out when washing.  I wish they came machine-washable.  I tried it in the washing machine one time.  I could see that doing that was going to eventually cause the bra to lose some of its shape and support.

The bra does come in numerous colors and patterns.  But I didn't care for most of them.  They are very loud colors and I don't like the patterns.
