A few weeks ago, I noticed that my bras were suddenly too big. I'd recently dropped a great deal of weight and so did my "girls." Anyway, I noticed the Bali Revolution Minimizer Underwire bra and thought, "Well, it looks comfy. And if I don't like it I can always send it back." The bra is absolutely FABULOUS. I loved it instantly. It lifted the "girls" and seperated them and gave them a smooth natural appearance with no lumps or bumps. The band was amazingly snug but no matter how long I had the bra on it never once rose up my back and pinched or bruised my skin. The best part about this bra is that it is for a woman whose "girls" have lost the war with gravity. And because of my massive weight loss, gravity had won hands down. This bra gathers all of the flabby skin under the arms and covers and supports it with the extra wide underwire. This is such a relief because now when I stand in my underwear and look at myself in the mirror, I have just two "girls" and not six and this is what has my "girls" appearing beautiful again. The straps are very secure and stay in place and never slip from my shoulders. This too is such a joy. Most bras that I own give wonderful support but I'm constanntly pulling the straps up. Would I purchase this item again? Yes, yes and yes! I'm just sorry they don't have any more in black 34 DDD. If you want a smooth flattering bra that helps your "girls" fight the war on gravity, then the Bali's Revolution Minimizer Underwire Bra will come to the rescue. It's a great bra.
