I have worn the front close bra with what is now called racer straps for at least 50 years.  When I went to buy new bras I was told that the department stores only carry a very small number and not in my size.  I ran into the same problem on line.  Then I tried Amazon.com.  When the bra arrived, it was perfect.  Just what I wanted.  The fit was great.  I would recommend this product any day.
