I have arthritis and am unable to fasten a bra in the back.  It is also very hard to hook them in the front and turn them around.  There are so few bras available that fasten in the front.  When I found this one, I tried not to get my hopes up but it turned out to be perfect.  It is pretty, comfortable and fastens very easily in the front.  There are a lot of people like me who have this problem so I know there is a good market for them.  I don't know why they're so hard to find but I'm very happy to have found this one.  I have it in black and beige and plan to buy another.
