In my opinion this Bali bra is the THE MOST PERFECT BRA EVER MADE, truly.  I have been wearing this bra for 25-30 years. ( # 3432  " Bali Women's Lace and Smooth Underwire Bra" ).

 So many women have a very difficult time buying a bra that fits correctly.  I use to as well, until I found this bra. I hated trying on bras! Before that I had to try on so many bras to find one that was just 'OK'.  I always tried clothes on over it in the fitting room, to see how the bra  looked under clothes. That ONE  thing caused me to discard most of them.  Always do the clothes over the bra test before you buy a bra and check out the side view. (You probably already knew that!).

The Bali does not have any seams to distort.  I hate seams in bra cups!!!  They look terrible from the front and make you look distorted from the side.  Most bras have those awfully placed seams in the cup which gave me an unnatural shape and made me look 'yukky' front and side view especially if a person's nipple does not fall in exactly the right place on that particular bra. Sometimes I see women and I think to myself "  Oh, if I could only tell them they could look so much better with the correct bra fit.  This bra does not  smash either or push breasts to the sides.  I do not come out at the sides as with most bras or pouring out the top. Makes the bust look more natural.  It fits so beautifully .  It is so smooth and lifting.  I do not know how it does it but the lace lifts you just perfectly. The lace is woven more snuggly around the lower and side outer cup to lift.  The cups are lined with a very sheer fabric for "stability". The lace, to me, is not scratchy but soft and becomes very soft after a few washings and as it "gives" to fit just you! I always wash mine before wearing for the first time. It actually becomes 'your shape' after wearing for awhile. The shape is beautiful side view and front view. When you wear a sweater your breasts look so perfectly placed and shaped and, again, NO SEAMS!  Very Important Point - the back does not ride up with this bra. I have found that to be the case with most every bra I have ever worn.

I have purchased so many other bras in the class of Wacol, etc.,  over the years just to try something new. I may wear them once or twice then back to this one.  I have literally dozens of sexy, beautiful, colorful bras stashed away- to give away. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this bra is not sexy because it is! Lace is always feminine and sexy.  I could never give away the Bali lace bra as  I wear them so long until a hook comes off the back or a underwire comes out the side-which has not happened to me and even then, after 2-3 years of wear.  They wear extremely well. The stretch, soft lace it is comfy too.  It gives you kind of your own customized  fit  to your breasts whether you are high, medium or low set.  I modeled off and on for many years and I could always count on this bra for most all clothes except the lower cut clothes, which required a lower cut bra. This bra is also made in a one piece cup, all lace, body shaping bra.

This bra does not minimize me but enhances me.  I have bought the minimizer bras in the past but  I do not understand why, now,  I wanted to look smaller when I was blessed with a voluptuous bust.
I wash this bra in a mesh bag in the washer along with my other delicates in cold water and fabric softener. I usually hang them to dry but sometimes have just thrown them,  still in the mesh bag, in the dryer, on delicate, low heat setting. Holds up very well. The lace is firmer when you first wear it and as you wash and wear it, it gradually softens, relaxes a little  and takes shape to your breasts.

I love this bra so much I have worried about  the possibility of Bali discontinuing it.  It has been around for soooo long and is so loved by those of us who have discovered it, I doubt they will discontinue it.  I wear the black with darker clothing  and the nude or suntan like shade under whites and lights.  Also, it would be nice to be able to get it in more colors.  I have seen it over the years in beautiful limited edition colors but every time my size seemed to be sold out first. Listen up Bali!

I am a natural 38DD.  I order the size 38DD now.  It is more snug  when you first wear it.  The lace stretches just a little as you wear it.  When I first began wearing this bra I was a 32DD.  I gained a little weight around my ribcage over the years!  If you have never worn this bra before, it runs true to size, I think,  but even if takes a couple of shots at it to get the perfect fit.  If so, be patient it is worth it and you will have your perfect, favorite bra for life!  Try this bra, you will be so glad you did!
