Bra lessons
When it comes to body shapes, ladies, we're all snowflakes. As far as my snowflakes are concerned, this bra is a perfect match.Pros: Extremely supportive, and seriously minimizing (I lost 15 pounds the moment I put it on) but still super comfortable. The way I'm shaped, I don't have any problems worth the side flaps being to big, they hug my body smoothly and eliminate that ever so sexy armpit bulge that appears when I wear a bra that doesn't fit me well. It fits true to size, and I live the shape or gives me.Cons: none so far, but I'll update if any arise.Helpful tips for a better bra life:1. Measure yourself properly. Don't guess, don't assume and don't do it wrong. Google the right way to do this or better yet, visit the website of a reputable lingerie brand and do as they say.2. Don't cheat yourself out of a great fit because your size is not what you thought it was. We typically enter the world of bras at a age of when our comparison muscles are in their highest gear and our peers are convinced that some bra sizes are more desirable than others. Lots of young ladies determine their size in the dressing room, trying on articles until one seems like it's right, and assuming it must be accurate. Proper measurements are often skipped entirely. Cup size conditioning is a rampant amongst women of all ages and it causes problems when we take our measurements and get a number-letter combo we didn't expect. If this happens to you, relax, it's normal and it's awesome.Your girls are about to get a serious upgrade.If you've been wearing the wrong size, stop immediately. You're robbing your girls of their glory when you behave as if math doesn't apply to you. Go hey the right size, whatever that may be. When you finally put on a bra that fits properly, any discomfort you feel about a new size will vanish. You'll be too busy marveling at how much better you instantly look and how comfortable you suddenly are.3. Measure yourself at least once a year. Believe it or not, bodies change shape even when weight stays the same.4. Understand that support comes from the band, not the straps. Shoulder straps dig when they're asked to do a job they aren't designed to do. If they're what's holding your girls up because your name is the won't size, you will be uncomfortable, even if the bra is well made.5. A bra that fits properly will sit flush against your chest between in the center. This is true even for those of us who are especially blessed in the size department. If your bra does not meet your skin between your girls, separating them into two separate entities, you are won't the wrong size and it's causing an unflattering uniboob effect.6. If your cups are wrinkly they're to big.7. If your spilling out of them they are too small. You have twins, not quadruplets.8. Your name should fit you in the farthest or center hooks when it's new. As it wears, you switch to the inner ones.9. Use the right detergent. ForeverNew is specially formulated for lingerie and will extend the life or your new bras. It will also revive your old ones. It removes all traces of odor, sweat, skin oils, and deodorant. I don't know how it works, but it's like a magic trick. You won't believe it.8. Bras are supposed to be washed by hand in cold water. Fill the sink, put a tiny amount of ForeverNew in it (if you see suds it's too much) add your bra and swish the query around with your hands for about 10 minutes. Rinse and press between a towel to get some of the moisture out. Hang to dry.10.Hang dry on a hanger, fully clasped and by both straps so it keeps its shape.10. If you don't handwash use the delicate cycle and ForeverNew. Use cold water. Use a lingerie bag and make sure the bra is clasped before you put it in the washer.11. Never put a bra in the dryer. It's will run it. The fabric isn't meant to withstand that kind of heat and will lose its elasticity. The tumbling will bend the wire our of shape (the heat will help.) And the friction will wear out the material. Just say no. If you're desperate, dry a wet bra in front of a fan for 10-15 minutes or use a hair dryer on cool.Hope this was helpful...Now go be gorgeous!

This bra REALLY minimizes!
My search for a minimizing bra is finally over! I’ve tried at least 20 different bras, all claiming to reduce bust size. This bra is THE ONLY one that lives up to this claim. My shirts now button without gaping or pulling! Don’t be fooled by the price- this bra minimizes better than bras 3 x the price. I just bought two more to stash away. Highly recommend.

Wonderful bra!!
OMG!! LOVE this bra!! I’m ordering another in the tan and one in black!! I’m 5’ 8” 137lbs, wear a large 36C or 34D and because I’m super conscientious about the. If girls, I really want a good minimizer. Unfortunately, most minimizer‘s cause significant back bulges because they need to be relatively snug to hold things in place. This bra has a wonderful border of a light seamless fabric around the back and under the arms which doesn’t cause bulging the way elastic does. The fabric is also super soft sonthe bra is really comfortable. The other bonus is the fact that you can cross the straps in the back for sleeveless tops!! I’ve never found a minimizer bra with a cross back and the cross back bras I’ve tried on in the past usually don’t have straps that are long enough to cross comfortably.

FINALLY.....A BRA I LOVE.
Finally, a bra that has a flap under the arms to hold in the breast. And the band in the back is like magic where the back fat doesn't show above or below the band. The only thing I am going to do is have my tailor take in the flap under the arms to make it tighter. That is what a majority of us women want and need. To help reduce the appearance of the underarm fat. But I love this bra. Will be buying again.

Comfortable but not very flattering
This bra definitely reduces projection but it does it by smooshing your breasts out to the side. So instead of looking booby I just look fatter now. Not really the look I was hoping for. It is comfortable - I'll give it that.I found the band size to be true to size but the cups are maybe a little small compared to my other 36DD bras.

Side mesh sticks out
I hate looking booby. Tried on a bunch of minimizers and this was the best for actually minimizing and support, not being too thin without padding. Unfortunately the side mesh things flare out, they’re too big on me- and I like baggy armhole shirts. I got a 34D but I really need 32DD which they don’t make, I’m guessing that’s why I have the extra side fabric

Comfortable Support
When I think I have to wear an underwire, this is my go-to. It's much more comfortable than the many others I bought. The little extra support on the sides adds to the comfort, and definitely enhances support. Under-arm flab is reduced. This Bali is not a serious minimizer, however. I think of it as a gentle minimizer, which probably contributes to why it's so comfortable. But if you're looking for 3/4 to an inch reduction, you may be disappointed. You won't be disappointed in the fit or construction!

Minimizes in the wrong place
this bra is very uncomfortable. It's minimizing feature is very low on the breast and makes it very uncomfortable. I have no idea what the purpose of the extra mesh under the arms is for. It does not offer the side smoothing the write up says it will. It just bunches up under your arms and adds to the discomfort of the bra. The rest seems to be a better quality material but doesn't make up for the rest of the design flaws. If you truly need the support and minimizing do not order this bra. To top it all off I was going to return the bra but though I had more time and now I can't return it.

Lack of support. But comfortable.
This is a nice feeling, smooth bra however I returned it as it didn’t provide the same support as the Bali Women's Satin Tracings Minimizer Underwire Bra

A pesar de ser la talla correcta, no están bien diseñados.
Se desborda el seno por los lados porque no tiene buen ajuste lateral. Pésimo! Ni siquiera reduce o sea que cero minimizer. Lo malo es que me fui por la marca y compré 4!!!! Fatal. No volverIa a comprar ese diseño.

Good Quality
The quality of the material is good. The bra does minimize size.

Un peu déçue.
J'étais à la recherche d'un soutien gorge couleur chair pour pouvoir porter des hauts blancs, de ce côté la il remplit plutôt bien son office même si le petit strass fait une marque sous les vêtements...Le vrai bémol c'est le côté minimiseur qui rend vraiment la poitrine inexistante et avec une forme aplatie peu engageante, à cela j'enlève encore une étoile à cause de l'odeur affreuse de produit chimique qui se dégage de l'article et qui persiste après plusieurs lavages. Je ne le recommande pas.
