A comfortable bra
This bra is well made and provides good support. The straps are adjustable and the cups are comfortable. I found that the cups were a bit bigger than I needed, but because it so adjustable, there was no problem.

As presented. I have shoulder problems and am trying a front-closing bra. While not so easy to get on (due to my size), I am pleased with this bra. It is a good fit, comfortable, and doesn't bind or ride up. I will be ordering more.

Sizing is incorrect. Too big.
I like the front closure. Mostly comfortable. The cups are too big. Like adjustable straps.

Comfortable
Bought this for my sister, she is a plus size woman and she loves these bras. The straps are super sturdy, keep her girls held in place. She likes the closer too, comfortable and doesn’t rub. Over all this is a really nice bra for larger girls.

Pretty, but a Failed Result......
This is an update to my December 8th review when I rated the bra at two stars. I never did wear this bra out of the house, but I was determined to have it fit properly so that I could comfortably wear it outside of the house. I purchased a pack of the 6 hook bra extenders. The use of 1 extender was not successful in adding enough room to connect the front of the bra properly! When I used 2 bra extenders, the fit was what I had been hoping for from the time I ordered it -- a front closure with a firm fit. However, there was still the issue of hooking the bra while still trying to keep the lace that covered the line of hooks, free from damage while manipulating each set of hooks for proper, and successful closure. The first three hooks, beginning from the bottom, were hooking successfully. In trying to hook the fourth hook, the third hook unhooked itself and continued to do so every time I hooked the ones above it. I switched to hooking them from the top, but the success of that technique was dismal, because the hooks, both above and below unhooked themselves. The entire incident was a lesson for me in ordering underwear online -- unless it's the very design and size I have ordered no more than 6-9 months before, I need to skip it in favor of trying it on in a store that carries the item, which would allow me to know before I leave the store the design, size and firmness of the item I'm shopping for.Review I wrote in early December: Historically, I've purchased this bra a number of times, but at the time it was an underwire. I measured to assure I was going to have a correct size. I wanted a bra that would give me independence from relying on my husband to hook my bra in the back. Unfortunately, I have a major issue that prevents me from hooking my bra in the front also. I'm very disappointed to find that this bra won't allow me to put it on and hook it closed. I have arthritic hands, and my hands have weakened with age. I was able to loosen the straps to give me more room. I used a four hook bra extender I had on hand, and that wasn't able to do the job. I have on order a six hook extender and I hope that will allow me to manage getting the bra on. For all of you thinking about purchasing this bra, it's important to know why this bra may not be satisfactory for some women. In order to describe how the bra is made to avoid relying an underwire it has higher sides and a taller back for extra side and back support, fuller cups and wide straps. Plus, a criss cross flex elastic back that adjusts for an all day custom fit. In order to make the bra more attractive, there is a pattern on the front of the bra, and lace has been added. The major issue with the lace is that it is added up and down the six hook closure, and it lays over the hooks to hide that they are there. I can not move the hooks that need to close the bra together. There's too much resistance so that without the full use of my hands , the bra'sconstruction fails me. Having to move the lace out of the way in order to get to the line of hooks is impossible with the condition of my hands. I'm not able to pull the front of the bra . The criss cross elastic design that creates the flex support in the back is, simply too stiff. Additionally, the lace just won't stay clear of the the hooks for me to get them hooked. Having said all of that, for the great majority of women, this bra might be the one of choice. We all are different.SEE UPDATE --> One star review update: 01/05/2022

Cup size is too big
I wanted to find a bra with a lot of support. I am almost 50, and gravity is not my friend. The bra is fairly comfortable. I like the front closure, and the adjustable straps. Unfortunately, the cups are too big, and is the reason why I am returning it.

Comfy
It’s difficult to buy a comfy bra for a lumpectomy but I tried this style in 3 sizes. I do like this bra concept. Padded straps; no wires; high cut (full coverage); front closure. I originally bought these for Krav Maga training but the hooks keep coming out at the top in all 3 sizes I bought. May try a sister size. Well made fast ship

Very comfortable
I misread the description and at first was disappointed this was a front closure. However, I was not going to send them back (bought 2) considering together they cost less than one back closure from my usual store. So I tried one on. At first the hooks kept coming unhooked. As I was trying to hook the second one, the first one came unhooked, etc. Finally, I used my fingers to pinch the hooks shut a bit (no easy task) but using pliers would have made them too tight. It worked GREAT. They truly fit well, feel good - no binding, pinching, pulling, etc. - and I am glad I kept them.

Great bra with front closure
I have been looking for a front closure bra like the ones I have for a long time. I used to buy them at Sears which, of course, is no longer available. I ordered from several places but sizing is always off. I finally did a search with exact name & number of my old bras and VOILA, there it was on Amazon at a reasonable price. AND it is a PERFECT FIT. It has wide padded shoulder straps that are super comfortable. The only thing was I couldn't get it in white. The natural/beige colour is fine. SO I am VERY happy with the product and may order more!! AND the free PRIME delivery was amazing. I had it in 2 days.
