Bali Women's Minimizer Bra, Satin Tracings Underwire Bra, Bustline Slimmer, Full Coverage Bra

I've been wearing this Bali style for the last 12 years. It's the only style I've been truly happy with since! Yes, I've tried other styles, but they always lack either in support and lift or shape. And that's where this one shines! Support, lift, and shape.Just a few thoughts on things that have come up in the reviews:1) Straps too short: I have not noticed this personally. In fact, I tend to tighten them up as far as possible, which is not very far. So there is probably room for improvement in the adjustability of the straps.2) Band too tight: I feel this is a feature, not a bug. The support of a bra comes from band. Yes, the band does feel tight the first few wearings (I admit it leaves red marks at first), but it loosens up pretty quickly with wear.3) Cups don't stretch: Non-stretch cups are key to support and shape for a large bust. Again, I see this as a feature, not a bug! It is so hard to find a bra with non-stretch cups, and whenever I give in and buy one with any stretch at all, I find I look dowdy in clothes.4) Cup seams wrinkle and show through clothes: This tends to be true when the bra is new. After a washing or two the wrinkles go away.5) Fabric is not soft: Again this is true before a few washings.6) Bullet or cone shape: This bra can look somewhat cone shaped at first, but again, after a few washings that shape softens to just a very nice-under-clothes youthful look. The fabric really does soften up with wearing.7) Center underwires poke forward: A bit annoying, but I found with a large enough cup size, this is actually minimal. But I bend those wires back toward my breastbone into a curved shape and--presto--they no longer show!Pro:Great support and lift.The price is reasonable.Cons:I wish they had more large cup/smallish band sizes (for instance there's no 34G), and more colors in the larger sizes.The G cup sizes have only 3 rows of hooks, while all the D, DD, and DDD cup sizes have 4 rows of hooks! It makes no sense. And I notice that since I've gone up to a G, the support does suffer with the fewer hooks.

Just what I needed

This bra delivers on its promise to minimize. The compression is effective without feeling overly tight, and the wide straps are a big win—they stay in place and are very comfortable on the shoulders. The fabric is soft, pretty, and feels well made.I did notice a little top spillage and that the center underwire shows slightly under certain tops. The underwire can feel a bit firm after many hours of wear, but for shorter days or special occasions, it’s perfectly fine.Overall, if you’re looking for a minimizer that provides great shaping and support with comfortable straps, this one is a strong choice. Just consider sizing adjustments if you have a fuller top bust.Pros:• Effective minimizing and shaping• Comfortable, supportive straps• Attractive design and quality fabricFit Notes:• Minor top spillage for fuller busts• Underwire can feel firm after long wearBottom line: Great for minimizing and all-day strap comfort—just keep fit quirks in mind.

Good support. True to size. Good quality.

I purchased a bundle of two bras in size 40G: one in cream and the other in black. At the time, I couldn’t select individual colors, and while black is my preference, I ended up with both.Fit & Sizing:-The cream-colored bra fit well and was more comfortable.-The black bra, despite being the same size (40G), felt noticeably tighter in the band.Hoping for a better fit, I ordered a 42DDD in black, but surprisingly, the band still felt smaller than the 40G cream.Comfort & Wearability:-A bra extender helped with the fit, but the overall material is uncomfortable.-The center wire protrudes, making it visible under clothing—especially when sitting down.Unfortunately, the company does not offer band sizes above 42, which limits options for a better fit.Support & Coverage:-On the plus side, these bras provide excellent full coverage and minimal bounce, which is better than many expensive brands I’ve tried.-However, the comfort issues outweigh the support benefits, making it hard to wear for extended periods.Overall Thoughts:While this bra offers the best support I’ve found in terms of full coverage and bounce control, the inconsistent sizing, stiff material, and uncomfortable center wire make it less than ideal. I really wish they improved the fabric and adjusted the fit consistency across colors and sizes.

Great fit, my favorite minimizing bra when wardrobe calls for one.

I bought exactly this bra at Macy's almost a year ago, in about three different colors. I was pleased with the fit, and that I found it on Amazon at a more reasonable price. At the time, this was the only bra I could find in my size. I stopped buying my bras from outlets and departments stores after I lost a lot of weight, and found out I still carry most of it around the top, and most bras with bigger cup sizes are designed for bigger women. After rereading my review and checking the price, I actually paid about the same cost I paid last year, for three bras at Macy's, when they had a buy one-get one sale, where I paid a total of about $70 for three. This price still beat what Macy's offered this year. I would have a bought a few more, but they didn't have any in my size in other colors.I am practically the bra-fitting guru at my lower-end retail job, and it's hard to tell people who discover they go around wearing the wrong cup size they won't find their correct size at a price they were hoping to pay. I would definitely recommend this brand and seller to other women.There is a chance this bra might run a little tight, but I was just shedding a half-inch off my cup size when I bought it in the same size last time around. The one I bought, this time, actually fits. If anyone has trouble with the fit, I suggest double checking your size. Your band should fit snugly across your back. A good fitting band may actually feel tight, if you're not used to it at first, but you should still be able to get a finger or two between your back and the band. Any more, and it's too big. If you can't get your fingers in, then it's too tight. The breasts should sit right in the cup, not rest on top of the underwire. The right cup size will hold your breasts in. You should be able to lay your index finger between the curve of the underside of your breast and the underwire (remember the pencil test?). IF you can't do this, then you might try remeasuring your band and or cup size.

I find the band on this model runs a bit on the small size. I read the reviews and seen this stated a few times so when I ordered, I ordered a 46 D, probably should have ordered the 46DD in the Satin Tracings and I also ordered at the same time a 44DD in a Flower Bali 180 my normal bra. Upon receiving both I tried them both on for comparison and the 46 Satin Tracing's band was marginally bigger than the Flower Bali at best if not the same size. The Cup seemed a bit small too. I have also seen reviews that the Satin Tracings Minimizer by a few people claim that it gave them a pointy look. That is why I wanted to try this bra because I like the youthful pointy/perky look and this look is starting to come back in style versus the rounder uniboob look. Well I have no idea what those people were comparing this bra to for them to say it gave them a pointy look because next to the Flower Bali 180 this Satin Tracings Minimizer is a rounded look. Maybe their rounded look may have been a bit more separated than they are used to but it is still a rounded look and not pointy.The other reason I wanted to try this bra is because of the wide padded straps and the do feel wonderful although the straps are a bit shorter. With the straps being short the band across my back wants to ride up a bit and that also causes me to feel the underwire under my arms. I noticed that I have these at the end where on my other bra I have about an inch to play with. Also when you get into the smaller sizes in the Satin Tracings you can actually get some other colors than just White and Beige. But unfortunately in the 46 band size it is just White.All in all this is a good supportive bra with an unlined cup, the material is not as thin as the Flower Bali. If you do like the retro pointy look don't expect much of it with this bra but there is a decent lift and separation but I feel it comes closer to the rounded UNIBOOB look than it does to the perky/pointy look.

Le produit est conforme à mes attentes mais j'ai du régler 12 euros de frais de douane pour récupérer mon colis.. Ça n'était pas précisé sur l'annonce..

Un peu cartonné

This make never fails to deliver on fit and quality . It definitely reduces your bust size and gives your bust definition.

Buena calidad pero me quedo muy grande

This minimiser bra is great, the wide straps make it very comfortable to wear. It gives great support and uplift, I will be ordering more in other colours. It's so rare to find a well made, well fitting comfortable bra
