Bali Designs Women's Flower Underwire Bra #0219

... and what it intends to do is grip your body and lift your boobs in an intense way. I feel I am somewhat of an expert on the Bali Flower Bra, which has been my go-to bra since I was in high school in the late '80s. I'm a 34DDD-36G, depending on my weight. I got my mom into the Bali Flower Bra when I first tried it, and she still wears it exclusively to this day. I've dabbled in other bras off and on, but I always go back to Bali Flower Bra. I also sleep in my bra, so that means I've worn a bra almost 24/7 for 30 years. I have strayed sometimes to try other trendy bras (VS t-shirt bras, etc) but I always go back to this one. This bra DOES ITS JOB. Straps: The straps are wide and have zero stretch, so the heavy girls won't bring this bra down. With other bras, I'm constantly hiking up the straps because I feel like everything has fallen. Not so with Bali Flower Bra. I put it on and it stays in place. Band: The band has FOUR hooks, which helps support and, for me, covers more back area so there's less back fat to creep above or below it. Cups: The cups are pointy, and while not molded, they have heavy seaming and make your boobs face forward. It's a vintage look that will make you stand out. You may or may not want that. Underwire: The underwire is no joke. Sitting here now, I feel the underwire, and like I said, I've been wearing this model since 1987 or so. It doesn't bother me, but if you want a bra you aren't aware of, Bali Flower isn't for you. I credit Bali Flower Bra for the fact that my boobs still look pretty decent for a woman in her mid-50s.

Since I had a need for one, my bras have always come from a certain popular lingerie chain. Mesmerized by their bust boosting miracle bras and fabulous looking models, I really never thought of straying. Problem was, their bras didn't fit me well, and definitely didn't provide me with the shape I desired. Their molded bras made me look saggy and lumpy, albeit bigger, but certainly not flattering. Plus, I was paying $40 to look this way, so I began to look for other options. Enter the Bali Flower Bra..... excellent support for my small bust and a more natural and feminine shape. No longer do I have one single rounded lump for a bust line, but two shapely, lifted and separated breasts! Best "perk" of this bra, a slimmer looking figure. Turns out proper support really smooths things out and emphasizes the waist line... can't argue with that!! Now, at that other bra place, I generally wear a 34A but since that was not an option, I opted for a 32B and I'm glad I did. The tighter band is actually very comfortable and the cup is absolutely perfect (for once, with a little manipulation, I actually fully fill the cups!). Now, if you're a fan of the rounded molded cups, stretchy straps and a seamless appearance, this might not be the bra for you. But if you're looking for a classic, slightly more conical look, and solid support, this bra is perfect. For those who, like me, enjoy wearing vintage clothing, look no further this is the 40s or (less severe) 50s silhouette you are looking for. Finally, the lace. It's pretty, this is a pretty bra, but should you try it on straight out of the package and determine that it's a good fit but far too itchy, wash it once or twice--- you might change your mind. Very happy to find this bra, I certainly will be buying more.

Leaving my old review below, I originally ranked this as a 2 star. At first I really didn't like this bra but now that the weather has warmed up and working outside in padded bras just means I sweat more I have been wearing this bra a lot more. And wow the support it gives over my pretty Victoria Secrets bras is just amazing and it really makes my figure look much nicer in clothes (my Lilly Pultizer sundresses fit perfectly wearing this, where my other bras the fit is nice but not like this). I do wish the straps were not so wide or that it had fewer hooks, but maybe that explains the awesome support. So now to find one with this support that I can wear with tank tops. I am really glad I held on to this as a back up bra and didn't send it back like I was so tempted to do. I even like the old fashion fit because it seriously looks so much nicer under my dresses. ***I will say that this bra is wonderfully comfortable & very supportive and that is the only reason I am keeping it for a back up bra. Cons, it is unlined (and yes this is a mistake on my part I just thought just about all bras had enough to conceal nipples under a tee shirt). If I wanted that look I would be wanting to do it in something that did not look like a bra from my Grandmother's lingerie drawer. Which is another issue, yes it separates nicely but you get that cone look that 50's sweater girls had not the modern round look and if I had any idea that my size came with a giant 4 hook back I really would have never ordered this. I understand that a full figured woman may need that but I have a 32 band size. However like I said it is comfortable, so while this will not be a pretty bra to wear out, for days I stay home it will be ok, I will not order this style again & really would not recommend this to anyone who like to feel pretty & sexy in their underware

With more hooks, this bra is supportive. Great uplift and with the bullet style, makes your clothing hang better. 4 stars, because there is a flaw in the underwire. On the right side, the wire is much too tall and pokes. The underwire in the center, sticks out and is quite visible. I have tried to correct the wire, I was not successful. Almost like this one was a second. Will keep because the support is awesome..

Well made and surprisingly comfortable. Good lift and great separation. Too many hooks!! There were five! Who has time for all that? I hate when there are four, which is common, but five! Also…this bra made my boobs look outrageous. Pointy weapons. I usually wear 40G, so had to go up band sizes to get correct cup size, so my tatas are …ample. They looked like traffic cones😂

La comodidad es lo mejor adicional que su modelo permite una mejor posición de espalda. Fue para regalo.. le encantó

Love these bras so easy to wear and well made usually buy from maces in America.

Los he utilizado por años pero me equivoque de talla y tuve que regresarlos.

Took a chance by buying this online... fits better than I thought it might without trying it on before purchasing. But, it feels like a bra I would find in a discount department store. When I first opened it, I checked the label because I was surprised it was a Bali bra. So discounted if it was the typical Bali quality, but since it’s not, I think I overpaid.

Wow..... Ordered from uae. I was not at all sure whether it would be a good fit for me or not.. When arrived I thought I ordered a huge size. But it was all about adjusting the straps and volla.. It was just excellent.. Really really best purchase and best thing in my lingerie collection. Highly recommend it for those who need full coverage and support and tired of droopy girls.. It holds it soooo well. I am Victoria secret 34DDD AND this also 34DDD was perfect fit... I ordered another one more 34DD but cup size wasn't the best like the DDD had. Go for it girls.
