So glad I tried it.
I’ve noticed throughout my bra search in this past year that I often have to dip into “plus size” bra lines, despite being full figured rather than plus size. The difference is that I’m tiny around the ribs but larger in the chest. A lot of plus size bras are larger around the ribs, which doesn’t help me. :/ But this one was sized correctly for me; I'm generally a 36DDD in "normal" bras, though I wanted to order this one in a 38DD (I had read the band ran small), and it was available! Yaaay. :) And even though it was only available in white, beige, or light blue (I tend to purchase all my bras in black, to match my panties), I was super intrigued. The reviews were glowing, and I’m somewhat enamoured of the front clasp comfort bra style. Also, I’d rather try - and be disappointed - than never try and always wonder!The 38DD fit me fairly perfectly. This bra doesn’t have an enormous amount of lift, but it has enough for me (a lot of reviewers were actually surprised at how much), and it’s actually quite supportive and comfortable. The back panel can take a little getting used to, as well as where your straps will meet your collarbones, but if you give it enough time, you won't even notice it. (Or at least, I didn't, although it took about a day.)One of the things I love about this bra is the racer back; racer back bras make me so happy as they provide more stability and lift for larger chests than their plain old, boring, over-the-shoulder counterparts. Plus, they’re just more comfy. I definitely recommend this bra. It’s one of the few comfort bras I have found in my search that work the way they are supposed to, and it's worth it, especially for the price.

Excellent compromise
I can talk myself into putting on a bra now. I live with severe chronic pain. Wearing a bra all day is just not worth it, even if I'm quite busty. But it's not always very flattering to go without as a 40+ large chested woman. I refuse to wear back closure bras because the discomfort in getting them on and off pretty much wipes me out so I'm not going out anymore anyway. I have tried several bras and only Glamourise has come through for me so far. I can get a bra that fits my size AND has front closure. This is easy enough to put on that it doesn't require special attention or planning.No, this isn't the hottest bra creating the most socially ideal sillhouette. I do have a Glamourise underwire bra (front close, of course) that does that for me when I'm feeling fancy. Because of my pain issues I only wear it for a few hours at a time, but I'm sure it would be great for most people.I went for a long time just skipping a bra, and I still do pretty often, especially if I'm not going out. This bra offers me an in-between choice, though -- Keeps the boobs lifted an organized and stays smooth under a tee-shirt. Yeah, some tissue spends more time around my armpits than I wish, but that's what you get when you don't want to lassoo it all and buckle it in place.Overall, this serves the very purpose I needed it to serve an I'm delighted!If you're loooking for a structured piece of lingerie, this isn't the piece for you. If you're looking to organize the boobs, though, this is perfect.

Comfy
I have difficulty finding bras that fit due to being well endowed. I was on the hunt for a bra without underwires and this is awesome, comfortable and I plan to order another in a different color.

Lazy day bra
You know when you don't feel like wearing a bra, but it would frighten people if you didn't or you could quite possibly get arrested for indecent exposure? This is the bra for you. I wouldn't recommend it on cold days unless you have a good thick sweater. But this is perfect for anyone above a double D to wear at home, the movies, long car or pane trips; or days that you want to read on your porch in your pajamas, even if the neighbors can see you.

WILL NOT FIT PLUS SIZE BRA WEARERS, UNLESS THEY HAVE NO SHOULDERS.
This is a ridicules bra to sell to the american market. I wear a 34G/H, consistently, over many different brands. These bras that are produced in China a produced for women that have no shoulders. The measure of the connection to the cup from the beginning of wear a strap would start, and end for a typical american/U.K. bra is about 12”. The measure of the strap insertion point, (about where a strap would begin, and end on this bra is 9”. I couldn’t even pull the strap over my shoulder. There is NO give at all. It is a miserable fit, and I do not recommend it for a plus size person, unless you have absolutely no shoulders. Now, the ridicules effor to return these; which may be why I stop ordering from Amazon any more.

Comfortable and Well Made
I have purchased two of these bras in very different sizes (40DD/F on 5/4/2016 & 38B/C/D on 9/23/2017). Being a plus-sized gal, I prefer bras that close in the front.Initially I purchased a 40DD/F, since I normally wore a 40DD. It fit, though it was somewhat large. After all, it was supposed to fit up to an F cup size. The bra is very comfortable and I wear a lot of razor back dresses, so I wore it and washed it often often. Over time, the material breaks down and it becomes less supportive, but that's to be expected. The closure hooks held up well, stayed closed, and are still snugly in the material (not falling out or becoming loose).Over the next year I'd lost a little weight and thought a newer bra in a smaller size would give me more support, and it did. In other bras, I'm wearing a 38/DD. I'm a little surprised I fit the 38/B/C/D, but I'm glad I ordered this size. After my initial purchase fitting a little big, this one might be a touch too small, but is still comfortable.This bra isn't fancy, but I do think the back is very pretty (see pics). It's lacy, which makes it breathable, but it's also sturdy and hasn't ripped or snagged. I wish the sides were a little wider, as being a bigger lady, fat tends to roll out, especially on an article of clothing that's intended to be constricting. This bra does an okay job with that, but wider sides would help keep more in. The wide straps help distribute weight, making everything more comfortable. If this bra stays on the market, I will continue to order more as needed.

MY FAVOURITE BRA
This is the second one I've purchased, as I love them so much. I would recommend going up a size or two with the band width size, because if you've got extra wobbly bits, it will feel very snug. The cup size could be bigger for me but they never have the size I need. However, this bra fits the 'girls' in snuggly and comfortably and helps ease underboob soreness, particularly hot weather. It's great for gardening, walking, etc. I have arthritis in both hands and I can manage the front fastening well. It's a shame the price has pretty much doubled (as of 1/6/20) otherwise I'd purchase another. I'd love the bluey colour one but they only have it in one size! Such a shame. This bra won't be for everyone but its pretty perfect for me.

so far, so good
Only had this a couple of days so only time will tell how much wear and tear it can take. Will update at some future date.In the meantime - first time on it was a bit fiddly, getting it fastened - but has got better. I have costochondritis and my many years of wearing underwired bras look like they could be over. LOT of pain from the wires - so this one is very much pain free.Have taken a * off purely because I won't be able to wear this in warm weather. Like very many sports bra designs this bra pushes your cleavage together in the middle - meaning things are going to get hot and sticky.But, for now, MUCHO relief.

glamorise bra
The Glamorise soft cup front fastening bra. I bought this bra mainly for the front fastening feature. I've had this brand of bra many times in the past and I know that their sizing is consistant. However, this bra is on the small side for it's sizing. It was advertised as being an everyday bra or for support during sleep. I've found it to not give the right support or shaping as an everyday bra, if anything it has more of a minimising effect, i.e quite restricting. As for sleeping in it, well, it's ok if you want to be held rigidly all the time! One good feature is that it's shaping at the back helps to smooth over the bulges that one sometimes gets at the underarm point as this bra fits quite high up under the arms, especially at the back. Disappointing for Glamorise though as their bras are usually excellent for the fuller figure.

very comfortable product - terrible condition!!!!
The product is as expected, comfortable and just what I wanted. However, the condition that the product arrived in was extremely disappointing particularly given the price-point of over £20.00 for one item.Firstly my order arrived in just the exterior Amazon-branded grey returns-able bag, so not in a clean clear individual packaging which had then been placed inside the exterior Amazon bag.Secondly, the main-body material is bobbled and has many 'pulled threads, so looks like it has already been previously worn and that not a nice thought given the intimate nature of underwear.Thirdly the item arrived with order acknowledgement slip or returns paperwork.I but many products through Amazon and am rarely disappointed by service or quality, and indeed rarely have to return items. I would prefer to resolve the issue with the seller via an exchange but there are no contact details on the online order and am unsure as to how I return an item with no paperwork.

I initially said that I was not happy with this product as the elastic was very very tight. However, when my son arrived he treated them like those spring muscle building gadgets, which did the trick, and after a bit of twisting and turning I finally got one on. And it was surprisingly comfortable. I think that after a few washes the bra will become quite soft and manageable. It should perhaps be mentioned that these are actually of a 'minimiser' design, which actually was a welcome surprise. The reduced star is because the picture on the site makes the bra appear white, which would have been preferable to the blue that they actually are.
