(as of Nov 16, 2024 14:53:14 UTC - Details)

One of Bali's best-selling minimizer bra styles, this Satin Tracings underwire bra is ingeniously designed to slim your bustline by as much as 1.75 inches - helping your clothes fit better while celebrating your curves. Support is enhanced by a no-poke underwire and seamed cups that provide a little extra lift. Comfort-U straps help take the stress off your shoulders while staying comfortably in place. You'll love the smooth satin and jacquard print fabrics that are oh-so-pretty even as they provide the minimizing support you want.

Title: little tight at first but once broke in fantastic
Review: So I initially thought I had bought the wrong size but continued to wear it and it finally broke in. Now it is comfortable and holds everything in its place. I like the fact that it minimizes my size and shirts fit better. I no longer have side boob which is amazing. I love it and have ordered more.

Title: Very supportive and relieves button strain on your blouses
Review: Been a loyal wearer of the Bali Satin Tracings Minimizer for years. I have an active job and the secure fit and padded straps allow for all day comfort with minimal bounce. The cup shape allows a nice silhouette and comfortable feel and really does minimize as the tag claims. I don't wear blouses without one! Some other minimizers I have tried make me feel smashed and uncomfortable. The wide back strap is something I like as I feel it takes some pressure off the straps. May not be to everyone's liking but I think if you haven't tried a wider back strap, you may realize what you have been missing. Do consult the fit guide and measure. All bra makers seem to go rogue on their measurements these days, so your size in this one may be different than other manufacturers. The color is nice a mild tawny gold. Could 100% live without the the little bow but they seem pretty standard on most bras. My only other issue is sometimes the ends of the underwire can dig a bit, but that probably says more about my posture at the end of the day rather than the bra itself. I haven't found a minimizer bra I like better and when I can get them on sale at Amazon, it makes them so much more enjoyable!

Title: Fit and comfortable are great.
Review: Fit and comfort good. The fabric elastic band pills up after a few washes.

Title: Not longer my favorite 🙁
Review: Used to be my favorite bra, very sturdy and minimizing for those of us with bigger tatas, but the manufacturing of these bras have changed in the last few years. They don't fit or hold as well, the fabric is stiff and uncomfortable, and they wear out faster. I don't know who or where these are being manufactured, but the quality has been sacrificed I'm sure for the almighty dollar. 🙁

Title: The silhouette more than makes up for the iffy material
Review: First the bad news: the fabric of this bra is unlike anything I've ever encountered on a bra. It's stiff, crinkly, and cheap-feeling, like a slightly thicker version of the stuff they make inexpensive Halloween costumes out of. The bra doesn't seem poorly or hastily put together; the seams look sturdy, there are no stray threads dangling and the hooks and eyes aren't askew, but I'd be really surprised if this is a legit Bali brand bra because the material just feels off. Also, the cups are freakishly roomy. I bought my usual size- a 34DD. But if you look at the pictures posted you'll see, in more than one instance, that that the wearer looks to have enough space to tuck in a small wad of kleenex right in front. This is very unusual for a minimizer bra because minimizing is generally accomplished by strategic smushing. This bra ends up creating a kind of conical bust shape that I thought was going to give me a horribly retro "bullet bra" look under a tight-fitting shirt.Imagine my surprise, then, when I debuted this bra under my most form-fitting cotton top to discover that, wow, I looked fabulous! Not only did I look like I'd gone down at least a cup size, but the shaping and lift was spectacular, like I'd lost weight, achieved perfect posture and de-aged 10 years all at once. And the straps! I don't know what other bra manufacturers are thinking when they put skinny little straps on minimizer bras. If we need minimizing, it naturally follows that we need thicker and more comfortable shoulder infrastructure! This bra's straps are thick, padded, and stay in place. Nothing else about this bra is super comfortable, because it's a little scratchy and has no give, but I'll trade looks and function over comfort any day.As we go into year two of no department store dressing rooms due to Covid, bra-buying continues to be dicey. My last minimizer bra purchase actually made me look even BIGGER. So stumbling upon this bra was a real windfall. I immediately bought two more just in case they stop making them.

Title: Repurchased Same Brand
Review: 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.

Review: The bra was comfortable enough and well constructed. So much for the pros. My only complaint is that the middle section in the front between the cups sticks out and you can see this if you are wearing anything except a very loose top. I have other underwire bras that lie completely flat between the cups, which is what makes for a flattering and more comfortable look. I should have returned it. I definitely won’t be ordering again.

Review: Me encantó el diseño del brassier. Siempre padecí con sostenes que me lastimaban los hombros o que no me daban soporte cuando se trataba de correr. Con estos corro 7 km y súper cómoda y sin lastimarme el busto ni los hombros. A demás me ayuda a disimular el tamaño 😅

Review: Excelente producto, la marca Bali es calidad garantizada. Me quedó perfecto, el modelo es bastante cómodo y levanta perfectamente, pone todo en su lugar y los tirantes me encantaron porque vienen acolchados de arriba. Lo volveré a pedir muy pronto.
