Women's Bali 3383 Passion for Comfort Underwire Bra (Rustic Berry Red 38C)

I HATE padding & it is hard to find a comfortable bra with support that is not padded. This one fills the bill. Have not had it very long so don't know how it holds up in the washer (I never put my bras in dryer) but it seems to be well constructed.

Really the most comfortable underwire bra ever. I had one of these at least 10 years ago. When I went to shop at storefront stores about 5 years ago all I could find were ones that had 'shaped' cups (all brands). I bought them because you have to wear something but I've felt like Brunhilda wearing them (and they are not comfortable). Now all the underwires in those bras have broken. So I finally went online to see if I could find any maker of a 'normal' bra. Voila- I found my old tried and true Bali underwire. I bought 12. Hope they last forever!

I am a large woman with large breasts. This is one of the few bras made that fit me, and it is by far the most comfortable. I have been wearing this style bra for several years and hope that it stays in production. The fabric is soft and silky and has no padding or molded cups. The wires are padded and not noticeable. One of the things I like best is that they don't rise so high on the side of the bra that they poke me under the arms, and there is no boning in the sides to poke me, either. I would recommend this bra to anyone who is large like me and does not want to be minimized. There is a minimizer model of this bra, but I appreciate that The regular model is available in my size.

These are the most comfortable bras I have found for my size, 44D. The only complaint I have is I can only buy these bras in my size in black and white. Other sizes (smaller) can choose pretty colors and prints. I wish Bali would realize the larger women also want to look pretty and wear pretty colored bras. The black and white get boring.

The fit is great. I've not had a bra this lightly lined in well over a decade. I like it. The straps stay where they are, no slipping. The band on the sides are just right. Not too wide but supportive. All around, decent support. No underwire discomfort. I like it.

I've had this style before, and they were so comfortable that I kept wearing my old ones even though my size changed (luckily, they stretched!). So I was very glad to find these. My only caveat is that they run a bit small. I usually wear 36D but had to order 38D for a proper fit.

I have worn this style for years and have always loved the comfort. It is so hard to find a bra that is not padded so I appreciate how this bra is made. It takes me awhile to find my size as my weight changes but I always come back to this one as the best. Also elastic makes me itch. Does anyone else have this problem? I started wearing an underwire for that reason.

Love this bra and I would give it a 10 -- if only it were made in cotton, as one of your old styles was. I think that one was called Cotton Craze or Cotton Crave (style #3850, I believe). But Passion for Comfort is very comfortable for me and I'm happy with my purchase.

Well designed and made bras. I ordered 4 because I liked the design of a bra I had was an older Bali of very similar design. It is the only underwire that has the wide and substantial paddling over the underwire, which makes it very comfortable and keeps it from riding up. My only complaint is the current Bali sizing. Per Bali's own instructions for measuring and sizing, I should be a 36D, which was the size of the Bali cushioned underwire I already had as well as 3 other Balis in other styles. But that underwire had always seemed a little snug in the band. I have owned dozens of 36D bras from many companies for over 40 years -- it has always been my size. So I ordered 38Ds for this order, figuring your bands just run small. But the 38" band is still snug -- I have to wear it on the first set of hooks because it is too tight on the second or third. The problem with this is that this leaves the cups a little slack on top and I get wrinkles in the upper outside area of the cups no matter how I adjust the straps. Maybe a 38C or even 40C would fit better but that would be far outside what my measurements indicate by your size charts. I'm not overweight and my breasts are still firm as they were in my 20s and 30s (I can even go bra-less around the house). And the older Bali 36Ds I have still fit well but are wearing out. So this is rather frustrating. I'm keeping the 4 bras, as they are reasonably comfortable, but I won't be able to wear them under knits because of the wrinkles which is a disappointment. I have some removable molded cup liners from other bras and may have to insert them to smooth them out for wear with more revealing tops.

Buying direct from Bali is definitely worth it for the significant discount. I went to a retail store to try on the exact bra model for sizing purposes and ordered 6 bras (all the exact same model) in the size that I tried on at the store. When they arrived, I tried one on and it fit great. So I removed the tags, washed them and put them away. As I worked my way through the rotation of the 6 I noticed they all fit significantly different. I then inspected them all side by side and they are all different lengths for the circumference around the chest. And, it isnʻt just a little different; there is actually about 1.5" difference between the longest and shortest bras - again, all of these bras are the same model and are labeled the exact same size. So, unfortunately, they have poor quality control. Since I removed tags and washed them, I donʻt think I can return them at this point.
