Many consider it a great option for well-endowed women, especially if they’re built on the thicker side. The support and minimizer feature are also appreciated. However, opinions vary regarding the fit, comfort, build quality, and strap width.

Makes me look Slimmer
The Bali Women’s Satin Tracings Minimizer Bra is a game-changer! This bra not only offers exceptional support but also delivers on its promise to make me look up to two sizes slimmer, giving me a sleek and polished silhouette.Slimming Effect:The minimizing feature is phenomenal. It reduces my bustline noticeably, making me appear two sizes smaller without sacrificing comfort or creating an unnatural look. My clothes fit better, and I feel more confident in tailored tops and dresses.Coverage:The full-coverage design ensures a secure fit with no spillage, even for fuller busts. It creates a smooth, streamlined look under any outfit, from casual tees to more structured blouses.Comfort:Despite the underwire, this bra is incredibly comfortable. The Satin Tracings fabric is soft and luxurious, and the straps are adjustable and wide enough to prevent digging into my shoulders. It’s a bra I can comfortably wear all day.Fit and Support:The bra fits true to size and provides excellent lift and support. It shapes beautifully without flattening, which is a big plus for a minimizer. The band stays in place and doesn’t roll or pinch.Overall:The Bali Satin Tracings Minimizer Bra is a must-have for anyone looking for a slimming effect with maximum comfort and support. It’s perfect for achieving a smooth and flattering silhouette without compromising on style or comfort.

Very supportive and relieves button strain on your blouses
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!

Not the same fit as the older Bras of the same style
So…… I have always worn and liked this bra. It has always provided a lot of support and minimizing effects. The cushion shoulder straps are good for large breasts yo keep from leaving marks on the shoulders. These bras have also been comfortable. I haven’t bought this bra in quite sometime. I recently purchased 2 of these bras from Amazon and I will say that since the last time I purchased this bra many years ago from Macy’s and Haynes, Bali seemed to have changed some things. It’s still the same bra that I have always worn and liked, which I am so glad these are still in production, but something seemed to have changed. And here is what I think:#1 This bra feels very stiff with just the slightest amount of give….if that. It makes it difficult for me to get into and out of this bra.#2 The straps are short, and actually seem a little shorter that my other Bali bras like this one. This makes it even more difficult for me to get on and take off.#3 This bra almost feels almost like paper. It’s not the same soft satin like feel of my older Bali bras of the same style.#4 The sizing seems to run a little smaller, or the sizing does not seem to consistent with these Bras. I tried on 2 of the same style bras in store, where one fit and the other seemed a little smaller around the back. It was like one was a 40DDD (that fit) and the other was a 38DDD (that was too tight).Because the size I ordered from Amazon did not fit (too small), I decided to go into a Haynes store to try on this style for sizing and found that I had to go up in back size from a 38 to a 40. Cup size fit as expected (DDD).I have never worn a 40, but maybe because these bras have very little stretch, is the reason I had to go up in back size.I also found that these bras in store still felt paper like and did not have that satin feel. I’ve on, the bra was pretty comfortable. So I went on and bought (2) 40 DDD anyway.Still a little difficult to get into and out of, and maybe because they need to keep its shape to be able to provide hold and support of the Breasts. Maybe after washing they will have a little softness to them.These bras still provide the comfort, support and minimizing effects I like. Aside from wearing daily, I also wear them like sports bra while dancing. The dance styles and workouts I do are very high impact dance styles where support is necessary. I also wear a regular sports bra over this bra to give me extra support, and that does the trick to hold the heavy girls down.I will return the 2 I bought from Amazon and buy the 40DDD.Sorry for the long review, but I hope this helps someone.

Not longer my favorite 🙁
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. 🙁

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.
