Perfect bra after months of searching for something that supports but does not dig, slip off my shoulders or ride up my back. Judy from Mililani, HI

This was my second purchase of this item. Like it! Fits well and feels good once you get it on - it's worth the trouble! Claudia from Delano, Minnesota, USA

It's OK after I get it on. Getting it on is like harnessing two mules and must be done in front of a mirror. Dorothy from Lumberton, TX, USA

I finally found a bra that fits and I especially love that the straps are placed far enough away from my neck that they don't show no matter what neckline I wear. Love the front closure. Very comfortable. Best fitting bra I have found. Sherry from Raleigh, NC

I really like this bra! It's somewhat difficult to get on, but worth the effort! It supports and is very comfortable. After reading other reviews, I realized I needed to go up a band size. I'm glad I did. I'm planning to order another. Claudia from Delano, MN

Did not fit good. Left me bulging, which I hate. Fit is too tight, cups are itchy. This is the second set of bras I've ordered, I just don't have the wherewithal to send these back. I'll just have to deal with them. Teresa from Winston-Salem, NC

The band is not a 42. I can't even get the band to meet in the front. Keeping it because I'm on a diet and will see if I can reduce enough to make it fit. There is no stretch in the band either.

Elila Response:Firm support means firm fit. If you are not used to this style of construction then I would suggest going up a size in the band and down in the cup for comfort. Terri from Iowa, La

The front closure bra was just okay for me. It did give the breast the look I was expecting. I order the front closure because of my arthritis, but will definitely stick with the back closure. Carolyn from Memphis, TN, USA

Great front hook bra, fits really well and is pretty. Only drawback is I had to pinch the hooks more closed because they unhooked every time I moved. It was an easy fix though. Nichole from Arizona

It was not true to size. The 38 band was a 36 or smaller. I could not hook it.

Elila Response: All Elila bras have a firm fit so the garments will be less stretchy than comparable garments. Lil from Chevy Chase, MD

It was truly a joy to finally find a bra that actually covered everything up to my arm pit with nothing overlapping...I really like this bra, and the fit across the back was great. I got a lot of compliments on my new bra...oddly enough people noticed that something was different! Thanks HerRoom! Jacquie from Suffolk, Va

I wear a 40 band in every other bra that I wear, but this one seems to be a little on the tight side. Angel from Salt Rock, WV, USA

This is the first bra I've found that fits my small frame. I adjust it to 8 inches of excess strap and there's still plenty of room for my arms. Wish there were more petite front closing bras in my size. Thank heaven I found this one - I love it! Susan from TN

I'm so happy I found this bra, finally one which covers my very large breasts, gives good support and with the wide straps it's easier to carry the weight. Having many problems with finding the right bra since I was 15 this one is heaven for me. It's a pity that there aren't more colors to choose for us younger girls. Great buy, thank you so much.

good support but very uncomfortable bra. It's design was more for broad shouldered woman than a heavy set woman. Extremely uncomfortable! I was looking for support but in a front closure. Most front closure bras do not support. This one does the job perfectly but to me it is uncomfortable. The straps seem too far away from each other. The band size was perfect almost too big for me but the cup size seems too small. If the straps had been a little bit closer to each other in the back this would have been a great bra! (One strap cuts into my arm in the front right where the metal adjuster sits no matter how tight or loose you make the strap.) I was disappointed but excited to find someone making a good front closure bra. Thinking about sending it back. Thanks for a great service you are doing for us! mom

The 44M, what can I say..it fits. Not many companies acknowledge the LRG breasted woman and it is very difficult to find a bra that truly does the job right. Here is an outstanding product, soft, comfortable and long lasting. I wish other companies would follow their lead, we "biggest" gals would like a variety of pretty colors and sexy fabrics to choose from too. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I am short and have shoulders that measure only 15 inches across. I haven't been able to find a bra that fit properly and did not show the straps until now. Most front hook bras are made for back support and the straps are like a racer back bra which brings them closer to the neck in the front and they show no matter what you wear unless it's a turtle neck. This bra is a front hook and the straps do not show. I have never been happier with a bra. It is very comfortable. Sherry from North Carolina

I really love the front closure bras and was thrilled when I found this one. I love that I can move the shoulder pads where I need them instead of the padded part being between my breast and collarbone. The only issue I have with it is that the seam in the lower cup isn't where it should be and the outer piece of fabric needs to be about an inch wider so that the separation is more natural. Other than that the cup fits great. Thank you Elila for making life easier for the larger woman. Nancy from Pine Bluff, AR, USA

I ordered this bra for my 83 year old mother-in-law. It is surprisingly hard to find a front hook bra in the really large sizes! This met all of her criteria-- No wires or stays, front close, sturdy but soft fabric, and pads on the straps. We both liked that the cups were shaped naturally and did not have the "torpedo" look! An excellent buy! Cheryl from Sun Prairie, WI, USA

One of the few suppliers for a front hook bra in my size. It gives me decent support and is more easier to manage than a back hook bra. Would prefer a wider back to help balance out the front when I am wearing it. Overall good bra and good fit. MYDSMIV from Greenville, NC

Good quality, but bulky and did not fit right. Front closure is very difficult for someone my size to put on...

HerRoom Response: Thank you for your comments. We have forwarded to Elila for a response.

Elila Response: Front hook garments can be challenging to get on but you can try a couple of things, you can hook it while it’s at your waist and pull it up or hook it above your chest and pull down. You can also use your arms to separate your bust in order to hook it when it’s directly in front. If you would like the same support but in a back hook, I would suggest style Elila 1305.

The sizing was off on this bra in my opinion - the cup size was much smaller than normal for my size and the band also seemed tight. It was extremely uncomfortable and very, very difficult to even get on. Total thumbs down, I'm returning it. No way would I wear this bra for more than 2 minutes.

HerRoom Response: Thank you for your feedback. The Elila brand is a very exact fit. You probably need a different (larger) size.

Elila Response: If the band is too tight, nothing is going to fit correctly and it will be too difficult to close (impossible). Elila is a classically sized brand and cannot be compared to garments that are very stretchy. We make plus size firm control garments that have a lot of structure/support/uplift. Kelly from Georgia

I was looking for a supportive front close bra, as Goddess discontinued the style I found most comfortable. I have also purchased the back close version of this bra in the past, and the fit is not the same. I really wanted to like this bra, but the cups run small (I wear a 42J), the bra is stiff even after washing, the band does not have enough give in the back, and it felt like the girls were extending from my armpits...

HerRoom Response: Thank you for your comment. We have forwarded it on to Elila.
