Leading Lady Front-Closure Crossover Molded Bra 5048 Reviews

This is the most comfortable bra I've ever owned. It's not easy to find a racerback bra without underwires. This bra gently, but firmly holds everything in place with no binding or slipping. Perfect! Cheryl from St. Paul, Minnesota

I have arthritis and the front closures are easier to put on for me. Also, the sports bra's have center straps on back, no pressure on shoulders. Submitted from TheUndies.com

No side support, straps too stretchy. I have heavy breasts & too much side fat! It's a very nice bra though, I really like the double front closure. I think it might fit better after more exercise!

I love front closure bras and this one is pretty unique and cool in it's "architecture." :) Instead of hook/loops in middle, they are on bottom, which makes the bra more comfortable. I'm a little disappointed in the material. Maybe the misunderstanding came from the descrlption of bra. I bought the bra for it's front closure but also because it said it was molded. I thought "molded" meant a sturdier material that smoothed out the cups appearance. Since I wear lightweight fabrics, a bra that is fabric only goes on to show the wrinkles in areas where I don't fill out the cups. I buy molded so the wrinkles don't show up. So if you are buying the bra for the "molded" attribute, don't buy it. Buy the bra for it's comfort and front closure. It's still a good buy and I am keeping it. Eli from Houston

I have been a DD for many years, and that is how my measurements still work out, infact some of my bras are DDD, the DD on this was too big, as was the D. I'm not sure what standard cup size they use, but it is certainly not the one everyone else uses.

I like this bra enough to buy another one. I hate underwire bra's and really wanted to banish the dreaded "uni boob"..and this bra does exactly that. The only issue I have with it is that it is hard to do up..it takes a few extra seconds, so if you want a front closer for quickness...this may not be it. I think it is worth the extra few seconds it takes..but the hooks and eyes are small. I would really really love this bra if it were made in cotton..the lace is somewhat itchy for me. rachel from new orleans

The concept was great, bra was pretty but was too small and looked horrible on me! Bummer. I had to return. I'll keep trying. Betsy from Petaluma, Ca

Very nice bra. Only issue is the fabric the hooks/eyes is sewn to is stiff and irritates my skin. Maybe after a few washings, it will be better. Fit is great and the bra is very comfortable. Wish it also came in white. I will be buying this bra again. Anna from Surrey, BC, Canada

Bra is a lot more open in the cleavage than shown in catalog, so I added a hook and eye fastener half way up the front so I can achieve more coverage. In spite of this the bra is very comfortable and especially attractive. This is the only non-wire front hook bra I could find that will NOT crete a "uni-boob" when fastened. Four and a half stars!

I returned item because it did not hold the breast up enough and not good control from the straps. pam

The bra is very pretty and the racer back is an awesome feature. I had trouble opening and closing the front because I couldn't see the hooks well enough. So what I do is hook it all the way it should be and slip it over my head like I would a t-shirt. Sounds weird I know but hey whatever it takes to be comfortable. Carolyn from Dallas, Texas, USA

This would be the perfect bra if indeed it were "molded" as the descrlption says. However, it has everything else I was looking for which is hard to find in one bra - quick and easy to put on, good for low cut tops, and no slipping straps. Wish it came in more colors. Lori from Zionsville, IN

It's really pretty. I expected a little more support. My husband thinks I look "saggy" in it. Louise from usa

I liked the look and the fabric of this bra, but the sharp edges of the front closure scrapes the skin and is very uncomfortable. Lisa from Washington State USA

This bra feels and looks so natural, like you're not even wearing a bra, yet it holds you a little firm. The fabric is beautiful. I would like to have had the closures a little more vertical than horizontal, but this bra is perfect for a low cut top, especially if the material of the top is soft. Dorothy from Atlanta, Georgia

I need a 'molded' bra and the item I received was not. I had washed it before I put it on, so could not return it. The racer back is extremely comfortable and will be what I get in the future to avoid fighting with shoulder straps, but this bra is useless to me. Mary from Silver Lake, WI, USA

The fit was good however the front fasteners are very uncomfortable. They feel like sand paper on my skin. Debbie from crestwood ky

The bra is nice looking, and easy to close in front, but gives me no shape or uplift (and I am only a B cup) I ordered 2 , but will return the other. Phyllis from albany, ny

When I read the description, I saw "molded". Where is the molded part! I usually like an underwire bra because I am quiet top heavy but since it said molded I thought I could get away with none. I like the look and feel but no support whatsoever!! Tara from Lufkin, TX, USA

I ended up returning the size, as it was too big and ordering one size down. I've worn the bra twice and it's the most uncomfortable bra I've every had. It's one of the prettiest,but pretty doesn't count when it' hurts to wear it. Sandy from Mims, FL USA

I really like this bra, I like that the front closure is hooked (like the back of other bras) and not a slide together button thing. The only complaint I have is that the band is a little wide and rough (where the hook area is). I have a high rib cage and it kind of rubs my skin from the bottom area of the closure. Otherwise I think this bra is great. DeAnna from Eden Prairie, MN, USA

A totally lovely, feminine bra. The closures irritate me though. It's so pretty I put up with it. Stef from Los Angeles

This bra is best for wearing low cuts blouses or dresses. It is also very comfortable. It does not provide the best support. Gina from Salem

I purchased this bra for my mother. It looked like it would be great for her. She likes to wear front closing bras with just one plastic fastener in the front. It is very difficult to find this style. I thought this bra would be easy for her to snap. Most front closing bras have about 5 hooks in the front and this one has only a few. Any bra with a hook and eye is difficult for her to put on. She can not see the hook and eye. Lining up the proper hook with the eye is difficult for her. You carry the older style bra that has one larger fastener in the front? Anna Marie Anna Marie from Hinsdale/NH/USA
