Customer Reviews Spanx Bra-llelujah!® Underwire Contour Bra 216

First of all, the girls are singing hallelujah for the Bra-llelujah. The comfort is unsurpassed. The look under the clothing is wonderful. Now for the minor faults: The straps can tend to be a tad short, causing the overall fit to ride up in the back. Rather than return the product for a smaller band size to prevent the ride up (in addition the straps would then be incrementally shorter to account for the smaller size). I took in the band in the center of the back, essentially downsizing the band width a full size while keeping the strap length the same. The ride up problem is solved. However, this is not at all a problem with the two racer-backs I purchased. Now for the look: It is extremely utilitarian...egh. For the price, a few more colors would be nice. Other than those minor flaws, I have not worn any other bras since being introduced to the Spanx line. I am a convert for life.

The band stretched so much during wear that I started falling out the bottom. Note that it felt great at first, so it's now too late to return it. No amount of readjusting helped. I was stuck spending 11 hours on international flights with the underwire in all the wrong places. The Spanx sizing chart is no help. Given other reviews that mentioned stretching, I went with the smaller of the two band sizes that I fall between. This is unfortunate as the fabric is great and it ought to be a wonderful bra, but it's not.

It's fairly comfortable, but I think the no adjustable straps aren't the best design. Rides up in the back as the straps seem a little short. Maybe I have the wrong size?

I love the style and comfort of this bra, but am flummoxed by the inability to lengthen the straps. This makes the bra ride up, and not offer full support. Same issue with the front closure - chest width can't be adjusted.

It does help reduce back fat but the straps are not adjustable and rides up in the back and on the sides. Not worth the money.

Comfy bra, but not for A-cups. Without adjustable straps, and, ahem, not much to keep the cups in place, this bra rides up. Had to return.

This is seriously one of the best bras I've ever owned. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's super comfortable and incredibly flattering.

This bra provides total comfort and a great fit with no falling straps! I am planning on purchasing more.

So amazing! I have both nude and black to make sure I can wear it everyday. I will never go back to Victoria Secret bras again. This bra in particular is amazing. I think the best bra is the one that you will not even notice wearing when you have it on! Its comfortable and supporting, no lines is right!

I have never worn a more comfortable bra. My size is a 30 C/D or 32 B/C, depending on the brand. The 32C fits perfectly. I'd say that Spanx runs small, so order a cup size up. The band doesn't ride up on me. Even though I have a short torso, the straps stay in place. As promised, this bra doesn't squeeze back fat or create ripples. It gives me a great shape and keeps everything in place. The only thing keeping me from buying 5 more is the price. As a cheaper alternative when I don't need complete back fat elimination, I wear Maidenform's The Dream T-Shirt Bra in a 32C. It's super comfortable too. The design has the same smoothing effect on the back with traditional adjustable straps. However, I'd choose Spanx any day.

Love it. This is my second one. I did have to go down one size because the cups were too large in my normal size but I now have a perfect fit and less back fat!

Most comfortable bra I have ever owned. I'm an A/B cup depending on manufacturer. I bought the B cup in this bra and it fit well. Of course, I was confident when ordering from Zappos, thanks to their excellent customer service! I have not had problems with the bra riding up, and the straps stay put on my shoulders, which is a plus! My shoulder straps on other bras almost always slip. I now have three of these, and they are all I ever wear.

This bra truly eliminates back fat lines, and the shoulder straps stay in place.

My favorite bra ever, even feel like sleeping in it. Didn't even know it was on. Very comfortable.

Perfect! Finally! Fit is amazing, comfort outstanding! I played around with sizes and landed on the perfect one! Great underwire with front closure, no pinching or digging and the straps are not adjustable and although that may not seem like a good ides the end result is the fit is perfect. Typical Spanx quality material- washes on gentle cycle and air dries like a breeze!

Best bra ever! Love this bra. Need it in more colors. Comfortable, supportive, no back bulges, smooth fit front and back. The perfect bra.

Definitely needs adjustable straps, especially for us petite women. Otherwise, great bra!

This bra fits nicely and does what it says. I like how it looks smooth, but on me, the straps slip just a little and sometimes the back rides up. I am a 36B and ordered that size. Not sure if I'd buy another but I like that I have it in my drawer as an option.

Really comfy bra and pretty good support for being so comfy. The strap in back rides up on me a little bit sometimes which is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. This is my everyday bra! 5 star comfort. If you are in between sizes at all, order down. I think I might be a 34C in this bra instead of 36C which is my normal size.

The spanx Bra-llelujah gives the support while be the most comfortable bra I have ever worn.

In my opinion this bra does not live up to the hype. Very expensive and the expected high level of comfort. Not so much. Save your money on this one.

This bra has no adjustment in the straps or in the band and it lifts up in a way that is completely strange, way, way too high. Unfortunately this is going back.

The straps and back of this bra are really comfortable. The molded cups, however, have some issues. They're really stiff, almost hard, like Brunhilda's breast plate in a Viking opera. I have problems with the cups when I have to reach up to a high shelf or down to the floor. The shift out of place, even though the bra actually fits. I wouldn't spend this much on this bra again. There are comfy bras out there with better cups.

I just got this bra and love love it! I am just 5'2" but size 34-DD. I could use a 34-DDD but it's not available. So comfy and improves my shape in the back. Straps are great and stay in place all the time! Straps might not work for a tall lady they are great for me.

This bra is the most comfortable I have ever worn! I tried this bra on in a store in all configurations and sizes to figure out what fits and feels the best and I think I got it dialed in. Go down 1 size in the band. Bras ride up in the back if the band is too big, not if the straps are too tight! (I work with a former bra fitter who explained it all to me.) I wear a 34D and I tried the 32D and it fits perfect. I spend quite a bit of time looking for comfortable bras. I used to wear a Body by Victoria IPEX underwire bra but they stopped making it so I was looking for a good replacement. Normally, underwire drives me crazy but being a C/D cup it is really hard to find support without it so I ended up wearing sports bras most of the time. Not super great for creating a good shape under a tee shirt. My only complaint to Spanx is I wish they made the underwire version in a D cup. I like that bra also and could wear it since the cups are molded but the C cup is too small.
