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

Absolutely love this bra! I have 6 of these (2 racerbacks) and recently bought one for my mom. She was complaining that her bras were uncomfortable and I bought her one.

This is the best bra ever. I intend to get a few more. I have three at the moment. When I have to dip into my stash of Victoria's Secret bras, it is so disappointing. These Spanx bras are comfortable, give you great shape, do not dig into your back. I just cannot say enough good things about them. I am a B cup so I do not need a ton of support, so I cannot speak to that. But I am very happy, the girls are happy and look great.

I like the way the bra looks in the back with no backfat or lines but wish the straps were adjustable, as even with the V back, they're still falling down on me.

This is quite comfortable in the back. Although adjustable straps would be nice. It suffers from the all-too-common underwire versus ribs issue in the front, however. It gave me red marks right near the clasp in just a minute or two. Otherwise, it fit great - so close! I am afraid that it will have to go back...

This is the first bra by Spanx I have ever purchased. I just have two small issues. First, you can't adjust the straps and I would like to see this option added just like most bras have. Second, I'm large breasted and can't for the life of me understand why there is so much padding. If your already past a DD I would have hoped to see less padding. Now I kind of feel like I might knock someone over! Overall, I would recommend this bra to just about everyone.

I have worn Spanx Bra-llelujah for years but they do stretch out fairly quickly but as so COMFY! I like the "headlights" coverage and the lack of hardware on the back (love my Wacoal's Basic Beauty Spacer bras but sometimes the back hooks can been scratchy and the cup coverage not as discrete). So I am now between cup sizes and now that Spanx offers DD sizes and more padded straps I am very happy. I also like the redesign of the racerback style which is now the one that I will be wearing. I guess only the DDs offer the strap padding so I am lucky there. The racerback also places the straps at a better place for my squared up but narrower shoulders. I wear a 32 D/DD depending and have been known in Wacoal to go to a 34D for comfort with the hardware issues (thank goodness the cups fit well). Zappos is awesome as my now go-to lingerie store! Great reviews, great service, lots of offerings especially for those of us who are hard-to-fit. So the 32D and 34D in this style of Spanx felt like they were sliding off my shoulders, the downside of no real adjustments in this bra.

I am so glad that I saw Colleen's review, because I thought I was the only one who was experiencing a decrease in quality. I have loved these bras for three years. They used to be more expensive, and with the decrease in price has definitely become a decrease in quality. They simply do not last as long as they used to. As choline states they stretchout very quickly and the quality of the straps and bands has suffered. I would happily pay more again for better quality.

Quality well-made bra and so nice and smooth-- but seems to be designed for average height ladies. If you are tall the lack of adjustable straps will be a problem.

I loved this bra at first. Very smooth, nice support. But after a few (hand)washes, the shoulder straps stretched out, and since it's completely smooth, there is no way to tighten the straps, and it no longer provides support.

This is the most comfortable bra ever, but for the life of me I can't figure out why you wouldn't add adjustable straps. As expensive as it is - really? I too loved the bra at first but it does stretch out and you're stuck with an expensive non-fitting bra.

I bought this bra and it provided no lift at all. It was very comfortable for weekends when I didn't care about lift, but it really was not very flattering. For the price and being from Spanx, I expected more. It was just comfortable, kind of like wearing a sports bra. Eventually I just went back to the weekend sports bra and threw this one out.

First, the sizing is whacked. The 36DD gave me a definite quad-boob, while the 36D was actually too loose to provide any support. (I did not mix those up - I triple-checked, because it just made no sense.) So, if you're ordering, just get a bunch of sizes or even multiples of a size to see what fits you, then return the rest. (Thanks for the free returns, Zappos!) If you can get a good fit, the molded cups will look great under anything and will do a good job obscuring any nipplage issues. As for attractiveness - no. This is definitely a utilitarian bra. Giant molded cups with full coverage and thick straps for shoulders and back. Exactly as shown, though, so there shouldn't be any surprises there. I can't speak to longevity, as I am returning.

I'm sad to write this review as a former Spanx bra lover. I don't know what's happened to the quality. I wore Spanx for years and raved to everyone, but this latest bra stretched out quickly and is really saggy. It's not very comfortable as a result because everything feels so droopy with no support. The straps can slide too, which is annoying. I love the hosiery material and so wish that this review could be positive. Unfortunately, I wouldn't rave to anyone at this point. I gave the bra 2 stars for everything because the hosiery is soft and I like the color and padded cup. For support, 1 star.

I wasn't expecting this bra to be as padded as it is. The foam is about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick. So in my C cup size, the bra gave me unwanted additional fullness. As other reviewers have said, the shoulder straps are not adjustable and therefore tend to ride up in back. I am returning it.

This bra is comfortable but doesn't stay in place. Due to the soft back there is no way to keep it in place and nothing to hold on to. Overall comfortable but to much stretch to keep it from riding up in the back. Maybe would work for smaller cup size B or smaller. Big waste of money in my opinion.

This is my second one of these bras. I don't love it as I think it doesn't cover as well as the Natori full coverage (purchased on Zappos, of course). I do like the front closure and it helps some with the back fat. For the price there are better options. I personally think there is lots of room for improvement with the product line.

I wear a 32DD but found the band on this bra to be ridiculously big. It's too bad because it seems like it would be comfortable. I think I need a 28 E in this one which they don't make. I found it strange the that straps are not adjustable either.

This is a horrible bra and way too expensive for what it is. I've only worn it a few times and the material is shredded on the inside cup. I wash my bras in a mesh bag and I don't dry them. Victoria's Secret bras hold up way better and are less expensive. I liked the bra at first, but after a few wearings, the whole back fat thing shows because this thing rides into the wrong places. Horrible, horrible bra.

I was so excited to get this bra, but after only wearing it a couple of times it began to pill. Also, despite the fact that I have been sized multiple times, even for this specific bra, the straps were too short and made the bra rise throughout the day. I was constantly having to pull it down. Highly uncomfortable and very non-customizable. Wanted to love Spanx bras, especially for the price, but that's not the case.

Wanted to love it, expected to love it, hated it. Fabric is unpleasantly slick and slippery - straps and band both slide around. Didn't dig in anywhere, but also didn't control anything. I'm always a 36-38D, and the 36D in this bra had a too-loose band and way too small cups. The front closure hovered an inch above my breastbone. Weird cut, fit poorly at sides/underarms, wouldn't stay in place, uncomfortable, unflattering. Felt gross, looked disgusting. One of the fastest returns I've ever decided on, and zero interest in trying a different size. If you're my size and determined to try this thing, I'd recommend a 34DD. Or, you know, a different bra entirely.

I really wanted to like this bra -- it's gotten good reviews elsewhere -- however, neither the band nor the straps are adjustable, and neither worked for me. It's well made and I believe it would "do the job" if the steps could be adjusted. Unfortunately, I had to return it.

When I first tried on this bra in the store, I was so excited that I had found such a comfortable bra. And it seemed to fit so well with no tight feeling around the chest and no pulling down on my shoulders. Then...after wearing it the first day, I noticed that it kept riding up over my breasts. I thought maybe it was because one of my breasts is slightly smaller and higher on my chest after breast cancer surgery and radiation treatment. Now after reading reviews of others having the same issue, I think the fabric, albeit very comfortable, doesn't have enough "grip" to hold it into place. So disappointing, as I had high hopes to find a really comfortable bra for my situation. I'll keep looking.

First of all, probably best bra concept ever created. However....why oh why Spanx did you make this bra with straps that cannot be adjusted? What were they thinking?? Did they actually try this bra on women of all sizes and shapes before rolling it onto the market? Totally rides up in the back and then when you pull it down in the back it rides up the breasts! What a huge let down! Hopefully Spanx will create another but with adjustable straps and perhaps that just might be the perfect bra!

The overall cup size is too big. Nonadjustable straps stink. I have tried two Spanx bras and they are not good at all.
