It was a strange fit. There is no way to adjust the straps and it was a flimsy.

I am shocked that there is no way to adjust the straps - I am just baffled. Otherwise it was very comfortable. If Spanx redesignes the bra with adjustible straps, then I will jump to purchase it.

I have worn Spanx bras for years. It was a mistake to try the racerback. The straps hit so close to my neck that I couldn't wear except with a turtleneck. Half of the strap sits on the bottom of my neck rather than my shoulder so you can see it in the neckline -- I should have taken it back but didn't. Total waste of money.

Most comfortable bra - ever. I'm small, and so are the girls, at 32A. It's often hard to find a woman's bra that I don't swim in. This fit perfectly, the straps don't slide off my shoulders. However - it is not good for wearing with wide necked, boat-style tops. The straps are pretty obvious. That means I can't wear this nearly as much as I'd like.

Love this bra! It is so comfy. Since it is a Racerback, the straps come much closer to your next than a normal bra, so you can only wear it with t-shirts or other closed next shirts. I love that the straps don't fall down!

I love this bra!!! So comfortable. It does show under scoop neck t-shirts but it is perfect under everything else. For the first time in many years my bra straps don't slip off my shoulders. I only wish it came in more colors!

I absolutely love Spanx bras. I already had the Bra-llelujah regular bras, in tan and black, but when I saw the racerback I had to add to my collection! The bra prevents back-fat, it is soft on the shoulder, gives me great cleavage and never shows headlights. It is perfect, unless you want to impress someone with a fancy lace bra. I wear these under t-shirts and dresses, basically everything I wear except for work-out wear. Also, I wash by hand and air dry. I love these bras!

Great bra! I love how it leaves no lines under t-shirts and is so, so comfortable. I am a 32B and it fits perfectly. I highly recommend this bra...especially for tanks where you don't want to see your bra (for those of us oldschoolers).

Incredibly comfortable, even on very hot days, the kind where you wish you didn't have to wear a bra. It offers great support, and I like the racer back which keeps the straps from slipping down. I would definitely purchase another one. I wear this bra several days a week.

This bra fits me best and is pretty. I tried the wireless Bra-llelujah 227 front closure but the cup has a larger profile that makes it unattractive and huge. I have had Spanx bras before and love them. I wash them in a zip mesh bag to prevent over stretching in the wash machine. I prefer using delicate cycle.

This bra is awesome! It truly rids your back of unsightly lumps and bumps most bras create and is super comfortable. I love my Spanx Bra-llelujah so much that I turned around and bought another in black the next day!

Great bra!
The straps are the right width, wide enough to not dig into your skin but not so wide that you can't wear anything sleevless. The cups do push your breasts in a bit so if you're looking for a bra to lift you up and push you out this isn't it. But everything else about this bra is great and it's extremely comfortable.

Fits true to size and so comfortable... My only complaint is that the straps are too thick for most racerback tank tops and dresses... If it weren't for the thick straps this bra would be perfect!

This is officially the most comfortable bra I own (34A). Also my first Spanx product, so I am definitely open to trying more. However, as another customer noted - back fat can "appear!" In my case, maybe it's more like skin (yuck, I know), because I am probably considered slim/athletic body type. Other nit: straps get close to neck and can show with some tops. Maybe I just need to wear a different bra design with those tops anyway.

Love the comfort, but the straps feel a little too snug under the arms. Nice support and I think I actually sit and stand with better shoulder posture - racer back style. Going to order a contour next.

The bra material is very comfortable. Fit is flattering. Only drawback is that the straps fit very close to neck on front. You can't wear bra with shirt that has wider neckline.

This bra was a luxury for my girls, but they're worth it. Fairly comfortable, although after five hours they were ready for freedom. The business about smoothing out back fat isn't true, however -- it just squished it up higher and made it even more visible. Still, I'm keeping it because it's okay for now. I guess you can't find perfection for the buxom in a racerback...yet.

I have mixed feeling about this bra. The back looks pretty good and helps with the whole "back fat" situation. What I don't like is the shap of the cups. I would rather it was unlined or a more natural and friendly shape. I am 5'2 and 38C and in this bra, feel like my chest sticks out too much and looks out of proportion with my body. A sligthly more relaxed profile would have worked better for me. Still, I will wear it from time to time under more sheer garments for the help in the back.

I owe this bra a tremendous favor. It made me aware of my back fat in a way that I had not been before. It smooths out the stuff that is under the bra so well that the other fat is more obvious. If I had no extra skin in my back (I do not have that bad of back fat), then this would look good on me, but as it is I cannot wear it. It is possible I just need to size up (on the width, not the cup) to make it work, but I am too dispirited now.

I have a variety of shape wear from Spanx, and love it all. I was looking for a new day to day bra and wanted to give Spanx bras a shot. I have worked in two different inmate apparel stores and I am confident in my ability to identify a proper fit in a bra. This bra is extremely comfortable and felt like a dream when I first put it on...however, after wearing it for a short period of time the band was not holding firm enough. The material that is used on the band is very stretchy, I would recommend getting one size smaller in the band, the cup fit well.

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.

Had great hopes for this bra. However, I should have only listened to "anonymous" from Vermont as far as reviews go. This bra absolutely gave me, as she said, "back boobs". No thank you Spanx, but thank you Zappos for making shopping so easy and convenient!

Good thing Zappos has the best return policy ever. Although this bra is very comfortable and fits fairly try to size, there are a few problems. The straps are wide and will exceed the width of some narrow Racerback shirts, and the fit under the arm is higher than I'd like. They are also not able to be adjusted. This is a big problem. You may be lucky to get it snug enough to hold you like a sports bra, but mine wasn't. The straps were kind of bouncy and seemed like they'd stretch out. I had to return. It would be super comfortable if it was a perfect fit though.

I had high hopes for this but the nonadjustable straps killed it for me. I'm a 34DD/DDD. My girls don't hang low so the bra ended up on my ribcage instead of where I need it. The style itself was great and was invisible under all racerback shirts I tried it with. I'm upset at having to return this. I thought I had finally found a solution for my large bust, must wear a bra with all tanks but hate when the straps show problem. I don't think I've ever seen a bra with nonadjustable straps that wasn't a sports bra. Just odd.

This bra was just ill fitting and did the opposite of promised style effects -- instead of smoothing it actually created unsightly bulges in the back. Not cute. The other reviewers were right - the straps (nonadjustable) were too short, causing it to ride up uncomfortably in the back. Expected better from Spanx. The quest for the perfect supporting bra continues!
