    I've been wearing front closure bras for over 20 years, since having multiple arm and back surgeries. I much prefer the cotton to any silk/satinish type fabric. Guess I'm ole fashion, but they have been almost impossible to find the past few years. The only ones I could find were a type of sports bra, and definitely not what I was looking for. I was thrilled to find these after a detailed "search". They are a perfect fit, and are very very comfortable. Pricing is great, too. My next order is following. Thank you again...

    It is a nice bra but doesn't have extra clips in the front closure to make it tighter there if needed and I do need that. If I got a smaller size, it would have been too small around. But I do like you company and the products you sell and will do business ocassiaonally. Best bet is shop in person, but things aren't always available in stores.

        Comments about Front Closure Breathable Cotton Bra by Instant Shaping®:

        I absolutely love the front closure--no need for contortions to put it on, just slip it on like a vest. It gives me enough support that I can use it as a sports bra for workouts, yet I also wear it for everyday.

                Good quality but these have one less hook and not as comfortable and flattering as the old style with the extra hook.

                  I have purchased bras from National in the past. I was so pleased with them that I returned and purchased these bras. I cannot begin to express my disappointment. I gave them to my teenage daughter, who, blessedly, does not need full support...

                  I bought this bra for my Aunt who resides in a nursing home and needed more bras. She can only wear cotton bras so they are very hard to find at a such a great, reasonable price.

                        Due to shoulder injury, I needed front closing bra. I've tried several, and this seems to be best of the bunch. I don't think this bra would be satisfactory for heavy breasted woman, because it probably would not have enough support. But for my small size, it is very comfortable. Don't even know I have it on. I'm hoping it will hold up through many washings. I've machined washed in hosiery bag a couple of times, and so far it seems to be wearing well.

                          I like the fact that it is all cotton and has front closure. Since I have arthritis in my shoulders I could no longer handle things that hook in the back. Thank you and please do not discontinue this product.

                            This Swedish cotton bra is well made and will wear
                            well, I believe. The cup size does not fit as well
                            as American made bras. But after I machine washed
                            it with other cottons it shrank a little and fits
                            better. I wear mine every day (bought two).

                              I've been wearing front closure bras for over 20 years, since having multiple arm and back surgeries. I much prefer the cotton to any silk/satinish type fabric. Guess I'm ole fashion, but they have been almost impossible to find the past few years. The only ones I could find were a type of sports bra, and definitely not what I was looking for. I was thrilled to find these after a detailed "search". They are a perfect fit, and are very very comfortable. Pricing is great, too. My next order is following. Thank you again...

                                I found these for my Mom - so glad to find National since she can't find anything like them in the NJ stores! She loved the fit and quality so much that she ordered 6 more for the hot NJ summers.

                                    I was looking for a bra that was as comfortable as a sports bra but not as "heavy", with straps that remained hidden under tee shirts, etc. This bra fills the bill very well. The only quibble I have is that it can be tricky to fasten because the hook I hook unhooks when I go to the next hook. Not too important because I do manage to get all four hooks hooked, eventually.

                                      I am enjoying these bras. They are comfortable and fit me well. I bought them as I was going thru radiation but I am continuing to wear them and will probably buy more. The straps do not slip off my shoulders and the style is cut so that it is not visible in most of my clothes.

                                        This is the most comfortable bra that I have ever worn. It is truly an all-seasons product, not hot in the summer nor cold in the winter.
