I have had multiple bralets that I purchased at a sample sale. Overall they are comfortable, easy to wash, and reasonably priced. Just not my favorite bra.

I’ve only tried one bra and it was incredibly uncomfortable. The straps have a metal thing that seems reversed that always makes my shoulder uncomfortable.
I got two bras - one is the t-shirt wire free one and I do like how comfy it is! I also like that the bra was a good basic black color with a cute printed brand. However, after a few months, the wire clasps started to wear weird (see bleeding in photo) + the straps literally will not stay on the shoulder. It always slips and is super annoying to be fixing all the time. The other bra I got was a strapless wired one and while it was very pretty - it was ~painful~ it had crazy high wires on the sides under the arm that were SO uncomfortable.

I bought a couple of cross-back bralette's from Lively in 2018. They are still in use to this day. Super soft, super comfy, and perfect under lounge wear at home.

Not a huge fan. The sizing seems very off and runs small. I just found the two bras I tried terribly uncomfortable and not at all supportive. This being said, I haven’t found many bras that are:(

Extremely comfortable. Expensive if you buy them direct from them but I live in NY and the brand is sold in Target here for much cheaper.

i bought your #1 wireless bra and wore it 3 hours.... the absolute worst three hours. it bulged on the side and was very very uncomfortable
I have one Lively bra and after a few months the quality turned out to be bad. The synthetic fabric pills and the straps get loose. Plus points for a very helpful fit guide tho!
I purchased a few no wire bralettes and they fit comfortably and looked cute on my DDD breast’s which was a nice surprise but unfortunately they started looking shabby within only a couple months of occasional wear and being washed on delicate and being line dried.

Increase the size options and improve the quality of the material and craftsmanship.
Wanted to like Lively but the bras didn't fit me the right way.
I have generally higher rates of success with Lively bras than most of my friends. I like their lace strapless bra, stays in place! I like all their non-wired bras. I have not had good luck with their bralettes or their sports stuff. They're also more affordable than other bra brands.
Feedback
Testing bralettes on bigger busts might be helpful! Sizing online is off too, I got sized at the retail store in NYC and that size was different from what I would have ordered online.
Love the style, fit, and feel when I first purchased, but these bras did not hold up. After a few months they are starting to stretch out and there are signs of wear on the fabric. Wish the quality was slightly better because they are a great fit.

I like them for someone who doesn't like to wear a bra I choose them.
Feedback
I would like for there to be some better options for girls who really don't get cleavage easily.
Lively makes some absolutely fabulous items - my favorite bra is Lively. The bra is cotton and wireless and I love how it fits. I would get more if they made larger sizes. Also not every style, even in the same size, fits me.
Feedback
Lively needs to make every style available in larger sizes.

The fit of these bras is so great! They are my go-to for more casual days. The price point aligns with the. product very well. I recommended them to all of my gfs after I purchased!

I've only bought bralettes and underwear, but I find both to be exceedingly comfortable.
Feedback
My biggest issue is inventory; I wish I could buy some of their products, but they usually run out of stock pretty quickly in my experience.
Love this brand. The products are beautiful and the j-hook on the back is a clever way to turn this into a racerback. The colors are all basics, which is my preference. But details like lace make everything feel more luxe. I especially appreciate the "bundled" pricing.
Feedback
I haven't been able to find discounts other than the bundled pricing. Would appreciate some sort of "recycling" program for retired bras.

For their "inclusive" marketing, their size range leaves a bit to be desired. I tried out their size calculator, and I'm not in their size range- I'm a 30H (thank you r/abrathatfits). I ended up ordering a 32DDD because it was the closest and I figured I could "fudge" it with a bralette. Unfortunately, it stretched out quickly, and doesn't really do me any favors. The design of the busty bralette makes it look like I constantly have nipple showing, which is already a concern of mine with bralettes, I don't need it accentuated by the bra!
Feedback
They're not super transparent with fair labor/ethical practices, which is a bit of a bummer to me. Would love more info on this.
I have two of the Lively no-wire bras and they are just fine. They are very comfortable to wear for traveling or when you are just looking for something a bit comfy to wear. I did try one of the strapless bras and the fit was very odd. I didn't feel like it was supportive at all and really pointy. Like there was a noticeable gap between my boob and the bra :) So I returned it. The return process was really easy and smooth - so props to their Customer Service team for making that painless!
Feedback
The strapless bra could use a bit more improvement on the cup shape.
I really wanted the strapless bra to be as comfortable and sexy as they advertise—it's not. I went in store and got fitted by a pro, but it's still not nearly as comfortable as I expected, and it's not as cute under shirts as it is on models. On the positive side, the bralettes are very comfortable and cute!
Feedback
The fit of the strapless band still digs in to the body, could be softer/smoother!
