The straps are not long enough so it pulls the back of the bra up too high (I'm only 5'4"). But I loved everything else about the bra, comfort, support etc. So I did some sewing and extended the steps on the two that I bought. I wear them all the time. But I probably wouldn't buy it again because it was a lot of work to make the straps longer.

The bra offers security and comfort whilst participating in active sports.

This bra supports well when I play volley ball and doesn't need adjustment when I move around or after I jump or dive. On thing I'd change, because of the back closure, is I'd by the smaller band size. I fall just between 34 & 36, the 36 leaves a lot of 'tag' to tuck in and it itches. I thing buying the smaller size might eliminate that issue.

I love everything about this bra except the back straps where you adjust the length. I hate the excess strap that is loose and not attached to anything. They just stick out. I struggle getting the excess to lie aligned with the rest of the strap. Many times I have to get someone to help straighten it all out. That part of the bra needs to be redesigned. I have 3 of this same style and have strap problems with all.

This is my new favorite bra to wear every day! I am 59 years old, 5' tall, carry a few extra pounds,and wear a 34H bra. I have struggled to find a bra that fits as well as supports. I have worn Walcoal bras for years because they are better than anything else I have found but still lacking in support and comfort at times.This bra fits, is comfortable, and actually supports. I only gave this bra 4 stars because the underwire comes up so far between my breasts. If you could make an everyday bra like this that is cut lower in the front, I would buy a dozen of them. I definitely recommend this bra.

Has great support, Quality material, I only wish I had known the cups are NOT PADDED. So they will show through.

I love this brand. It's always consistent no matter where you purchase. And it's hard finding a good supportive bra for the fuller figured lady that are pretty.
Thankful,

I think I'm going to like this sport bra. It has very different adjustable straps that feel good. The underwire supports well. Since I haven't actually worn it yet, I'll test it this week.

Pretty color. Great support. Very well made. Liked how straps had separate compartments to adjust.

Being a gal that has always had a big shelf, these sports bras are the best to give you a lot of uplift ( these give you the uplift of an active teenager), so it really supports even your back. I am still wearing the first one I bought about 4 years ago. It is still just like a new bra. So these will last you a long time without becoming saggy or stretched out.

Great bra but we need in bigger band sizes. I had to add an extender so it would fit around Also consider making more bras with the same straps as this one. It's much more stable for big busted girls.

I love my new bra. I gained a little weight and my normal size was too tight. Customer Service Bra Specialest suggested a new size and it fit very well.

Thought I had this bra on inside-out! The wire is not next to your skin. That allows for a very comfortable fit. Great for H cup low impact (biking, pilates). Would not recommend for running, as it doesn't lock the girls down enough to stop the bounce.

I had breast augmentation surgery & my doctor told me to buy this bra for recovery and to wear it 24/7 for the next few weeks. She mentioned that the brighter colors often go on sale, so I ended up getting the purple color. It's so much more comfy than the bras I'm used to; I love the stretchy cups & love that the underwire is on the outside! My only reason for docking one star is that the middle of the bra digs into my chest bone a bit. I have a very bony chest, though. For reference, I'm 5'7", around 120lbs and I got the 34C. My usual band size fits great.

This bra fits more like a regular bra than a sports bra. It doesn't control "bounce" quite as much as other sports bras, but it is comfortable to wear all day and looks more natural. It fits my current exercise regimen, but I would have needed more support when I was running, jumping rope, etc.

I liked this bra except I needed a better lining - I have to wear petals with it.

It is really hard to find a sports bra in 36DDD. This one is great. It is comfortable and provides lots of support. I wear it to jog and also for my toning classes at the Y. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is sometimes the flap for the strap adjustment on the back is really hard to get to lay flat. I would definitely recommend this bra.

I wear it for every day. I am a small person with more than adequate frontage. I would really like a 32 C 1/2. Alas not available. Difficult to find a 32 c. This is the closest and it's comfortable.

I love this sports bra. It is great for those of us who are well endowed as well as very comfortable!
I just wish it came in white again!

Ok. So I have spent an untold amount of money trying to fine the perfect bra! I will keep this bra. The cup material is perfect. The sizing accurate (I am 34DDD). It definitely stays in place and great for T-shirts. It even minimizes a bit which is fine by me! One small complaint ... I am petite even if I have large breasts. It rides a bit high under my arms and the middle in the front feels like it's about to touch my chin. May or may not order another but it's definitely a step forward!

36DDD and I love this for running. My only wish is that the straps were a little longer so I could wear it crossed in the back. The straps are too short and i cant get it on. Otherwise it would be perfect!

The cups on the bra fit great and I love the fabric. As others have mentioned, the band does run a little small. I think I will return it for a band a size up. The design does make you think it is made wrong side out and I even tried it on wrong side out at first. All in all, I do like it.

Compared to other sports bras, this one is good about not giving you a “uni-boob”. I feel like the cup sizes run large because the underwire pokes me in the armpit if I order my regular size. Best for low to medium impact sports.

Overall, this is a great bra. I can't believe how comfortable it is. I am finding that I am wearing it more for an every day sort of bra more than a workout bra. I found that the cups themselves are not very supportive for a high impact workout. I am a large breasted woman in my mid fifties....so the breasts are not as tight and self supportive as they used to be. If I was in my twenties or thirties, this bra may have worked for high impact. Support was a little better if I went down one cup size. Doing that really squished me in and didn't make for the most flattering fit. Band size....I measure a 32 for band size, but ordered a 34 and that fit is properly tight Also the nipple coverage is not great. It is not a shear material, but if you tend to have sensitive nipples that harden easily, they will show with this bra. I have found nipple covers that slip into a bra work great for this though. I did like the bra enough to order it in two more colors. I will own a total of four of them now. It really is an unbelievably comfortable bra.
