Didn't fit
I'm positive this bra is THE bra whenever you get it in your correct size. I've tried both this one and the Panache one without any real success. I'm a shorty( 5" feet tall/152 cm tall) so the straps are far too long on the Panache one, a bit better when clipped to racerback but still too long. The Freya one is a little better for me, a little shorter straps. It's easier to alter these if needed than the Panache bra's straps, since they're already shorter. That's why I'm aiming to try this one in another size instead of trying the Panache in another size. I have a hunch Freya will be an averall better fit for me.
The awesome thing about this bra is the fact that it's actually FULLY intended for sports. No flimsy shitty materials that won't actually work, just so that you can look extra pretty in the gym. Of course I'd like a stunning sports bra, but let's face it, performance comes first in a sports bra and the bra market hasn't really come that far yet( extremely supportive + fab look). I'm a little apprehensive putting this on in the locker room, it's not exactly as cute as the tops my classmates are using. Pink crop tops that look really neat... Oh how I wish I could have this Freya bra with just some alterations x) Vertical lines that would banish the pointy shape and make it super-round and extra supportive and a flimsy little overlay that wicks away sweat and makes the bra appear seamless. I can't be the only one with that smart little idea! To put a thin overlay over so the seams will "dissapear". I wish I could be the designer haha. This bra would be THE bra if my wishes would come true x)
Oh well... Back to reality. This bra is clearly too small for me. I'll have to try a bigger size to determine whether or not it'll work for me, but I think it will! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
It has a very firm band, which is positive for me! Many of the 28-band bras I buy are too big for me anyway. I think I'm a 26" maybe. Idk.
