Edit: I originally said this bra was not molded, but it turns out that "molded" actually is the technically correct term. It is not molded in the traditional, foam cup sense that I usually think of when I hear the word; instead, it is made of a stretchy fabric that is seamless and pre-shaped like a bra cup. See comments below.

This runs HUGE for a 34DD. The cups are just about perfect for me, and I measure around 30GG. Unfortunately, though, at a stretched band length of 34 inches, the band is much too loose for me to provide adequate support for exercise. I think it could work well for someone around 34FF. The fabric is very stretchy, so if the width is right it might even work on a wide variety of sizes and levels of projection.

I put ~.9 inches for the strap width, but the strap width actually increases gradually as it reaches to the shoulders, which I think is meant to provide extra support.

If I can successfully alter the band, I might just keep this bra and not have to spend $70 on a new sports bra.
Edit: I shortened the band, and it feels great! The gore is floating a little bit at the top, so technically I guess it doesn't really "fit," but I think it's going to be good enough.

Edit May 1, 2016: I have lost a lot of weight and am now wearing 28F. I still wear this bra and prefer it over the Panache Sport by far. The gore now tacks, and even though the wires are much too wide, I don't feel them at all. This is a very forgiving, versatile bra, and I would definitely buy another in 32DDD so I don't have to alter the band as much.

  Molded does not refer to the cup material, it only means that the cups have been shaped by a molding process instead of using seams. Molded does not mean that the cups are necessarily foam or spacer material--they can also just be a single or double layer of fabric.

  Oh, interesting, I didn't know that. Guess I should remove that from the review then so I don't confuse anyone.

  No I think it's helpful because a lot of people are confused by the terminology. "Seamless" is a more usual descriptor for this type of cup so other posters could easily make the same assumption as you.
