And the search for the right sports bra continues...

So I got this bra despite knowing that the band was too big, in hopes that I'd just take in the back and work from there... (<-- still haven't done that because i'm feeling lazy) but anyways, the depth fits..sort of..


The bra is an encapsulation type sports bra. Unstretched it measures 28 inches and stretched it is 31 inches. I have to hook this bra on the tightest hook, and still it feels a bit slack. Unfortunately this is also, not fully adjustable, due to the comfort straps (1 inch at the front, and 0.75 at the back). But hey at least the there's the j-hook. I joke, but I'm actually serious, because it really does make a wealth of a difference. That being said, I expected fit issues, since a 32 in panache is 2 sizes up my 28. (Some bras a 30 is great, not panache).

Both the minimum and maximum cup height were recorded, this was done by hovering the cup between the knees and hanging the tape measure. This was recorded at 13 inches. The maximum cup depth was measured by stretching the cup over the knee. This was recorded at 14 inches.

The fit, of course has it's issues, but to be honest this is the closest okay fit I'm going to get. It doesn't reduce the bounce drastically...support is lost in the band, but for low-medium impact exercises I should be good.... There is a bit of overspill on my bigger side..but it's not enough for me to say it's too small.

I've realised for me I have to straddle a fine line for what overspill is okay, from what isn't...because going a size up would result in a loss of much needed support. The good thing is that, trial and error has helped me figure out, maybe not the exact location, but the general vicinity of that line.
