I’m going to Pilates and I would like something a bit better than the aerie longline bralette I have. It’s stretchy and comfortable but pretty lacklustre for support, and while Pilates is pretty light impact, I think I can do better.

I usually wear a 30F/FF depending on the brand (more the 30FF these days). My snug under bust is 28-29” (varies sometimes with inflammation), my standing over bust is 37-38”, and my leaning is 39-40”. I have soft tissue which is problematic as you will see with some of the other bras I will be posting about.

This is one of the two styles that are offered in bra sizes up to E cups that I tried, though I didn’t record the other one and I think the third one is a zip one or a style that is not really something I have interest in. I’m not sure if there are any others, but of the bra sized offerings, this one was my favourite. I think I tried the Fine form as well, but the back is weird.

I tried this bra in 3 sizes, two of which I have here because the third (32DD) was tried on a week ago before I had thought of taking pictures. The best fit from last week was the 34DD, as the 32DD was a bit small in the cup. At the time, I thought it was only up to DD. Once I was home and checked out the site more, I saw it was up to E, so that’s why I went back yesterday to try more on.

The fit of the Run Times bra is by far the best of all in terms of cup size and band snugness. That said it *is* a little more than what I need for the Pilates sessions. I need comfort *and* some level of support. I’m not jumping up and down or doing anything high impact or sweaty or anything.

The bra has thick straps that I think are padded and can be made racer back with a j hook. I think the person last week told me that they also detach to criss
cross. I’m not sure if it’s true. The cups are wireless and not really encapsulation. It’s more of a compression style. Unlike the Fine Form, it’s got a 3x3 hook and eye closure.

As I mentioned in a previous review, I have been doing a lot of mat and reformer work on my back so I need the comfort most there. And this is really where the difference between the 34DD and this 32E come into play. The 32E is by far the best technical fit, as the band is nice and snug, however, the 34DD is just that slightly looser fit on the loosest hooks that may make it better suited for my needs. I didn’t have any place to try laying down on my back to see how comfortable it is/was. I’m doubting that it is going to stretch out much so I *think* the 34DD might be my best option if I go with this style.

This bra is not owned any more
