This is an industrial strength bra meant for serious containment. It does not fit as well as some of the other recent purchases. It does fit better than the bras recently purged which meant there are none of those to wear while gardening, cleaning, or exercising. I have never had a sports bra that has worked well enough to keep. I hate pulling a bra on and off a sweaty body so prefer bras that fasten. I can exercise in this bra with very little movement and very good support. The bra appears to be stretching out and conforming to me better with each wear. At first, there was wrinkling along the seams. That has disappeared and the bra seams are not showing under heavier t-shirts. It was a relatively inexpensive purchase compared to my other listings and a bra that I may wish to alter at a later date by lowering the center gore.

This isn't a bad bra for yard work, manual labor jobs (which I have) or for under a sweatshirt. It's a minimizer bra, so it has major grandma appeal (comfy wide straps included). My complaints: the bra stretched an obscene amount in the band, very quickly, and it is unforgiving about quad boob, since the top edge of the cups has a thick seam. It's not the most supportive bra, but it was a great transition bra to get me from my old, improperly fitting (UK)38DD to what I should be wearing a (UK)34HH.

My one big suggestion: size down in the band at LEAST 2 sizes. Towards the end, the band slipping around made for a lot of chafing.
