For reference, I am petite (5'1"), with wide set breast tissue that is slightly shallow and tuberous in that I sag and my left breast is smaller than my right and two inches higher on my chest wall. I won the genetic lottery! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":-P" />
I am a fitness professional and teach for a company that also sells athletic apparel. It's much easier to buy more sports bras than to figure out when I'm going to do laundry.
My employer doesn't keep a whole lot of 30 bands in stock and when they do, D is usually as high in the cup size ... as they go. Whenever they stock something in a 30DD, I go gangbusters. They have been stocking fewer and fewer 30 bands because they "don't sell" (quoting management). I have been the squeaky wheel for years now that "inclusive sizing" means carrying extended sizes on BOTH sides of the conventional size range.
The Fiona is now discontinued by Brooks, so I'll probably have an even harder time sourcing this bra. The replacement style doesn't even compare to the Fiona in terms of support or quality.
Compared to some of the other colors that I have, the white "shows" more in that the gore shows through from the outside. The bra is fully lined, but there are no removable cups or pads, so I also flaunt the "headlights" look against my will.
The band, straps, etc. fit well. The straps are adjustable with velcro, which makes getting out of this bra when I'm a sweaty mess so much easier (no contortionist moves to get a bra saturated with sweat over my head ftw) I've worn this bra for some very high-impact aerobic workouts, running, etc. and have not had any problems with chaffing, shoulder, or chest pain. This bra keeps me in place and there is absolutely no bounce whatsoever.
