My ribcage is about 26 inches and bust perimeter 34 inches. Enell size 00 is recommended for ribcage 27-29 and bust 32-35. So technically size 00 would be good for me. First time I tried the bra on I thought it is totally unwearable. It was painfully tight for my ribcage! The second time I tried it on, it was much better. So I decided to keep the bra and hope it will loosen up a bit more.
Straps are non-adjustable and I think they could be a bit longer for me? This will do, but a bit more room there would be ok. So if you tend to ...need longer straps, Enell might not work for you. It is a compression bra and boobs are really flattened which I don´t like. Boobs are also pushed up to my chin, at least it feels like it. A funny thing is that although it is so tight and really compresses things, the support is not the best I can get. My boobs do move when jumping. I get better support with Panache sports bra and Freya sports bra. But, I still decided to give this bra a chance. I do like the colour and the shiny fabric. Read more 97 more words
The color is grand!!! Glad you have great Panache and Freya bras!
I wear Enell Lite, but have tried the Enell Sport. You could call the custom fitting seamstress, Glenda Knudsen. She can modify the cup size and band size, strap length, everything. She is great. 1.800.828.7661
Bra is well made, just wasn't what I was looking for.
The band was slightly too small and ended up hurting my back while wearing. In the end I just bought a binder, which is what I was really looking for to begin with.
One of the ugliest bras I've ever seen, but by far the BEST sports bra on earth. There is 0 bounce with this baby. Mine has always fit comfortably - the straps fit great, the band is tight enough without cutting off circulation, it's easy to fasten and unfasten myself, an wears well. I've had my bra for almost 3 years (I'll admit I machine wash it) and it's just now starting to wear a bit - it's stretched a little since I first got it and it's now starting to have little stretchy strings sticking out from it. However, it still works great. I think what makes ...it so comfortable is the back -- probably the ugliest part of the bra, as the back is much wider and not a racerback like most sports bras. The fact it fits like a vest means its comfortable and supportive without all that strain on your neck like a racerback normally gives me, and much more secure support than regular straps. It would probably be a lot cuter if the back wasn't SO wide (as it shows under all my workout tops) or if the material wasn't shiny/satiny. But, I'd rather have an ugly bra with 100% support and ZERO bounce than some of those pretty, colourful racerbacks with no support. As I tell anyone who sees it; it's hideous but it is AMAZING.

This is an equally good bra as the same one in size 0, but the 00 is too small for me. I get a little bit of overflow on the sides (not awesome) and the band it too high for extreme cardiovascular exercise. The reason I bought my 0 is because I felt like I couldn't fully breath in during my long runs (definitely a problem). I still wear my 00 occasionally (swimming, light exercise), but I prefer the 0 for most activities.
With the 0 I can leave it on for awhile post-exercise, but with the 00 I try to take it off as soon as I can post-exercise. Definitely too small for me for it to be a lounging bra.
The color is grand!!! Glad you have great Panache and Freya bras!
