I think this bra is too small for me as I'm spilling out of the tops of the cups and borderline out of the bottoms too. The band is huge. I have it on the tightest hooks and I can still pull it pretty far from my body.
This bra is not owned any more

Right, so if you wanted to give one a try, I'd say order down a band and up two cups to be safe? Magda could definitely help you if you're ever in the market :)
Hey totally! I'd really appreciate that if you're willing! And the stretchy factor is okay because I think I'm more in between a 32 and 34 band right now haha. The 32 is too tight and the 34 too loose on the loosest hooks haha.
mandapandarawks Regular Krisline bras do not fit small. In fact, I'd say they fit a bit generously in my size.
Now, I have this bra in my hands (thank you DerangedDragons19 ) , so I'm comparing it to my other non-sport Krislines...
...because you girls know I love this stuff 🤓
Ok. The bra is size 75 and the band is 74cm unstretched. This is consistent with my other KLs, which at size 65, have bands measuring 64-65cm unstretched.
Compared to EM size 65 which measures 59cm unstretched, and Gorsenia 65 which measures 61cm unstretched, yes, longer.
But, consistent for Krisline.
Now, the next part, stretched length is subjective, because it's hard to know when to stop, so instead of measuring I'll say this: it's less firm. Yes. Definitely less firm. It's due to the material used for the band. It's a thin, perforated material. Double-layered, but for sure not my favorite. It feels like tank top material and will surely offer awesome breathability but it is definitely relying on the elastic for structure. The band is NOT a high point on this bra.
I love how the rest of the bra is made. Straps are thick, soft, not too wide set, great - but only half adjustable and I've got them tightened all the way. Granted, the bra is far too big for me. I like to think strap length would be scaled. The wires and gore are narrow. The cups are thick - I LOVE the cup material - and the top of the bra has a nice slight v-neck shape. The perforated band material is used between the cups and on the center of the bridge - great for sweating.
As for cup size...definitely fits small. This one feels only 2 sizes too big for me, which would give me 65HH. I wear 65G in other Krisline bras. So, mandapandarawks I agree that KL sport seems to fit about 2 cups smaller.
Would I buy one? I don't know. To start, I don't wear underwires in the gym. But, I like everything about this bra except the band material. Maybe they make with different band material? I'm gonna check the catalogue photos 😜
Here are photos of me wearing it.
Wow, those cups do run small in comparison to their label size. How odd since in my experience their regular bra cups don't.
AprilGoulding Thank you very much. Valuable insights. :)
I think this converts to 34gg/h in U.K. sizes. The band stretched out very quickly after a week or two I'm already on the third hook. Luckily there are four. Please note that the measurements reflect the band after it stretched. The first few wears it was nicely firm. The gore is another problem, I'm pretty close set and the bottom of the gore is pretty wide. I'm going to narrow it and see if that helps. I've tried a few other Kris Line bras and haven't had this issue with the gore

I love the look of this one. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
