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.
I had been trying mostly size 6 and 8 and ... finding the 6s too hard to put on and smashing my breasts and showing a fair bit of side boob and spilling out the top. The 8 was better.
For the lower cost this is a possibility. It *is* a compromise with the fit a little bit, but it’s definitely better than some of the stuff I have tried on over the last few weeks. The band is a little bit looser than I would like but it’s better than the 6 in the cups, and although it is going to relax a little bit with wear, I don’t think the 6 is going to loosen up enough in the cups and I still have a bit of side boob in it (and like I said, I had trouble getting the 6s over my head and bust).
I have not decided yet if any of the lululemon sports bras are ultimately winners and whether or not the extra $20 is worth it for the others that are slightly better fits than this. I do like the straps and it is comfortable so it’s a possible option for the immediate future.
