    28E

    Didn't fit

    The band is fairly stretchy (stretches from 22 to 28 inches), so my fit comes up less supportive than I want for a running sports bra, however I have a 25" under-bust. The band has four columns of hooks and a Velcro portion.

    In my size range, the cup size might run a little big. I would order your normal cup size plus a cup size down to see if it compresses better. I hear that other size ranges may run small instead. The cup fabric is very soft cotton, somewhat thin and stretchy, and lightly compresses and encapsulates. The high cup height is great for 'tall' breasts.

    Overall the bra is very comfortable and I'll save it for lighter exercises and home wear but not for running. My 28E - Panache Sport » Non Wired Sports Bra (7341) is another non-wired sports bra that gives me better support running because the cups are firm and so resist movement better, the band is tighter and firmer, and the shoulder straps hook together in the back, adding stability.

    This bra is not owned any more

      This is a perfect example of how brands don't make bras consistent across the sizing scale. I have 3 of these in a 30K and all three ran very small in the band and small in the cup.

      Thank you for this review! I’ve been looking for a running bra that comes high up on the chest and I’m adding this one to the list to try out. I recently tried some Shock Absorbers that look similar to this, but definitely down come up too high. Happy to hear it’s also comfy to wear all day long too.

      MamaPagan i remember reading other reviews of this bra that said that too! i wish there were more measurements of this model. (i say that while still neglecting to measure mine ..for now)
      braluv i'm glad it helped, yeah i bought this one pretty much because of the height! this one is not as tight in the band as shock absorbers and does not cut into my near-armpit breast tissue as much.

    • yogurt That's what makes the multiple reviews and data so helpful though! So we can see such variations within the sizing. I love that we can pull our information together like this.

      It would be wonderful to have more data to fill in the blanks and see where the shift in design occurs, wouldn't it?

      The bra really is great for the price, so I am surprised it isn't more popular.
