This bra is good ONLY for workouts. It is very supportive (without compression) and holds things in place, but it is only comfortable for 2-3 hours at most. Around the 2 hour mark it starts to HURT. Definitely meant to be worn ONLY while working out.
It runs VERY small in the band. When I first bought it I found it very very tight. I've lost a little weight since then and now it's more comfortable. The band does stretch, but I would say it runs almost 2 sizes small.
The straps are hard to place correctly. If you try to wear them like a normal bra, they are very ... painful. The bra has a strange cut around the neck and straps, so the straps sit at a strange angle. Wear it for more than two hours, and your shoulders will ache.
It veers inward in front of the armpits. Maybe this is to allow for greater range of motion? But it means that for a large-busted woman like myself, there is some bulge of breast tissue right there. Not a big deal, but worth noting.
No, it doesn't look attractive. It's a sports bra, looks are not why I bought it. I will note, though, that it is cut so high in the front that it shows under any tshirt that is not a high crew neck. If you are intensely modest to the point of not wanting any of your bra to show, you might not like this. I don't have a problem with it though.
I use this bra for working out, but I am glad I didn't pay full price (bought it NWT on eBay) and I wouldn't buy it again. I want something more comfortable next time.
