I do really like this bra. Though I 100% ordered the wrong size! Here is my mistake, so you can learn from it: while I was ordering this LATE AT NIGHT, I accidentally confused "French size" for EU size --this is a French bra. I realized as soon as I opened the package, and read "US 40G" that I had made an error, obviously. This is about $39 usd & shipping. But I bought this at a deep discount b/c this was before Christmas (yes, I'm just getting around to reviewing it now). Because in Canada, these are more expensive! (actually, I just looked on amazon.ca and ... there's one for like $109, but it's a random size) There's also some on a store called LaRedonte.com (https://www.laredoute.com/ppdp/prod-324488758.aspx) but I actually got this from MesDessous.fr (https://www.mesdessous.fr/en/75175-zsport) in a Black Friday, or Christmas sale.
I digress! It might look like it fits, but the band is quite loose. However, it's still wearable! : ) At least, as a low impact sports bra, it's okay for me. I mean, I couldn't wear it jogging, but for the exercise bike this is A-okay! Comfortable and attractive! I like the teal colour, too. : )
Well, I never would've started wearing it if I didn't procrastinate giving it away. I thought last winter, I should definitely find a home for this bra, but I just put in a bag and forgot about it until last week - then I realized it still will work for an exercise bike, it's not like I'm doing a high-impact workout! I like how easy it is to put it on, with the zipper in the front. (albeit, this is too big for me, so maybe it's more of a challenge when the bra actually fits).
I read that they use this bra for a post-op bra for breast reductions - I could totally see that b/c this is so easy to put on, and comfortable.
Overall, I'm still happy with this bra b/c I can get it to work for sports, just not anything high impact since I accidentally ordered it too big. This could totally work for yoga, too. TBH, I don't think I would exactly fit into their size range right now. I think that getting the right size band & cup combination, I would be outside of their size range. But, if you are inside of this size range, it could maybe be considered as an alternative to Enell if you are looking specifically for front close? Pluses: overall I think it's an attractive design for a sports bra (b/c, let's face it some are ug-oh), unlike some sports bras YOU CAN ADUST THE STRAPS on this sports bra - to three different lengths. Also, I think the front close is maybe somewhat easier?? Than other types of sports bras - when you have to put on something so tight! Here is their insta https://www.instagram.com/zsportfrance/?hl=en Again, I would've liked to try the correct size (*if I didn't accidentally order the wrong size), but I realize now - since trying the 40G - they probably don't even make a cup/band combo that would fit me - I think I'm about 1/2 cup too big.
EDIT: I would follow their size chart, remember these run quite tight in the band - I should be swimming in a size 40 band, but I'm not *totally* swimming in it. EDIT2; I really like the way it looks, maybe other people don't, but to each their own. It reminds me of a Star Trek uniform? it's like sleek and modern.
