sports bra fit question

How do you know if the cups on a sports bra are 1 size too big, or 2 sizes too big? I have a VS sports bra (32DD), and a Chantelle sports bra (65F), and they're both too big-- most botably, there is room in the cups- at the apex, and between the cups. Also with theVS bra, the sides of the cups feel too wide.

do y'all normally size down in the cups for sports bras?

  • for me, i size up in the cup. i have to do that because i have very wide shoulders and if i don't then all my boobs won't be contained on the sides or top. but if you have narrow shoulders i could see the need to size down as well.

  • I got a VS in 32DD and 32D. The larger size was a more comfortable fit, but I had to size down for support in the cup. In Panache, I can somehow wear a 30DD/28E. Again a smidge too shallow, but the size up gapes even though the depth is more comfortable. I think it depends most on the shape of the cups so it's hard to generalize. Also my boobs are completely soft.
