* The wire measurement is from wire end to end, but the gore is much taller than the wire, but I didn't include that in the wire length, only the gore height.
** The straps are at the widest part 4 cm, and the narrowest part 2 cm.

The straps are half adjustable. The non adjustable straps are padded. Straps can be hooked with a J hook in the back.


The cups have a slight foam padding , the hooks are also padded on the back.

Seems like a decent quality construction, unfortunately it is a very poor fit for me.

I asked Bravissimo beforehand what size to order. They said "The Apollo sports bra does come up a little higher than the Inspire and so far the new wire shape had made the cups a little more generous in other styles. I think your regular cup size would be a good starting point in this one" so because I wear 34JJ in Allie and 34HH in Gemma, both with the newer wires, I chose the in between size 34J.

I assumed it would also be more projected, as they said it would be! It's not very projected at all. I've not tried any other sports bra so I can't compare it to them but this to me is very very shallow. I know a lot of sports bras are shallow and close to chest but they don't have to be, and since they've got the new wires on this one it sounded like they were actually making a projected sports bra. Not everyone wants to be squished in a sports bra :/ But sadly this one is a fail in that regard.

The gore doesn't tack anywhere close, there is about 2 cm floating space between gore and my chest. If i push the gore in, my breast tissue escape on the sides, because this sports bra has quite low sides. So even if it had the support of the gore, it would just make my tissue jiggle around in my armpits lol.



The band is insanely tight. It runs over 1 band size small. I had to use 2 extenders with it for it to be comfortable enough to try on.



The wire width is quite decently narrowish. I like the wires. I like the colors and look of the bra is okay, not crazy weird colors like some brands, and not terribly boring. it feels nice and soft and padded. But I hate everything about the fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is not owned any more

• Oh no sorry it did not work. Their regular sports bra does also run insanely tight in band. They should advise on the website to go up 1 band size!
