Nice sports bra for my omega shaped breasts, but it fits a lot smaller than the Lacey Floral bra I recently discovered and love. It fits better with an extender when I wear upside-down, telling me I should go up one band size. The top of the gore does not sit flat on me, so I might also try going up one cup size along with up one band. The cups are also strained, so that extra room might really help. I'm not sure if this bra will be good for high impact as the cups seem very independent, but I'm looking for another great sports bra that's not the Panache Wired Sports... that one has too-wide straps that I deal with but it's still not comfortable for longer than a couple hours.

This bra is not owned any more

This review is about the original Inspire Sports bra, which was taken out of production due to issues with the straps.

The bra doesn't appear to go high enough to encase all the breast tissue. I tried a larger cup size (34HH) but it looked the same on the top but with extra space at the bottom of the cup. The gore on the bra has never appeared as if it lies flat, but this doesn't seem to be a problem. The bra prevents movement quite effectively for the breast tissue it encases. It is the best sports bra I have ever tried in this regard. The ... top bit of my breast still bounces, though.

The sliders on the bra straps don't hold in place well, which is the reason this bra was removed from the market. (There is supposed to be a new release with the problem solved.)

I find the band a bit looser than other Bravissimo bras like the Fleur and Contour strapless, but similar to the Satine and Rococo Charm. This is my standard size in most bras.

Note: I am writing this review in January, 2013, several months after the bra was purchased. I have given my initial review and fitting comments based on my notes about the fit of the bra near the time of purchase. Since the bra was purchased, my breasts have grown and the bra no longer fits properly. Below are my comments on the current state of the bra:

The bra still fits on the loosest hook. I wear it about once a week.
