  1. T-shirt Realfit (6702)

    2/30

    Hasn't set fit

    I own bras in sizes UK 28DD, 28E, and 30DD, and they all FIT. I cannot find a Jockey bra that fits. The closest I came is 02/30, but the cups were too low on the sides, their wires were too short, and the band was too large. On the tightest hook the bra was slipping around my ribcage. "Volume" is certainly important in bra sizing, but, believe me, so is "shape". I have "wide roots" and breasts that need to be lifted for shaping and support. The Jockey bra's cups are front/center and they don't bring in full-on-bottom breasts. Perhaps ... I should have tried an 03 cup, but if the 30 band was already too large, why bother? This bra seems like it would be extremely comfortable if you have the shape for which it is clearly designed. Hopefully they will expand upon their designs and offer a wider range of choices. Carrying out the idea of bra sizing to actually fit a human body is a step in the right direction. It would be wonderful if other American brands get the hint!

    The bra sizing method used by Jockey is definitely better than that used by most American brands, and, in theory, it should work well. In order to find your size, you take plastic molded cups of many sizes, put them over your breasts, and decide which "volume" fits your breasts. Then you measure your chest in order to find the correct fitting band. Then you get a bra that has your specific band size with your specific cup volume size. Seems sensible, right? My sister and I wear pretty much the same bra size, but her bands are slightly longer and my cups are ... slightly bigger. Her "favorite" bra before the Jockey fitting was a 34B Lily of France Push-Up. My favorite bra before this fitting (and still is) is Panache Porcelain in 30DD. "Volumewise" my sister felt the size 01 cup fit her best. I felt the size 02 cup fit me best. We were both sized for the 30 bands. My sister put the 30 on the last clip and she was able to put it on the middle clip. We both tried sizes 01/30 and 02/30. She found 01/30 to be perfect for her: soft, comfortable, supportive, and smooth, with nice shaping. She says she doesn't feel like she's wearing a bra at all. So, for her, Jockey's sizing method is a win. I put the size 30 band on the tightest hook, and it was basically swimming on me. The size 01 volume band was too narrow, too deep, and the underwires did not emcompass my breasts. The cups sat on top of my tissue, squishing the edges of my breasts, and they were too narrow to offer support for my tissue. Even though I knew the 30 was too big, it would be workable if I got a really good cup fitting. Size 02/30 was better than 01/30, cup-wise, but, bottom line, is the cups are not shaped for my breast shape, regardless of "volume". If you have narrow roots and front projection this bra might fit like it's made just for you. If you have wide roots,wide breastbone, and need lift for projection, this bra isn't going to do much for you.

    Jockey has a new line of bras with their own totally unique sizing system. This is an 07/30, I am a UK 32FF (with my Fantasie T-shirt bras). By the new Jockey system, I am an 08/30. They don't start 08 size cups until 08/34, though. They send you "volumetric cups" to measure your breast, so an 08 is the same size cup, regardless of band size. I would estimate an 08/34 to be a UK 34-36E. The cups go up to 10, the biggest cup/smallest band being 10/34 (I guess a 34-36FF).

    I was excited about the new system, but it doesn't seem like it will ... do much good for me or many of the people who use this site. Another unique element is that the underwire is molded plastic that gets wider and flatter under the arm. It seems like it would be firm and comfortable.

    I can't really judge the fit, since it's too small, but it seems fairly firm overall. Though the material feels soft like the last Victoria Secret bra I had (before I knew my real size). It's not quite as firm-fitting as my Fantasie T-shirt bras.

    This bra is really comfortable and great for high-impact activity. It's made of several types of mesh that make it very breathable, an important asset for heavy athletics.

    This is one size too small, but the bra design allows for a surprising amount of immediate projection. This model should accommodate 34DD breast volume, but I don't recommend any more volume than 34DD and sister sizes.

    The materials are soft and comfortable. Pockets on each cup allow a cookie to shield nipples and round breast tissue. Although I did not wash this bra, online reports indicate the cookies shift. I would just add a stitch or two to hold them in place.

    The wide band is the most impressive design feature. It is soft, supportive, and stretchy. Additionally, the straps cross in the back, and the back is ... fastened with hook and eye fasteners. It is easy to wear and remove because of the fasteners.

    Although this is considered a high impact bra, it is most appropriate for low to medium impact activities. It would be a great lounging bra and excels in providing comfortable, gentle support.

    If I hadn't previously discovered Lands' End 6DDD, softcup tankinis, this bra would be a serious contender for my winter lounging bra. However, the tankinis are not only comfortable, soft, and supportive, but they also provide more warmth than this sports bra.

    No measurements because I had a limited return window.

    I should probably start off by saying that this bra is completely the wrong size for me, but that's what you get when you listen to the "experts" in stores. My true size is 30E, so I need a tighter band and a cup 1 size bigger.

    The band is very stretchy and is lined with silicone to help it stay put. I haven't worn this bra many times, and already the silicone is starting to crack in places. It probably won't affect the performance, but it's worth noting. The cups seems pretty closed on top, so I'm not sure it would work for me even it was the right size. My biggest problem with it though, is that it does nothing to lift the breasts. I tried pinning the band to my proper size to see if that would help, but it really didn't. I want a strapless bra to lift and shape my breasts, not just to cover up my nipples. If that was all I wanted, I would've just used tape.

    This just came today & I've worn it most of the afternoon. I'm definitely keeping it. One of the things that impressed me with Jockey is that they send the bra with NO TAGS, & tell you to wear it a few days, wash it, wear it again & you can still return it if you're not completely happy. It's very difficult to assess a bra's fit in a try on of a few minutes. I've bought so many others that I thought worked only to discover in a few hours of wearing that it didn't.

    On to the fit. This is extremely comfortable. ... Everything about it is soft, nothing binds, pokes, scratches or hurts. It doesn't ride up or down. The band, for me, could be a little snugger, but 30 is as low as they go. I like a snug band & on the loosest hook I was afraid that after a few hours it would stretch out & ride up, but it didn't.

    It seems supportive & gives a natural shape, not like beachballs, & not pointy.

    I don't know yet how well it washes or how it holds up. It isn't beautiful or sexy & only comes in white, black & nude. I think it's pretty, but I'm kind of a minimalist. An everyday bra that doesn't require constant adjustment & is actually comfortable is what I've been looking for, & I think I've found it.

    The 3d flex wire is...weird, but once you adjust, it is actually quite comfy. VERY stretchy though. Could almost use a band size down.

    The separation of the cups is too much, and, even though Jockey was supposedly trying to make more sizes to fit more people, I was between sizes and so could not get a proper fit. The gore does not press against my chest as it should. The worst part of this bra, though, is the plastic detailing on the straps, which I find irritating on the skin. Because of this detailing, I almost never wear this bra.

    This was purchased back in the day when I had no idea what my band size really was, so the band is way too big on anything but the tightest hook, and even then it could be tighter. But the inside of the band and the underwires are lined with silicone which helps it stay up, there's extra boning on the wings next to the cups, the cups fit me, and it's overall comfy, so this is my go-to strapless bra. Very basic, no frills, just soft microfiber overlaying a lightly padded cup.

    The straps can be clipped into two positions on the front of the bra, but I find that clipping them at the outermost position makes the straps too wide and causes the cups to collapse in toward each other at the sternum, but this might be good for someone with breasts that are very wide-set. Luckily for me, they can be clipped in the second, closer position.

    No underwire, but had to add a measurement for the underwire. Decent bra. Comfy, not supportive at all.
