I've been super curious about the bras by Lululemon even though they do not have the best size range. This bra is brand new, released only a few weeks ago. It's supposed to be for cup sizes DD and E. This is only a fit review since I only tried it on.
They use single number sizes for most of their bras and the range is from 0-14. This bra goes from 2-12. I've read that a size 2 = 28-30", 4 = 30-32", 6 = 32-34”, etc. Not sure how accurate ... this is, but it seems to be similar to the measurements I got on this bra (if anything my measurements seem to be on the smaller side, the 4 measured about 29” stretched and the 6 measured 31” stretched).
This bra in both sizes (4 and 6) was a pain to put on, there are no clasps/hooks, so it has to go over your head. There’s no way to adjust the band which sucks. Size 6 was definitely too big in the band for me and was riding up the back (measurements for size 6 here: http://bra.pe/X2ke/ ). The band on size 4 was perfect for me, but the cups were too small. I felt really squished and I got some quadding at the top, not much, but enough for it to bother me.
They say on the website this is a light support bra, but it feels more like medium support to me. I wouldn’t go running in it since I have better bras, but it could work for a light jog. Side coverage is good and came up high enough for me.
The straps on the back are beautiful, but not adjustable which can be a deal breaker as well. They fit me fine, however I’m not particularly high or low set. I’ve had a few problems with straps being too short, but not by much.
I decided to return this bra because the cups felt too small and because it has no way to adjust the band to the straps with use. I think it’s pretty expensive for a mostly non-adjustable bra and I feel like Freya and Panache have better bras in this price range for my needs.

The chronic problem of most sports bra for me sized like this or s/m/l: if the band fits, the cups are too small, if the cups fit, the band is (sometimes laughably) too big!
