This is the first one of these Like A Cloud Longline D/DD sports bras that I got recently. I got a pair of leggings to match as well, however, I will say that I got a size 2 in the align pocket leggings and really need a 4. This one was the last pair anywhere and was sale priced…so I grabbed them with the hope that I can stretch the waistband out some, as it is a little bit too compressive and digs in. You can see the digging in and such in the pictures. Not a huge deal though as it is invisible under a loose shirt ... that is long enough to cover the midsection.

As for the bra fit, it fits pretty much the same as the 4 - Lululemon » Like A Cloud Longline D/dd so be sure to check the details there….but the overall feeling is that it is a good fit. I prefer the twin thin split straps vs the outer strap being thicker…I’m not sure if it really helps the support, but under most tops, the inner thinner strap is the visible one so it still looks dainty and pretty much like the B/C version underneath. I’ve included a few pictures. I appreciate having more boob room without sacrificing the band too much, and I anticipate more of these in other colours in my future.

Color: Velvet Dust

I honestly purchased this not expecting much. I was actually ready to be disappointed and send it back even before receiving it. But I was completely wrong. This has to be the most comfortable sports top I have ever put on my body, hands down! The front consists of a lightweight foam like fabric that has a boob mold to it. The outside is covered by a light, buttery soft fabric. The back band is the same buttery soft fabric consisting of two layers. It did come with a long Lululemon tag, but it was easily removed and discarded. The straps consist of two sets. The ... outer strap is a thicker strap that feels to be a covered elastic. The skinny strap feels to be a thin covered elastic. There are no adjusters or hardware on this top. The straps feel heavenly! They don’t dig or pinch. The under band and does lift away from my chest under my boobs ever so slightly, but not enough for me to feel as if I’m going to fall out. Can I go for a jog in this? Absolutely not. It’s definitely a lightweight sports top. I personally wear this as a leisure around the house or when I’m lifting weights. You can honestly sleep in this if you wanted to. The foam is thick enough that I don’t get much nipple show through and it gives me a great shape.
I will definitely be purchasing more.

See my review for the 4 - Lululemon » Like A Cloud Longline D/dd in the delicate mint for the details. This was the other sale colour. If I hadn’t decided to get the leggings that were also on sale, I would have gotten both. I opted for the mint as I already have a few pink sports bras…one is more muted and pale, and the other one is a dusty rose colour, where this one is definitely a brighter pink, but I had nothing like that mint one. I might pick something else up in the pink blossom though, because it’s a great match with the leggings.

Only adding this for the colour. Like the other Lululemon pullover bras, I don’t know how to measure or accurately fit check, so pictures and reviews only.

I initially bought a 8 - Lululemon » Like A Cloud Longline bra last summer, and it was a surprise hit for me. I fully intended to buy more, even though it’s a small compromise with the size, but they recently came out with a D/DD version of this bra which is a little bit different, which I knew I had to try. Never mind I’m not a D/DD unless I have to sister size up (32DD in the tighter panache style sports bras that are quite tall), it’s still a bonus option.

So, visually, the main difference between this and the other longline is ... that one of the split straps is thicker, allegedly for extra support. I asked the sales person if this style also had roomier cups, and they said yes. Because of this, I was able to get away with a much smaller size. A size 4! I initially tried the 8, moving to a 6, and eventually the 4.

From a fit perspective, in the same way that I can wear a 6 or 8 in the regular longline, and it’s a slight compromise for the band snugness or boob room, the same thing can be said with the 4 and 6. Given that I have felt like the 8 in the original one has stretched out some since I first got it, I opted to take the smaller of the two sizes. The 6 would be a bit better for boob room and not squish me together too much to the center. If I saw a colour I like on sale and it was only a 6, I’d get it. The size chart puts the 4 with 30-32 bands and the 6 is 32-34 bands. My snug under bust is currently 27-28” but I generally prefer the fit of tts or snug 30 bands. I’m somewhere in the 28F/FF or 30E/F sizing so you can see how I’m kind of in the middle of the 4 and 6. I’m going to see how the 2 size 4s fit, and I might grab a 6 for comparison in another colour and see how both sizes fit over time with washing and wearing.

As I mentioned in my other review, the original version is definitely daintier, having 2 thin straps, but underneath a shirt, only the thinner inner strap is the one that will likely be the one that is visible, and as I primarily wear shirts with my sports bras as I mentioned in my other review, this is certainly still ok. I definitely do like this style. The pillowy molded foam cups are soft and smooth, the longline adds some support, and it’s not a super high coverage bra, but high enough to not spill over and put the boobs on display. I already have 2 of these (this one being the newest one as I got it on sale last week), and I have other colours that I am interested in.

It’s maybe not perfect for someone too much bigger than me, but perhaps firmer tissue might be better if you have to size up. Compared with the Free To Be Elevated, which is supposed to be DD/E, this is less compressive and a lower support option. Since I wear my Like a Cloud bras for Pilates and lounging, this level of support is great. I’m comfortable and still supported enough. I’m not sure if I would try running in this version unless I sized down to a 2 for more compression, but I would honestly just pick a more suitable style if I needed to.

I’m happy to see them extending the line some, although as we all know, the alphabet goes past D. Lol. It’s a start though. I’m almost sure they have been feeling pressure from Athleta which offers a D/DD version for most of their sports bras, and became available in Canada recently as stronger competition.

I’ve reviewed this bra in a few other colours in a size 4. This fit is about the same in appearance, only a little more relaxed. I’m just testing the larger size for the fit, and I think I might prefer it even though it’s not quite as snug of a band.
