I’ve had this bra for several months now. They have recently come out with a D/DD version which I own two of now, and thought it was worth mentioning here. As this was the first one I got, I thought I would review it here as I used it to help make my mind up with the new version sizing.
I got this at the end of the summer, because I got it for my Pilates Nerd “happiness” tank top since none of my sports bras had thin not delicate enough straps. I was close to getting an Energy bra, but I thought I would try this one ... even though it is a light support for B/C sizing. I sized up to the 8 as a result, but like a lot of Lululemon sizes, I fall somewhere in between the 6 and 8….6 for the band and 8 for the boob room.
This is a super soft material that’s got built in molded cups rather than cup pads, and it is pretty smooth and seamless under tops. This material pairs well with the Align, Instill, and Wunder Under materials. This version is the longline and features thin split straps that cross over at the back. I find that the longline is more supportive under the bust than the regular bra, with larger boobs.
Since I got it, I have noticed that the material has stretched out some. The band is still snug enough, but certainly not as snug as I would prefer. I did try the 6 and found it was a little bit more uniboob and pushing my soft tissue to the center too easily as other size 6 bras have done, but knowing how it has stretched in the 8, I might consider a 6 next time.
I love the more rounded profile that this gives me, that I don’t have to worry about pads, and the split straps are so lovely and dainty. They can be placed together or apart, and look sweet under the tank top or with a wider boatneck top. I will probably buy more, even though it’s available in the D/DD style now, as this one is a bit daintier, I think. I wear this for Pilates, so high support is not needed. Additionally, I do wear a top with all my sports bras when I go to my lessons. It’s an open space and prefer to be a bit more modest for anyone else in the space. My instructor is also more covered up, so I use that as a guideline.
The only real gripe I have is the cost. I’m not sure what makes it $74 when the other pullover options are $54-64. Hopefully, I can get more with sale price colors (like I did for one of the D/DD versions).
