An unexpected benefit of the crossback is that it gently draws my shoulders back rather than letting them round forward, so I actually sit and stand a little taller when I wear it, which my desk bound back appreciates. On top of that quiet postural help it is supportive for yoga and pilates, the v neckline is flattering, and the deep black goes under everything. comfort, support and a subtle nudge toward better posture in one bra. 36C, medium, true to size.

So many sports bras flatten a bigger chest into a shelf, but the v neckline on this gives shape and a bit of separation that is genuinely flattering, and the crossback pulls everything up and in for real support without a wire. As a 36DD I did not expect a pull on style to hold me this well for a low impact class, yet it does, with no spillage and no gaping. The deep black looks polished enough that I happily wear it under an open blazer too. medium, true to my band size.

I do a boxing conditioning class with a lot of quick upper body movement, and I was surprised how well this pull on style held me through the punches and burpees with minimal bounce for a wire free bra. The crossed straps never shifted or slid, the band stayed put, and the v neck meant no chafing at a high neckline during all that movement. it punches above its weight for something so comfortable.

I wanted something that could hold me through a barre class and still look intentional when I peel off my top layer for a coffee after, and this v neck does both. The crossback keeps it secure the whole class, the plunge is flattering without being risque, and the black looks clean under anything. 34C, small, true to size and still perfect months on.
