Comfy cotton natural fiber. Straps do not adjust. Apr 04, 2011
By cynthia_colorado
This is a good bra for leisure, or even office wear, if you can get the right fit. OK for yoga and low-impact exercise. Be aware that this is not the type of sports bra for jogging, tennis, etc.
I prefer bras that are mostly cotton, combined with some spandex for shape retention. Compared to typical cotton-spandex bras, this bra is more supportive, but still not enough for sports. The soft fabric is thicker than a leisure bra, and somewhat more supportive than a leisure bra.
The back is mostly a mesh fabric that seems sturdy but comfortable. The bottom band is comfortable too, not scratchy. The bottom edge of the zipper is more comfortable than competing brands of zip-front styles.
Unfortunately, the straps are not adjustable. No uncomfortable buckles, rings, or other hardware on the straps. I'm a little over 5 feet tall, and the straps are a little too long. I like this bra so much, that I decided to keep it, and will attempt to get the straps shortened by a seamstress.
If you are planning to wear this for the office or other ordinary day-to-day activities, the style does have some limitations, as follows: Because of the racer-back style, the straps are not covered by shirts that have a wider neckline, e.g., boat neckline, scoop neckline, or even some V-neck tops. Also note that the edges of the bra are somewhat thick, they might not disappear underneath a tight, clingy T-shirt if the fabric is thin and lightweight. OK under a T-shirt that fits loosely and has a crew neckline.
Be aware that when bra makers say that cups are "molded", they mean something entirely different by the term, versus what most customers think of as "molded". If you are unfamiliar with this, just ignore the word "molded" when reading bra descriptions. The cups are somewhat stretchy, and not stiff.
Sizing: If between band sizes, I suggest ordering the larger band number, if this is intended for all-day wear.
Overall, I highly recommend this bra, but not for bouncy sports, and only if you are not short, unless you like to sew alterations.

 Very Comfortable Bra for Women with Arthritis Jan 05, 2012
By Eva M. Wilson
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and the shoulder joint has been very painful, along with my hands and wrists. This is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. It was easy to get on and the material is just the right amount of thickness and I love the soft cotton. The only itching I noticed was a tag in the back that I removed that solved the itching problem. It is true to size and not skimpy like some other bras I have tried (and sent back). I can hang out in the house with it and take naps without any problem and since I am retired and no longer work in an office. I also wear it outside the house for errands and such. No digging in my shoulders either. I love the back of this bra also. I recommend it for those with arthritis. I did not even unzip it to put it on. I just pulled it over my head and had no problem.
 Mostly good, but itchy! Dec 21, 2011
By vobsister
I agree that this is not a bra for vigorous activity, but if you need a comfy sports bra that zips in front, this is pretty good. It also provides a more flattering silhouette than other sports bras. However, I found it to be very itchy, particularly the lining of the straps. Fortunately, it can be worn wrong side out, though then the piece of material that would have been covering the zipper, protecting the skin from it, is now on the outside, and will probably be noticeable in tops that fit fairly well. But under a baggy shirt, no problem.
I ordered two and am going to keep one--wearing it inside out--and return the other. If I weren't in actual need of such an item right now, I would have returned both.
very comfortable and pretty good support Nov 03, 2011
By high on the hill
It is very difficult to find a 34DD that is this comfortable. The support is not great for exercise, but actually provides pretty good "shape" given the size of my bust. I like the basic design of the bra. The front zip is great and the straps never slide off. It is fine under loose fitting clothing and absolutely wonderful while traveling on long flights that are so insufferable these days. The quality could be improved. The seams are unfinished and the zipper pull protrudes. I even had to remove some of the stitching that prevented the zipper from zipping easily (I ordered two...only one had the problem) I will order more, but will have the seams neatened up and perhaps a new zipper pull put in.
Sports Bra with Zipper Mar 21, 2011
By Linda
"Amazon Fan"
I had looked at inexpensive sports bra with a front zipper for easy wear and found it at amazon.com, the source of many of my purchases. I bought a black one and a white one for my yoga class. Probably not enough support for running but perfect for light activity.
