Excellent support; great value despite sizing challenges
This sports bra is a great value and ranks better than most of the far more expensive styles I've tried. It is comfortable, supportive, and feels good. It also looks really nice under a fitted shirt; while there is some compression, everything is perky, shapely, and where it should be. Fair warning: I've gotten more boob-stares while on the elliptical in this bra than I have in my other sports bras, despite having no bounce whatsoever in this one.The major problem is the sizing, as other reviewers have mentioned. I used the Glamorise website's size calculator, which determined that I should wear a 34F, which is my normal universal cup size/European bra size. I ordered that size, and while it fits, the band is very, very tight. My below-the-bust measurement actually comes to 33", which typically puts me on the middle hook set of a 34F bra. This one is incredibly difficult to get on when I'm using the loosest hook set. I actually managed to re-injure my wrist in the process, which is kind of amazing because the injury initially came from a fall while curling. You know, the sport-that's-not-a-sport on ice? I really need to fabricate a better story than "I hurt my wrist while curling and then while putting on a bra".The cups are very slightly (maybe a quarter cup-size) large, but I like the fit. I've found the best way to put the bra on is to unhook the overlayer so I can adjust things better in the underlayer, then once I'm all swooped and scooped I re-hook the overlayer. I really love this bra, especially for the price, and I plan to order more, but I'm going to try the next band size up and the commensurate cup size down.So, in sum, my plan is to go with one band size up and one cup size down (as a larger band size requires a smaller cup size for the cup to remain the same). So, as a standard universal cup size/European size 34F, I'm going with a 36DD. Hope that's helpful!EDIT: The 36DD is a perfect fit! It is so comfortable and so supportive. I absolutely love this bra and highly recommend it. I also can't believe that it's less than half the price of most of the sports bras I've found of comparable quality (and this one is actually the most comfortable of all). This bra has earned a 5-star rating for sure.

Great bra for big chested ladies
Like so many others I have tried so many sport bras over the years. I wear a 36DDD in regular bra's. DDD ladies! We know it's really hard to find a bra that truly can hold us in and be supportive especially in a high impact activity. I first bought this bra when I was trying to jog/run. It's the only bra that was even a little supportive. However; I don't jog/run anymore and don't do super high impact workouts. BUT I appreciate real support in the workouts I do. The sizing IS very tricky!!! If you are patient and buy several sizes to find a good fit; I think this bra is worth it. Again as a 36 DDD in regular bras I found the 38 DD to work the best for me. The shoulder straps are adjustable. And the front panel really does help lock and load the girls in place. I don't think it's a bra you could wear without a shirt and this bra will show through a thinner shirt. I feel that's a small price to pay. If you are large chested and need support give this bra a try.

Band runs small
Be sure to size up a band size! I ordered my regular size and couldn't get the band to hook. Way too small. Tried same band size with 2 different cup sizes and it was still too small. Exchanged for 1 band size up with 1 cup size down and it's perfect.The bra itself is great! Supportive and comfy enough for a sports bra. The adjustable feature is really great. Happy with the purchase once I found the right size.

A new review!
I didn't feel as though my first review, or my second, was good enough. So I'm trying again: According to every bra sizing chart out there, I should wear a 36DD. What do I actually wear? A 40D. In one specific brand. In one specific style. If I try to wear this size in a different style of the same brand, it will not fit. And any size in other brands will not quite fit. Thus is the world of bras. They make them, but not for your breasts; for a style. Trying them on in a store is a special kind of torture, so I order online where I enjoy the help of reviewers. Other reviewers said to go up in band size. I went with 38. Bigger than a 36, smaller than a 40. Splits the difference between what I am supposed to be and what I wear. Then, I went with a D-cup. I figured that a 38DD would have a larger cup than a 36DD, and I might not fill it out. The last thing that you want in a sports bra is extra room to jiggle. Lucky me, it fits! I wear it on its tightest setting for running and it is extremely comfortable. There is a lot of room under the arms, so there is no chafing there. The seams on the band sit pretty straight, though I do have one on the right side that digs sometimes. When this happens, I just move it forward (toward my chest). The straps are soft and comfy and don't slip. The back sits flat and stays and I don't even think about it. There is movement with my breasts, however. But it is small and I only recently noticed because I don't feel it; I saw it because I began wearing a different shirt. The tightest setting will make the under part of the bra lose some shape and you will want to shift your boobs as forward and together as they will go to avoid tissue seeping out of the arm holes. Yes, there is some uniboob effect when you do this. But it is not so terrible as some bras. There is still a division between your girls, even if you can't see it under a shirt. The tightest setting is comfortable enough to stretch in after your bouncy cardio, even though you don't necessarily need it. I find it nicer than the lower settings, myself. Feels like the next best thing to having small boobs. My one complaint is that the seems fray easily in the wash. I haven't had it that long, but it already seems worn. Fits the same, though. I would totally buy another one, even if the price went up. A good bra is hard to find.

Bra band size a bit off, but back hooks allow for adjustment
I ordered two bras, each a 36 band but cup size different. The bands should have been the same size, but were not: differed by an inch. However, the rows of hooks allowed adjustment, so they were both satisfactory in the end.The bras are very well made, and are perfect for keeping things in place while jogging; it's difficult to find a large size cup with a 34 or 36 band in a sport bra. They launder well and last for years (these two are my second set--the first set lasted for 8 years!) I love the second layer of fabric which hooks over the cups underneath--keeps me snug and comfy on long runs.I would recommend this product!

Comfort and support
Like this sports bra. The fabric is comfortable on the skin. There is lots of stretch and support. The front design is interesting and comprises two parts. One - like a normal bar is next to the skin and forms part of the bra body. The second is on the outside at the front. It is attached under the bust but has separate attachments at the top - to the shoulder straps, so it can be made tighter than the inner bra. So it offers two separate 'uplift' adjustments. This make for great support and comfort. Can be worn for everyday under a Tshirt etc when having a physically active day.

way too big
I know sizes aren't universal, but if you buy it according to the measurements you take right beforehand, you would expect it to fit at least somewhat normally. Returning.
