THE GYM PEOPLE Womens' Sports Bra Longline Wirefree Padded with Medium Support

Note: I am someone that would have to wear an underwire and 2 sports bras along with ace-bandage taping my chest down in high school... just so I could pretend to jog. My chest would still hit my chin if I actually hopped or bounced or stars-forbid jog.***I was skeptical. EXTREMELY skeptical about buying this.Now, I am glad that I did. I do not think in my lifetime there will be a perfect sportsbra for MY specific chest needs, but this is the best I have ever worn. I spent $150 on one about 10 years ago, and that one barely made it past "okay".This, if I were less well-endowed would be perfect for me. As it is now, it kept bouncing to a minimum I have never experienced. There was still significant bouncing for me though. Neither of my breasts felt as though they were being crushed, AND neither breast escaped the bra, though!The fabric is very breathable and I think would have decent support maybe all the way up to a G-cup (that is probably pushing it though).

Detailed review ahead (girl, be ready for a novel)….I have to say first that I am a die hard lululemon fan, but I work as a choreographer every summer for a well respected theatre camp. Last year, all my lululemon running shorts and most of my tanks were on their last leg. I had heard about these online and wanted to give them a try as an alternative for summer camp, as I could spend less and buy more colors to mix and match. WOW! For the money you can’t go wrong.I purchased the white, black, denim blue, and jade green tanks and the matching mesh lined high waist running shorts. I am 5’7 and your typical smedium 32dd. I ordered medium across the board. I rapidly lose weight over the summer due to the heat and the exercise. I feel these will fit me if I fluctuate as low as about 15 pounds lighter.Tanks- These are fantastic. They are not for super high impact, but for lower/ medium impact dance they are great. I can also see myself wearing these all summer as loungewear or with shorts. If I sized down it would’ve given me more cleavage than I wanted. I may try taking in the liner a bit for more security near the end of summer when I’ve dropped weight. Great lululemon dupe. Comfortable and flattering. The ONLY con I have is that the size varied slightly by color. The black and white fit more snug (which I preferred). The denim blue and Jade green fit a little looser as you can see in the side profile picture of the denim blue set.Shorts- these are great dupes as well! The back pocket completely fits my iPhone XR. The side pocket is super secure and deep. The shorts are slightly longer in the back. The high waist is pretty small and includes about an inch of tighter elastic. I personally like this for camp so my walkie doesn’t pull them down, but if you have more of a square figure it may pay to size up. The tank meets right where these shorts start. My only complaint on these is sometimes the way they lay can look a bit funky in the crotch area, but nothing too major. The colors all looked great. I wore the white with red underwear and it didn’t show through where the mesh liner was.As a set- Black is perfect and what you’d expect. The white is a CRISP white. Like, it made me pull out my teeth whitener white. It’s beautiful, but literally my Snow White OPI nail polish even looked a tad dingy in comparison. The Jade green shorts were a slightly different shade than the tank. It was not enough for my husband to notice without telling him. For some reason it looks a lot different in the photo but they’re more similar in person. The blue is a pretty darn close match. If anything, the band is slightly different due to the different material. It’s not a dealbreaker for me, as I plan to mix and match a lotFinal thoughts- I love them. I sent both my sisters the links to them, I will live in them all summer, and I will be buying more sets in a variety of colors. Lululemon who?

Long review, apologies in advance!For background, I’ve given up on traditional bras (age 55, b+ cup, usually med/lg in tops, 5’2” 130 lbs). Bra clasps were digging into my back, prob should’ve gotten a fitting, but started noticing the no clasp, spandex “bra” was available in many stores- the kind w/wide straps, thin material and light support. Decided to give it a try, and found I could wear it for light workouts directly after work- walk at gym, etc., so I wouldn’t have to change undergarments before going home. However, that style started to misshape w/heavier use and did not offer support I’d prefer both at work and transitioning into heavier workouts. I started looking for something that would be a hybrid bra/athletic support and came across this item. Haven’t gone all day at work yet (teacher at end of summer), but so far, I think it will serve the purpose. Here’s the pros:Super comfortable fabric! Feels kind of like those soft, medium thick, fitted leggings that have that extra brushed material feel (I’m sure other name brands have this material, but I don’t love their prices)! The straps on this cami, which I feel is the fit style, are also soft, and do not dig into your shoulders- love it, because unlike the regular spandex wide strap I was wearing, these do not seem to slide over. I am also partial to a V-neck, so it won’t show under most shirts, and I feel like it adds a little sexy touch w/the lift I get from pads (appreciated at my age)! The structure is fitted, but not tight, and my only issue is that I tend to fall between sizes (not the shirt’s fault), so the medium was a little snug on top, but if I’m working out, that’s a benefit, and has not bothered me in all day wear- almost feels like a compression hug!The interesting thing about this garment is that it has a shelf bra style on top, then straightens out like a cami, which does pucker a bit sometimes, but I found it lands nicely right above my belly button and hits above the curves, so any rolling is minimal, and due to the cami style, as opposed to the shorter bra tops, in my opinion, you could run around town in this item or wear to workout as-is or underneath other shirts. I did order the large to compare and found that it was too loose for my purposes. Ifthe med holds, once battle-tested when I return to middle school, I will be purchasing more for sure!

I love this and so does my husband. It is TTS and also pushes them up and together. The fabric is soft and washes well after many washes. It is a great sports bra but you can also go to the grocery store or even out to a festival with the right jeans or skirt. It is more of a cropped tank if you plan to wear this out and about. If you are cautious about showing your belly button try a high waisted jean or skirt with it. This piece is very versatile and a good staple in white, soft pink, red-brown, black or navy. I love that it comes in so many colors and I have bought them. If you are in between sizes go up a size but if you want more of push up feel go with your normal size. Happy Purchases.
