Fruit of the LoomWomen's Spaghetti Strap Cotton Sports Bra - All-Day Comfort & Easy Movement
K**W
These "bralettes" are great! This review will cover SIZING, WORKING OUT and WASHING....
I do medium/high impact workouts. And good workout bras are EXPENSIVE! One day all my good workout bras were dirty, so I doubled up on these bras. And guess what, with 2 of these bras at the same time (1 camisole bralette & 1 sports bralette) - I was just as supported as my good workout bra - for a whole $8!Here is what I have learned.TYPES - There are now MANY types of bras under this one heading. I have both the CAMISOLE type and the SPORTS BRALETTE type (both have spaghetti straps are not adjustable). I would NOT call them sports bras, but rather "bralettes" or shelf bras. They feel like cotton and have non-adjustable straps (but the non-adjustability does not seem to be an issue for most people). I bought both in the white, black, grey sets. The sports bralette type has ruching, that doesn't look all that great and doesn't really add to the bra. But the straps of the sports bralette are really cute. The sports bralette comes with ONE set of padded inserts that can be moved from one sports bralette to the other. Because I always wear a shirt when working out, these inserts are unnecessary, so I am not using them. The set of inserts comes with the sports bralette, but NOT with the camisole type. To confirm you are buying the correct type, make sure you click on the color options and look at the accompanying photos, because the DESCRIPTION DOES NOT CHANGE!SIZING - I am a 34D(or DD) or a 36C/D. And with these bralettes I wear a 38. It feels snug and appropriately supported. For the bralettes I bought, the camisole type actually fits a bit more snug and the sports bralette type fits a bit looser.Given my sizing and what I have read from the other reviews, here is how I would guess the sizing works:A cup - go actual size.B cup - Sports Bralette go actual size, Camisole go up 1 size.C cup - go up 1 size.D cup - go up 1 size for Sports Bralette and 2 sizes for Camisole.DD and bigger - go up 2 sizes. But if you are well endowed with a small rib cage (e.g., 32 DD or bigger) then this bra may not work for you, because if you go up more than 2 sizes, the band at the bottom may be too big. (But again, for me with a 34D(or DD) or a 36C/D - a 38 is perfect.)Whew - get all that? :) Again, this is all only a guess - but hopefully my guessing helps a little. Basically the bigger your cup size, the more sizes up you need to go.(UPDATE: It is now May 2020, we are 2 months into the COVID 19 Pandemic and are "sheltering in place". Consequently it is now 2 months since I have worn an underwire bra! Even though my size 38s are still great and still work after 3 years of use, they are now a bit tighter, so I use them when I want more support/working out. But I wanted something a little less tight for "sheltering in place", so I bought a size 40 of the "sports bralette" with the ruching. I am essentially living in them - both for sleep and working around the house all day. But the reason for writing this update (beside the fact that these are truly good enough to live in) is that the sports bralettes I just purchased no longer have the separate pad to insert into the bralette for 'modesty'. So if you order the sports bralette it is unlikely that you will receive a removable pad.)HOW I WEAR THEM - I use the camisole type when I have a low cut shirt and too much cleavage is a bit inappropriate. Sometimes I wear it alone, or sometimes I wear my bra under it. I also use it alone for low impact sports (I just wore is skiing and it was perfect.) Or for my high impact workouts I use the sports bralette type and the camisole type together - in the same color, and all the straps look pretty cute! Also, because the straps are all in different places, it doesn't hurt my neck/top of my shoulders like some of my "real" sports bra do - the pressure/weight is spread out if you use the 2 different bra types together. (I have included 3 pictures of my back: a) camisole; b) sports bralette and c) both together.)WASHING: make sure to hang dry these bras - but other than that I have had no issue with either the quality or the washing of these bras. The directions say to hand wash and hang dry, but machine washing and hang drying seem to be fine. (On the other hand, if they are too big when you buy them, stick them in the dryer, because they will shrink a bit!)IN SUM - at $4-5 a bra it is an amazing price point. And for $8-10 to double them up and use them for workouts is awesome! And they are much cuter than my ugly old workout bras. I hope this is helpful to you!2018 UPDATE: I have now been using the same bralettes (2 packs of 3) for more than a year. They have gotten a hint smaller over time (even though I always hang them dry). But they still fit, they still have great elastic, they are still soft and they still look just as good as the day I bought them. These have been a GREAT purchase!

Very comfy and true to size
I liked these so much, I also bought a pack of 6 colors. Very comfortable with light support. I wouldn't suggest using them for jogging, but they are good for everyday wear and low-impact workouts like yoga.I wear a 36B and the 36 was a perfect fit.I thought it might be a little tight in the band at first, so I also tried the 38 and it was too big. The top gapped a little. The 36 ended up being just right.They have also held up well after several washings.

I like them but they run a little small, in my opinion.
When I measured around my breast/rib cage, the measurement was about 38 inches. I'm 4'11" and weigh about 117 pounds. I can wear these size 38 Fruit of the Loom, spaghetti strap cotton pull over 3 pack sports bras (pink, white and black), but I ideally I may have done better to try to get a larger size for every day wear. The size 38 smooshes my medium-size breasts a little. At age 67, I'm all about comfort these days in terms of clothes. It's summer now where I live, and hot. These cotton bras are a little on the warm size. I kept the bras I bought because they almost work for me & I'm hoping they stretch out a little, plus I was sick when they arrived and didn't have the energy to go return them. So basically, I like them and will be able to use them but I did find them a bit more snug than I would have liked. HOWEVER, the fit would be great for me if I was exercising, jogging and the like. It's nice to have a snug fit then. So I guess this would work well for me, size-wise, as a SPORTS bra, as it is classified to be.

Fit great
More color selections than I can find in stores. I ordered by my bust measurement rather than bra size (bust 37", I ordered 38). Fit great. Comfortable cotton with a little spandex, more comfortable than regular bras.

Favorite of my tween and teens! Soft, comfortable, no clasps
I have purchased multiple sets of these for my tween and teen girls! They fit true to size, the material is supportive but not restrictive cotton, it hides well under clothes, and there are no clasps to irritate their skin. It is a solid piece around the bodice, so you have to get the size right or it could be too tight/loose. The front panel is double lined which is the best feature of this style over others we've tried for sure! I will definitely be buying more! (they've also held up to sweat and tons of of wash and wear)

BE ADVISED.
I am pleased with the fabric of this product however the sizes included were not accurate. The striped sport bra was a size larger where the red and black sport bras were the same smaller size. I decided to keep them anyway.

Great for everyday wear
They dont offer much support for bigger boobs but they are perfect for everyday wear lounging around the house.

Great Pajama top
Comfy enough to sleep in at night and wear during the day. No pads included so no privacy in that area. If you are nipply or larger chested these may not be for you.
