I was skeptical, not being able to try this on, plus my measurements slightly exceeded the largest for the lounge bra. I am spreading the word on this item now as it is AWESOME. I don't give out 5 stars unless I am truly impressed. This bra is the most comfortable item I have - I can even sleep in it. Anyone who is "topheavy" will understand. It also holds the girls in place where I feel I can where this outside of my house. I was just hoping for an easy to close sports bra for wearing at home, but this thing rocks! I've only had it a couple of days, so still need to see how it washes up. Thanks!
