I love this bra
I purchased this bra from Lingerie Divia- Amazon, (also know as GiGi's Closet) and I love it. Finally I have a sports bra or every day bra that is comfortable and fits. No uniboob, and no bounce, no over spill. This bra is fit to your exact size. European sizes do not add 5 inches to your band size! Instead they add it to the cup.Here is what I learned from reading other websites. Measure the circumference (not super tight) of the area just below your breasts where the band will reside. That is you band size. Then measure the circumference over the top of your breast (over the nipples). Subtract the band size from breast measurement and you have your cup size. One inch difference is a size A, two inch size B and so on.I also found a place that specialized in bra fittings in my town. Best to double check these measurements with a professional. But once you do, the world is wide open to bras that will support you and look great too. I am no way affiliated with the above seller; I just love the product and will buy from them again.In years of searching I have never found a sports bra that gave comfort and control like this one. Years ago I gave up on finding a regular bra that fit, so I wore for 5 years a Moving Comfort Fiona Bra. It was a step-up at the time, but mashed uni-boob prevailed. As the bras wore out there was no support to my boobs and it actually gave me back pain. This Anita bra is different. It really supports my breasts and they are not smashed. The band is true to size. Make sure that you measure under your breasts for your band size, and that is the size you should order. Do not add 5 inches to that size or you will have a bra that is way too big and will not support you! This bra should fit snug initially with wear it will stretch out so you can move it gradually to the inner hooks. Don't ever dry it, unless you want to shrink it a bit.

Fit, Support, Comfort!
IMO, this company makes the best sports bras I've tried. This is my 4th one. They're all great - I just wish they made them in more colors!

Surprisingly Comfortable!
TL;DR:8/10 overall - totally worth it. THE PRICE IS INSANE!!9/10 support10/10 comfort8/10 fit5/10 looksIf you run, read the last paragraphI bought this sports bra as an option to wear when I am having tattoos touched up - I have some in the middle of my back which means a racerback style doesn't work year-round. Also, sometimes it's nice to wear a traditional tank when I am working out, and a double-strap bra such as this is a great option.I was impressed with how lightweight this bra is. In fact, before I tried it on I made the assumption that I would have to return it because it would not be supportive enough. Boy, was I wrong. This bra is extremely supportive, I couldn't be happier, honestly! On the support scale, I'd give it a 9/10, and recommend it to anyone.The bra is extremely comfortable. It doesn't itch, bind, fold, or fall down anywhere. For comfort I'd give it a 10/10.As to fit, I always have a bit of trouble with the sized cups. I got a 34C in this bra (since that's the size I am now) and it does seem a little roomy, but with the right amount of adjusting things are where they ought to be. I think for most people this probably isn't going to be an issue; however, if you've experienced this strange phenomenon in the past, it might be worth your while to get one a size smaller than usual (for instance, I probably would have been better off with a 34B) and the normal size. Then, return the one that doesn't satisfy you. For fit, I'd give it an 8/10, because I think the issue is with me and not the bra.As to design aesthetic, the bra looks kinda hinky when it's on. Whoever decided that adding those purple swooshes on the side would be flattering just didn't road test this on any women before sending it into production. It just looks weird. Not so weird that I'm sending it back, because let's face it: this bra is a GREAT PRICE. So looks come second. Anyhow, on the aesthetic side, it gets a 5/10. Honestly, if it was just a solid color it wouldn't be so bad.If you're a runner, I'd say this is a good middle-distance bra. I will wear it for runs up to (but not exceeding) 10-12 miles. I think anything longer and the fit issue may cause some trouble for me, including chafing in an area where you really don't want to be chafed. For weight lifting, it's awesome. No binding or impingement of range of motion. For any medium to high impact activities, like Zumba, dancing, aerobics, running, tennis, whatever, I'd give this a thumbs up. Enjoy the bra, enjoy the price!

Well-designed and comfortable
Fits great and feels good. Can wear it without a top, too (depending on which color one gets). Flattering, too!

They changed the band material, no longer comfortable
The bra I just received is going back. Why did I purchase it in the first place? I still own two of these Anita bras and I usually really like them because:1) they hook in back - hard to find in sport bras2) they are very supportive i.e. no bounce3) they last and are very high quality4) have my hard to find size 32D or DD5) are very comfortable.HOWEVER, my latest purchase is going back because it is no longer constructed for comfort due to the difference in the construction of the bottom band: it is a little wider, which is uncomfortable, and the inner side of the band now has elastic ridges which grip the skin and the band is no longer smooth like previous models. I sized up to an E (US DD), however the cup size doesn't seem any different from the D which I currently own (same band size) but the back clasp is now also 4 hook/eyes wide, which seems like overkill and is a pain to do up. Would I have kept this and hoped the band stretched out quickly if it was like a $20 bra? Probably. But for $69, it's going back.
