I've never owned a Bali bra that didn't run small in the band.  However, since I know this, I always buy a band size larger because I do like these bras.  This bra does a very good job of reducing my projection without me feeling like my breasts are pushed up under my arms. The front is nice and smooth and I don't have any skin coming up over the band.  Just remember to order a band size larger, and I think you will be happy with this bra.
