Fit "as hoped" would be more accurate, as my bust at 37" measures right in between Medium and Large.  I was relieved that the Medium 34-36" was not too tight and continues to be comfortable.  Often the armholes are too tight due to my excess flab,  so I studied the photos on all similar bras before making my choice. I was tired of the tiny hooks on my other front-closure bras and thought snaps would be easier.  They're not that much easier, and maybe I need Velcro, but they are an improvement.  This bra is as comfortable as one can get I think.  The directions say to wash the bra before wearing it, but once you wash something you can't return it, so I make a point of trying out any washables,  including sheets, first.
