I'm pretty short just a tad over 5ft. I do have boobs and good posture!  I mention the posture because it does tend to make your chest stand out farther which makes me look like I'm 5 by 5. I have tired lots of minimizers and lots of sports bras with little satisfaction.  This bra doesn't say minimizer but it is the BEST minimizer I've ever put on.  It's not pretty and lord it is wide but it does the job without giving you a uniboob.  Talk about no bounce.  Definitely no bounce maximum support.  This bra actually makes me look like I have small boobs!  As far as size.  I ordered my size and the bra fits perfectly.
