I admit to being extremely surprised at how well this bra fit. I was tired of buying expensive bras because, when my ribs spread in pregnancy, they didn't return to my pre-pregnancy 36. However, having lost the weight, my breast size was a "b" cup. Trying to find a 38-40B size was difficult and almost invariably expensive. Worse, the bras didn't flatter at all.  My husband remarked at how nice a couple of my shirts looked; the shirts were not new, but the bra certainly revitalized the way they looked. I am buying more because while I purchased these for yoga, I found that they were comfortable all day.
As for putting them on and taking them off; most women's hips are close or don't exceed their breast size. I fasten the back and gently step into this bra, pulling it up equally gently. Reverse for removing. I'm delighted, but would love to see light blue, aqua and other colors!
