I am a bit heavy and I had a really nice call that was frontal closure like this and I have had it for years and it's so comfortable so I was trying to find one similar . by the size chart I am a 1X but I saw that around small so I got a 2X and that is pretty tight . It is pretty comfortable but I kind of wish I would've gotten a 3X . I think this is a good bra but if I was on the upper side of 1X I would get a 3X . the only way I am able to get this on is by having it already done and then putting it over my head . Hopefully it will stretch in time . It is pretty comfortable .
