I got this bra to use for working out (I do elliptical, weights and yoga and I'm 36C). It it well-constructed but too structured for an athletic bra. The straps are interesting--they don't have the usual thing to tighten/loosen them. There are lots of little notches along the strap so you have to unhook and rehook them to the bra. The cups are lightly padded. It fit decently but overall it just seemed too structured to be comfortable for working out. It would actually be really nice for an everyday bra if it were in a sleeker fabric (or perhaps as is) but that's not what I was looking for. So far, the perfect athletic bra continues to allude me.
