This bra rocks! Great sports or T- shirt bra. After nursing two kids, believe me, I can use all the help I can get. Seemed pretty true to size, although it fit a little tight at first. As for working out, it really provided WAY more support than I have ever had in a bra. I bought one in black and white and use them both a lot for working out or otherwise. It really lifts and if you are large busted (like me) is instantly slimming. My husband was like, "Huh?" Also, I have had them for some time, and they wash and wear well. I LOVE this bra, and it was totally worth the exta expense.
