This is not the prettiest bra - and it's pricey.  But, really, it's a sports bra.  What I want in a sports bra is one that fits and is supportive.  This one is the only one I have found so far that does that.  I like underwires and am a 36DDD, which is nearly impossible to find in a sports bra as well.  In my opinion, it is worth the price to buy one in my size than to go with a bigger band (which is not really comfortable or supportive) to get the cup size right.  This bra also is very forgiving in the wash - because, let's be real, I am not hand-washing my sports bras every couple of days and these do get sweaty.  This bra is probably not for everyone, but I like it a lot.
