Many of the reviews I read here and on the Champion site said to order larger, so I did. I also had experience with another Champion bra that was smaller than the size indicated. Instead of 38C, I ordered 40D (no 40C available). It was still too small in the band, but too large in the cups. I guess Champion just isn't my brand. Also, though it looks like an attractive orange and gray combination in the picture, the orange is a real traffic-stopper screaming fluorescent (just where are you supposed to be wearing this thing, anyway - to a fire?), and the gray was also not as pleasant as in the picture, probably due to the material. It's a kind of slick ugly material. I would much prefer cotton or cotton blend, but that's hard to find in sports bras now. So if you have a very narrow ribcage and big boobs, and want to be seen coming from two blocks away, this is your bra.
