Customer review: “Not only do I get SO many compliments when I wear this but it is very supportive (I do lots of HIIT work-outs). Have had this product for about a year now and it has held up super nicely with no loss of elasticity in the fabric.

It’s a very versatile piece and I currently have this in three colors and the same great quality with all of them.”

Customer review: “The fit was great and it didn’t give my 32DD bust even a hint of uniboob problems. Only thing that some people might dislike is even though it has removable cups if you have a tendency to nip out hard it will show through the cups a little.”
