Figured I'd give a comparison review for the sizing difference.I read the reviews and chose to order a size up. (Large)Bust is 34b, but on the small side of that b, rib cage under the ladies is 32 inches.Laying flat the champion measures a hair over 13 1/2. There is not much stretch, really pulling it got to 16 inches.My under armour pictured is a size medium. Same measurements, so the champion does run small.I personally love under armour, however I really liked this champion over it. The under amour is cut differently which gives me the ugly armpit/ side fat sometimes seen when you wear sports bra. It is also a tighter of a fit in the chest than the champion. Might be how champion has the back cut away on this bra that gives you the more roomier feel. But I didn't feel squished into the champion, which I loved. Supportive but not restrictive. I also like the way the back is more narrow than traditional sport bras, which with all the cute colors they come in, might make it look better to wear in the summer with a tank, instead of the awkward ugly spread of a traditional racer back in a spaghetti strap top.The only thing I didn't like about this bra was the elastic band at the bottom, I didn't notice it when I was working out, but when I got done and went to remove the bra, the band collected all the sweat, which was soaked and kinda gross. I was not expecting a cool wet band when I went to grab it. Which isn't the worst thing, but it's not something I really experienced with a bra before.I don't know how supportive this would be with cardio or running, I'm a gym rat that lifts weights, I don't run or do a lot of cardio as a huge part of my workout. I get dragged to Zumba every now and then and once I've wore this to a class I'll up date my review. However, I'm pretty small chested and I am not blessed..or cursed (which ever end your on) with a large chest I need to contain, so my review might not be worth much in that area.I will be purchasing more of these.02/02/16 UpdateWashed and hung dry, was so much easier to get over my head than the first time. Not near the tight squeeze it once was. Still loving this bra.

Perfect for me, not for everyone
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017
(This review is under my husband's name, but I am a woman.) I am giving this sports bra 4 stars because, even though it's PERFECT for me, it's not for everyone.First of all, these definitely run small. I'm barely a 36B. According to the sizing chart, I should be a medium. Trying this bra on in a store, I couldn't even get the medium on. (I bought one bra at Target, then once I knew the size I bought more on Amazon.) Most people would have probably liked the large, but I can't stand a tight fit, so I went for XL. It's still snug like a sports bra should be, but I can get it off without a struggle, even after a good workout.This is not a very supportive bra. It says "medium support," but I think it's more like light support. Fortunately, I don't really need a lot. It does not have any kind of padding in the cup, and the material is a bit thin. But again, that's what I was looking for. I don't want padding. I don't need much support. Just a bit of tight fabric to keep things in place while I run.Finally, the color on the "pop art pink" was not what I expected. It was more red than pink. That's the only thing that had me slightly disappointed, but I can live with it. I also have a black one and a grey one, and those colors are fine.

I love champion's brand!! I was a little concerned about the size because I read all the reviews but, It worked for me. Nice fabric, good support, maybe it a little tight for some people. I'm size 6 and 34b - I'm going to order two more bra, different colors :). Perfect for running- very comfortable for small- medium chest!

Size down if you like tight sports bras
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018
Like the description says, its moderate support. I prefer high support because I do plyometrics and run a lot. For reference, I like sports bras that hug my boobs so tight that they don't move at all and I can forget that I even have boobs. I am a 32B and 5'1, about 105lbs. When I'm on the pill, my boobs get fuller and more sensitive so when I run in this bra it hurts for the first 10 minutes of running before I get used to it. I got the small and it fits well enough that I didn't exchange, but after wearing them for a few months, I wish I had sized down to an XS. I should have looked at the sizing guide more closely. The bras shrunk a little since I got them but not too much. Overall, I think these bras will hold up for a few years. Not a bad purchase.

Cute style for fashion but not for sports.
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018
Back cut-away design means less fabric on sides, therefore less support. I wear Champion sports bras regularly, and this is not true to size. It's a cute style but not for any kind of impact sports, and only for small breasted women. While small compared to other styles, the rib band had no extra elastic or support-it was the same strength/stretchiness as the bra part, causing it to ride up.I returned this bra. I also ordered the Freedom Racerback and it fit like all my other Champion sports bras, so I am keeping that.Quality, construction and fabric are as expected for this brand.

I'm a 34D so I ordered a large because that's what the size chart said. I tried it on and the "straps" were way too loose and the band a bit loose. I ordered a medium and that fit way better! I've worn it around the house and it's comfortable. The material is moisture wicking. This held up well for a mile run, I haven't tried longer distance but I'm confident it will hold up well. I own various sports bras of different brands and this is by far one of the best I've had, especially given the price! I just wish I'd gotten more when they were on sale, but I'll definitely buy more.

You call this a sports bra? For a brand like champion this leaves MUCH to be desired. Thereâs no padding, the entire âbraâ is a cheap, thin, see through fabric. It doesnât even look anything like the picture. Disappointed is an understatement. Iâll be returning this ASAP and honestly what a waste of my time to even have to go through the hassle of returning this by mail by to get my money back. Iâm shocked that this even has 4 stars to begin with.

This is hands down the most comfortable bra I've owned. 34B and got a medium, fits like a dream. I wear this daily for maybe 8-10 hours a day. The only problem is the band starts to rub at the end of the day, and very occasionally I do have to readjust it for comfort. Still, much more comfortable than the other bras I've had, and I'm going to buy a couple more so I have a little stock of them in different colours.

I really liked this bra. I got it because a friend of mine recommended it to me. It's really cute and it holds everything perfectly. At least for me, a small chested woman. However, this bra runs a bit small. It fits very tight. I'm okay with that as it is nothing crazy and I'm looking to lose some weight but I would highly recommend going a size up if you're in between sizes and towards the bigger end. I'm 5'1 and 125 pounds and got a Medium. If you're anything larger than that and usually wear a Medium, I would suggest getting a Large.
