I'm always in the search of a good bra that separates instead of smashes. I thought this one could finally be what I was looking for. It came close but not quite. I loved the front closure. I loved the separation but I didn't feel the support was adequate. More like a swimsuit type of support than a bra. By the end of the day the band irritated me, and the cups were not shaping me properly. This one goes back :(. Originally posted on www.athleta.gap.com
