I bought the flower pattern - omg the material is so silky smooth and so pretty!! Great quality. I'm a 42 D and bought my regular size 2x. The bra portion is a little loose on the sides, so will try a 1x and see if it's better. I wouldn't be able to work out in this - or any shelf bra for that matter. I work from home, so when I wake up in the am, I like to get my coffee and check in with work before getting ready for the day. I hate sleeping in a regular bra, so wanted something that was somewhat supportive that I could putz around in until I find time to get a shower. This provides plenty of support for that, including getting the mail or running through the bank drive through, emptying the dishwasher, starting laundry, etc. I also bought the purple one in the same size..that's more of a cotton feel. I love that one too. The only negative so far was that I wish the bra was tacked down because it rolls up under itself when trying to get it on...but it's not like shapewear so it's not terrible, just a little disappointing.I tried multiple brands and this one has been the best so far! You won't be disappointed. Yes, it's a little more expensive than some of the others, but it's still cheaper than buying a bra and a shirt!
