I purchased 2 of these bras in my normal size 24w. I have 2 of the zip up Duluth sports bras (older version)- these are not the same! Too small with ZERO stretch. I'm so disappointed and had to return them. Please bring back the older zip front version.
Women's Plus High-Impact Bonded Zip-Front Bra
Sometimes just getting a bra ON can be an aerobic exercise: stop fighting yourself and try a zip front instead! Built with bonded seams, flat-set stitching and laser-cut vents to increase airflow, the High-Impact Bonded Zip-Front Bra sports a sleek silhouette. The criss-crossed back offers extra support and security, while fully adjustable straps made from soft, brushed elastic move with you – without digging in. Zip into a custom fit that just won’t quit, and bust through your day bounce-free with the High-Impact Bonded Zip-Front Bra.
My bra size is 38DDD...so I tried to come as close to the recommended sizing. I ordered an 18 and a 20. The 20 arrived first. I could not zip it up as the band was not fitting. My 18 arrived today, but I'm not even taking it out of the bag. I will be returning them both. Is there a way to size according to actual bra sizes?..
My brain did not register that first line that said " Most compressive bra fit is ideal for your highest-impact activities". This item titled "Women's Plus Adjustabust BONDED Zip-Front Bra Item: 30592" is just too stiff. You should call it a girdle for the girls. Back in the 60's we had girdles made out of tough no give material and I never wore one. This bra also runs a size smaller or more than the last zip front.The 24W fits more like a 20W or 22 W.You should rename this a girdle bra. The last one I got was called "Women's Plus Adjustabust High Impact Zip-Front Bra Item: 60447". Please bring it back. It is comfortable, easy to put on and feels soft and comfy. The only change you could make if any is to lower the front portion with the zipper about an inch so my Duluth flannels do not have to be buttoned to the top to hide the top of the bra.
Waisted time.
There was another version of this bra with the zip front that I liked much better. This one doesn't fit as well and the fabric is stiff. I returned this.
