Let me start by saying, I've tried countless sports bras over the years, but the Glamorise Custom Control Sports Bra #1166 is a game-changer for curvy women like me. The bounce control is unreal – I can finally do jumping jacks without feeling like I'm in a wrestling match with my own chest!

The magic happens with that adjustable front panel and MagicLift technology. No wires digging in, just cushioned support that actually shapes instead of squashing. Under fitted shirts? Perfection. Though fair warning – you might catch some extra glances at the gym (even with zero bounce, the lift is THAT good).

Now let's talk sizing – this is crucial. Like other reviewers, I found the band runs tight. I normally wear 34F but had to size up to 36DD for comfort (pro tip: unhook the overlayer when putting it on). Once sized right? Heavenly. The moisture-wicking fabric keeps me dry through spin classes, and those three columns of hooks give customizable tightness.

Compared to pricier brands like Panache or Shock Absorber? This outperforms them all at half the cost. While some may want more compression (especially for high-impact sports), for daily workouts and even multi-day hikes, this is my holy grail. After years of painful red marks from other bras, finding this felt like winning the lottery.

If you're plus-sized and active, do yourself a favor – ignore the unflattering design (seriously Glamorise, work on aesthetics) and embrace the life-changing support. Just order one band size up from your usual!
