Patagonia, please makes more of these!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is probably best-suited for the smaller-breasted woman doing low-impact activities, and even then, she'd probably get the best fit by sizing up. Still, I give this bra high marks because it is invisible under clothes and very comfortable. I wear a 36A and the Small is a wee bit snug around my rib cage; if any were to be found, I'd order more in Medium instead.

I like that it is made of recycled polyester fabric. It gives just a little support under t-shirts for a small busted woman who doesn't like the tight feeling of a bra.

This is a great everyday bra. Unlike most everyday bras & sportsbras, it's comfortable enough to wear all of the time around the house b/c you'll forget you have it on. It's as supportive as my underwires, I don't notice it, and I don't feel like my breathing is being restricted (as with most sportsbras). And, because of the v-neck, it doesn't look like you're wearing a sportsbra under your shirt, so it's great for non-athletic wear.

Definitely runs small. I'm a 36 not-quite-B, and I needed a large in this bra. I could've gotten by with a medium, and might have done so for true athletic use, but the large is comfortable on my ribs. I have pregnant friends who are supposed to wear a bra to bed, not to mention every waking moment, and this is definitely the bra I'd recommend. It does seem like it'd stretch quite a bit, but still, might only barely work for a C-cup.

Best for someone with small chest (small C-cup or less probably) if you want to use for lots of activities, but still a very comfortable bra!

 
Wear this out and send it to recycling

Feels true to size
Pros:
Breathable, Durable, Stylish, Washes Easily
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Camping, Casual Wear, Climbing, Travel, Yoga
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer, Casual/ Recreational, Yogi
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This bra is so pretty. It has a burn out pattern. I am very comfortable in yoga class wearing this bra. The one draw back of this bra is that it doesn't offer shelter when you are cold. But its great because when you wear it out you can drop it in any Patagonia recycling bin.
