CRZ Large versus Lululemon 8
I don’t normally write reviews but I’d thought I’d write one on this sports bra, since I found it to be a great product and extremely well priced for the quality.SIZING: I read several reviews and decided to order a LARGE since I do not like tight bands. I should wear a 34A or 34B in bras but I constantly add extenders to my bra’s bands, so I look at 36A for sizing in bras and sports bras.I am a true 8 (about 13” in lower band halfwidth) in Lululemon- my rib cage can not handle a 6 and the band’s on 10’s are too large.PHOTO COMPARISON: Please see the photo and sorry the lighting is not good. I have the Lululemon on top of the pink CRZ bra.BANDWIDTH: The CRZ bra’s LARGE bandwith measures exactly to an 8 for the Lululmemon Free to Be Wild bra. The height of the CRZ lower band is a bit higher (about 2 times wider) and therefore a bit tighter than Lululemon, but not enough to cause discomfort- not enough that I would size up in the CRZ. The LARGE is best for me.COVERAGE: The height of the CRZ bra is taller than the Lululemon. A good inch on the sides (3.5” Lululemon versus 4.5” CRZ) and at the middle (4” Lululemon versus 5” CRZ). Note, these are approximate measurements - I’m not a rocket scientist. So the CRZ gives you more coverage and also a bit more shoulder room (height).SWEAT WICKING: Lululemon does a better job than the CRZ bra in sweat wicking capabilities, IMO. But the CRZ bra holds its own in sweat wicking capabilities - nothing soaked through to the shirts that I wore (although the tops I wore were sweat wicking, too). Also note, I’m not a professional athlete. I’m a wuss.WASH/WEAR: It’s been washed a few times (on cold, in the gentle cycle and laid flat to dry) with the cups inside and again, the CRZ bra is equaling that of the Lululemon. Yes, the cups do fold over sometimes (when putting it on and taking it off) but that doesn’t bother me. Lululemon cups fold over some times, too. Also, it could be me-I’m not exactly coordinated. The color is not fading so far. I don’t use any special kind of detergent but I do not use fabric softener. I also place my bras in separate laundry bags when they’re washed.OVERALL: Hands down, I recommend this bra and the pink color is gorgeous! The photo I posted doesn’t do it justice. The reason I ended up buying the CRZ pink bra in the first place was that Lululemon ran out of the pink in my size. I was obsessed with finding that color and that style. My daughter had the pink Lululemon bra and it looked so cute on her that I just had to have one- ugh! Anywho- the reviews written on this bra gave me the courage to buy the pink CRZ bra. I’m very happy with this purchase! I hope they make more colors in this style!

Better than lulu!!
Obsessed with this bra!! I own lululemon free to be bras, but I actually like the fit of this one more, even flatters my tiny boobs lol I definitely recommend! Not necessarily sweat proof tho

Super cute!
I have many CRZ sports bras all in M and S. This one runs small and is a little tight around the rib cage. But besides that, I love it! Will probably order a L in another color so it is more comfortable. I am 135lbs and where a 32C. M was tight so size up!

Sturdy construction!
I bought this bra because the back of it caught my eye. I have 2 other bras from this brand & I am pleased. I use this bra for working out..... abs, weights, elliptical, walking. I’m 34dd... medium fits well. Band fits perfect, chest is snug/tight, but I like it that way for security. I love the back of this bra because it looks so pretty, isn’t flimsy, & doesn’t cut into my little back fat.

It Feels and Looks Great
Love this bra, the fit, the look and the material. Trick is to get the right size. I read all the reviews and still had doubts until I finally got the bra to try on. I’m a 34C and the XL fits perfectly. In fact, I love it so much I had to buy another color as soon as I received and tried it on. I own other styles of the CRZ Yoga sports bra and their sizing is all over the place. Thanks to everyone’s reviews, they helped me in ordering my correct size. You guys are AWESOME. I got their Free Feeling Strappy Longline bra in the L (this one I could have gone for the Medium but it would have smoosh my boobs in more) and their Free Feeling Strappy Padded in the 34C. Im 5’2”, 133 lbs for reference and I normally wear Small sometimes XS size tops in Old Navy, Express, and Loft brands. I hope that this would help someone decide on their size. The band measures approximately 13.5” across not quite14” on the XL.

Definitely size up at least 1 size, maybe 2.
I loved the look and feel of this bra, but the sizing is WAYYYY off. I am a 34b so I usually order a medium in sports bras. So far every other bra I have received from Crz Yoga in size medium has fit perfectly. They aren’t tight at all, I mean they truly are perfect. But this one... I couldn’t even get it over my shoulders. It is not nearly as stretchy as the other bras. The material is quite stiff. Which might change over time but I don’t really know. I had to return this for a size large. I’m still waiting for it to arrive so I will update this review once I get it.

Tried multiple times and styles. No go.
Not as pictured. My girlfriends and sisters and I are all different shapes and sizes. We are 6” apart from shortest to tallest and within 20-50lbs of each other in weight or: lightest to strongest.We all purchased sizes we thought would fit us based on the reviews we read and sizing chart and eagerly awaited our purchases.Long-story-short: forget the sizing and bust fitting. These bras were all over the place when it came to length, straps, padding, sewing and seems, amount of material (lots, little, none), quality and support.Frustrated and disappointed as this looked so promising and we hoped might work for at least one or two of us.

way too small and uncomfortable, returned 2 sizes
Bought for a friend, she has the matching leggings: 5'6", 140lbs, 34C usually wears small or medium depending on the brand. Reviews said it runs small so tried a medium at first but it was way too small. Tried a large and it's *still* way too small, tight and smushy. This will flatten your chest and squeeze your back flab out, I assume that's not what you're going for lol.I love this brand by the way and own tons of their leggings and tops, she loves the matching leggings too. CRZ Yoga is usually really good on sizing but this is a rare miss. Not gonna try the XL, just going to return both the M and L and move on. Too bad, the bra looks great with the matching leggings and is good quality as expected. Sigh.

Flattering and secure for smaller busts.
Secure whilst showing a little more bust than regular work out bras, best suited for smaller chests.I'm a slim 10/12, 5.9 height and a 32 d/dd bust.I ordered large based on reviews, as I'm normally a small or medium. It really felt like a stupid mistake ordering a large for myself as I'm not busty. The large though is a very snug fit, squashes bust a bit, but it's a secure fit and I'm not worried about falling out.Nice fabric and colour.I wouldn't recommend to anyone with a fuller or bigger bust, i.e 34 measurement. I think it would squash and cut in...double boob look.Very happy with my purchase though and looking forward to my next class.

Definitely size up, needs more material in the front but it’s comfortable
I’m a 34C and usually get a small across the board, but I went with the reviews that suggested sizing up the bra fits small - I got a medium. The band I’d say is the perfect fit but I feel like if you are a bigger cup size, there’s not enough material in the front to cover everything well! The bra definitely needs to come up a little higher in the front, it’s a really narrow piece of material. I don’t know if this would be fixed if i sized up further to a large but the band is perfect in the medium, so I think the large might feel a bit too loose! I have worn the bra with a top over it as it very comfortable and surprisingly a bit supportive, but it’s not something I would wear without a top (it’s just too showy in the front if you’ve got a larger cup size in my opinion)

Designed for a man's body, not suitable for women with anything in front
I was a bit disappointed by this bra as I've bought leggings and a top from this seller without issue.However, whilst the back is cute and feminine, the front is very strange. There is no room for women's body parts in this top, the front is shaped for a man, not a woman. It really squashes you and is super uncomfortable at the front - maybe it's designed to make you look like a man?!?

Love it! (Item sizing is more fitting for shorter & smaller chested ladies)
This is my first purchase of this brand and it’s my new fav sports bra!Great design, quality, workmanship and value.I am a petite 5’0 with narrow shoulders and small chested, ordered the XS which fits me well.The elastic band around rib cage is a little tight, so getting on and off requires care, but it’s not so tight that the bra doesn’t fit.Shows a bit of cleavage too, which for me is useful given my lack of boobs!I usually do yoga but the snug fitting means I can even wear it for surfing without risk of it moving around/falling off.I’m already buying a second bra :)

Comfortable and stylish. Love it
Not only is it very comfy and does the job, it's also stylish and very expensive looking. Well worth the money
