I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

I'm told by my wife the material does stretch. She is smaller bra size, but told me that you should be good to go.

In my opinon they run a little small. Get a mens or the next size up in a womens size.

I wear a 36D bra and bought a size large. It was tight but not uncomfortable. The fabric is not loose at all. It's bathing suit material.

If you can, get an X-large they have it (not sure that they do). Even then, I suspect it will be too tight. I got a large and I am a 40C. Could not wear it. I did manage to get it on, but it painfully cut into my underarms and under bra area, and my shoulders were still rolling forward.

I am 5'3", 122 lbs. Medium is perfect for me. I wear a 34C bra. It is loose enough to be comfy but still has a somewhat fitted look because the sides are slightly tapered inward at the waist. I love this shirt. Perfect for exercise.

I have this and it is true to size. It has D-rings in each corner and if you pull them tight, it doesn't stretch or sag much....good luck!

It's not padded, but the fabric is very thick and it's lined. It offers a degree of compression--at least I feel that it sort of "squeezes" my chest, but it's a mild compression. I've never used compression bras or tops so I don't know how it would compare to something intentionally designed to compress. For me, it provides support without hurting.

I am a 38 c n the large was more like a 34/36. I kept it as it was very inexpensive. But will probably not ever use it. Good luck.

I am a 38" waist. It is slightly loose on me. It still has some adjustment to go both directions. I hope this helps. As an ex Army Spec ops guy, most chest rigs always feel loose.

In all honesty, I used to be a 36DD and this type of sports bra was never good for me. Now that I've lost weight and am a lot smaller in size these fit very nicely. I say this because the straps are very narrow and when you are larger chested these tend to dig into your shoulders. Your wife might feel too much movement in a top like this. I would suggest perhaps an Adidas or Nike type that has wider straps. Depends on the specific kind but I used to be able to fit into a large or xlarge, depending on brands.

Well I have a high waist and don't want it to look like I am wearing it under my chest. I am trying for sling. Will let you know how I like it.

Well, I am a 32-B in bra size and I'm a fairly small person with a thin skeletal frame. I ordered an Extra Small and, at first, thought it was just too small because it really pressed against my breasts. So then I ordered a Small and realized it was too big to do the therapeutic work I needed. I wasn't wearing this as just a sports bra, I was having real pain in my upper shoulders and across my chest when at the keyboard. I wear this bra to help with that and it really, really has helped (I've been at the keyboard for hours today and am not wearing it; I now only wear it occasionally). But it had to be tight to do the job. The company is really good about returns; I had no trouble returning the Small and getting a second Xtra Small. Hope this helps!

I have this swimsuit and use it for water walking and laps. I don't find it scratchy or irritating at all. It's very comfortable, and I'm happy with it.

I have this in a small and it fits perfectly and true to size but I don't know the measurements, it does stretch so I would think it would be ok, tighter is better anyway so it doesn't slip when your running

It is as easy (or difficult) as other rash guard. I prefer to wear a very tight shirt beacuse I do not want that water get in while I am swimming. The fabric is great and it is easy to put on if you compare it with a neoprene one.

I like them to fit like a wetsuit which is pretty tight. You should have to "roll" it up off your back when you take it off. Sounds like you have the correct size.

I have a 26.5 shell and medium is really really tight and difficult to put on. I don't see it standing up to much more than a week or two of that kind of stretching.

Definitely a small. It will fit snug and support the upper torso. I wear mine fit water aerobics and feel comfortable.

I think that the top fits comfortably. It is a little full but definitely not an oversized full... if that makes sense. I've purchased tips in my side before that were uncomfortably snug and I ended up wearing a top over it, I don't have to di that with this top. It's great. I'm a size large (38DD) so I may be larger than the others who answered. I did not show my sports bra lines. I hope this helped.
