I'm considering this as a gift. Everyone says it fits true to size, but my mom has large breasts (over DD). Any advice with this issue and an XL(+)?

This item does not fit true to size. I own the parka in Xl and it is snug. I just ordered it in 2X. Columbia typically runs small so order up!

I usually wear an XL and had to get this in a 1X in order to have room to move.

I have this and it's pretty slim fitting; my breasts are very large as well and the jacket fits very tightly over the chest, I leave it unzipped if possible.

Its hard to judge BC I got the wrong size Lol I'm around the same measurements I'd say get an XL to be safe. Mines incredibly too big at XXL so I'm sure a L would fit okay, XL would definitely fit, maybe be a little big even

I have small breasts, so I can't answer for you. Since it's from Amazon, you can probably return it if it isn't satisfactory, but it's heavy so the return shipping would be significant.

It would be best to contact the seller . I ordered mine based on my blouse size and was way off. I returned it and the sales lady was very helpful in getting me into the proper size. They actually sent me two jackets of different sizes to allow me to choose the best fit. I originally ordered a size 20 and wound up with a size 14. Although I had to pay for the return, they were prompt in crediting my account. I love the jacket.

Go 1 size up. Speedo is true to size, but TYR runs smaller. I can't speak to chest size, as I'm a 36B but I know these are not made for special breast size. I would recommend not going any other way than a line made for a full chested woman. Just my opinion.

hi. I ordered a XXL. I am size 18 in clothes. chest 38DD waist 37 hips 50 and I am 5'1". this fits perfectly. it is "firm" to wear. I have another suit I wear but it does not "hold" as well. when I exercise in the pool everything stays put in this one. I hope this helps

What is your bra size Carolyn? Sorry to pry but it makes a difference. It can give someone with a b cup size a c cup size or maybe more but it depends on the size of the rest of you. I am a bigger girl so even though I wear a B it wouldn't fill a C cup if the C cup was too big. Someone in a size range up to a size 14 I would say yes and if you are on the smaller end of that than maybe even two cup sizes. Above a 14 and it will add something but maybe/maybe not a full cup size. Above a size 20 and it will just be a bit of filler for anyone with a B cup and above.

We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete. I am busty but could probably wear the L, but I like the looseness (and its cheaper just to share the ones we have) Tight when working out is uncomfortable for me. We actually haven't opened the 5XL yet. My husband is a 3XLT, so to accommodate for liking it loose we ordered two sizes larger. They definitely make you sweat. Best to take off outdoors when you're done with your workout.I just noticed the reply below about the ripping/tearing. We've only had to replace ONE suit and I wash after every work out. I wash, use downy on the rinse cycle, and then hang to dry. We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete.

Hen, you probably want it a little large to go over other wear. I'm 66" and stocky and an XL works great for me. Nice and loose but not too loose. My chest is about 44" so I'd say probably Med or large depending on how loose you want. I don't find mine too long even tho I'm short. U may find a large a little long. So, there you have it. Good Luck. Looser is probably better, my wife's wisdom. My wife who is 5'11" and bigger around than you wear's a men's medium (usually), so looser would be a large, but length. . .?

I think there is a sizing chart on the back of the box (try going to the companies site to see if they have it online). It is comes with a zip in/out insert (about a couple of inches) that makes the bra smaller or larger as needed. And it has velcro at the back to make adjustments there as well.

I believe these tops run true to size. I do not believe that the top is clingy. On me, you can not see my bra lines in the front, of course you can see them in the back. I only wear this brand of top to the gym when I workout. I absolutely love this top, I have it in 7 colors so far.

I'm a 38DD and a size 14. Works great for me :) I think someone could be several sizes larger and it would still be ok.

Not sure it would work right, i am an XL also and I tried it on just for the feel, also to be able to respond to questions just like this one. I found the straps rubbed against my underarm area weird, and it felt weird with my bra on also(but a man would not have this issue). If it was the bigger size one obviously it probably would have fit and felt a lot better, but it was purchased for my mom who is a size petite small and she loves it. Just an fyi the straps are adjustable, you just can't see that by picture very well. hope it helps happy brace shopping.

I would say it's closer to an XL for women, which is usually a youth XL as well. I usually wear a size large in tops at most stores (I have a decent-sized chest), and I bought the XL...it fits me pretty well with just enough room for a thick tee shirt or thin sweater under it. It's definitely NOT an XL in men's. Hope this helps. :)

Can I ask what you ended up getting for your Berner. We have a Berner also and the xl at 4" seems a little large. I don't want them so tight it is uncomfortable though. She is 100 lbs and getting weak in the hips.

Hi- Happy to help, if I can. I ordered a S/M and I am an averaged sized woman. It is very comfortable and really, really did help me. If you are a man, I would go up to the M/L size. Hope this helps. Deb
