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.

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. :)

I am not able to address your size question but I would not recommend this bra for her cup size. It does not provide enough support.

Hi Nicole, are you happy with the small or would an XS have worked better for you? I am also your about size (5' 6", 114 lbs, with a small chest and shoulders). Thanks! -Maria

I'm a 36C and ordered the large. It fits close and keeps me from bouncing, but isn't uncomfortable in any way. I ordered the gray and then ordered 2 more because they're my favorite gym bras. I don't know if the medium would be too tight or if it would just offer more support. I don't like to be squeezed so I'm staying with the large. They wash really well too. I don't put them in the dryer but they dry really fast hanging up.

I usually wear a medium and I bought an XL however at the time of purchase I was about 10 months post partum, still nursing, and was wearing large-XL. I would say medium if you don't want it skin tight. I think it might be baggy on me now that i'm back down to a medium. it was actually perfect for me at that time, didn't stick to my childbearing belly whether wet or dry. I think had I gotten a large it would have shown my form more (fitted), which I didn't want. one size over should do it. HTH!

I am a female with a 38 chest but I have the small/medium. It works great. As another reviewer said you slide your arm through and tighten it. i think you might want to try the large/xlarge. Call the company and ask them.

Not really. I wear a DD and it didn't work for me. Had to use it for something else.

I'm a 36B and got the small/medium but it gets tight sometimes, I would agree with the large/xl. All the straps are adjustable so you should be able to synch it down to fit perfectly even if it starts a little large.

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. . .?

Not sure about your measurements, but I am a little chesty and the Small/Medium is too big for me. Not overweight, and I have a pretty wide chest. If you have a Sports Authority nearby, they carry these. You can try it on to see if it will fit, but I think the average sized woman should be able to fit into the Small/Medium without any real difficulty.

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 am a 3x and it does not fit over my shoulders. 2x its tight and 1x/smaller it fits nicely if you are a M/L then its going to be like a dress on you. Make sure to measure your chest to see it only fits a 48, i did not read this or do this and im a 52.

Ok just speaking for myself and my experience. I am NOWHERE near your bra size. I am teeny, always have been since ballet when I was young. I am 5' 4" and around 128-130. Frighteningly for me I had to go with a Large in this suit. It fits comfortably but not very loose so is secure for swimming laps. All I can say is if I had a hard time getting into a large I really can't imagine you fitting into. Large. But you can always order and try and return in case I am wrong. Not sure if this helps but hope so. I think you would have better luck with anXL or more in the Sporti brand unitard. Good luck!

I have it adjusted to size 14 with bust size 40 DD. Looks like there might be a little moe adjusting available but not more than 1 size,

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

I wear a 34b as a bra size regularly. And I picked a medium based on someone else's review. I found a medium was a true fit.
