Description of Moving Comfort Women's Fiona Bra
Our #1 selling bra, the favorite that women buy in multiples, is always in the gym bag ready to wear. Front adjustable straps offer unsurpassed levels of comfort and custom fit.Moving Comfort's most popular sports bra, the Fiona features seam-free molded cups with one-way stretch powermesh that encapsulates the breasts for support and limits up and down movement. This means that you can maintain the shape of your bust, while still receiving the high level of support and movement control that you expect from a sports bra. Two-way stretch powermesh on the back of the bra provides extra-firm support, while front adjustable straps with flattering design lines and a concealed hook-and-loop closure provide a perfect fit and enhance support. The wide-banded back will not bite into your sides and is fastened with three plush-backed hook-and-eye rows. Bras with bands sized 40 to 44 have a fourth row on the band. The Fiona Bra is constructed with fabrics that manage moisture for high-intensity activities.
Designed for high-impact sports, the Fiona features combined encapsulation and compression support. The encapsulation bra cup construction surrounds the breast to give support and shaping, protecting the breast tissue from horizontal, vertical, and circular motion during sports. Compression bra construction redistributes breast tissue to evenly press against the chest wall limiting overall motion. The Fiona is an exceptional sports bra, designed to flatter a woman's form, while offering optimum fit and comfort performance.

Find Your Fit:
- Band: Should be slightly more snug than a lingerie bra. Make sure you can comfortably take a deep breath with the bra fastened on the middle hook. Be sure the band doesn't ride up in the back. If it does, the band may be too loose and/or the straps need to be adjusted.
- Cups: Adjust your breasts for a proper fit. They should be completely held within the cups without overflowing. Fabric should be smooth. Wrinkles or puckers indicate the cup is too big. Underwire should sit on your ribcage below the breast tissue and follow your natural shape.
- Straps: Should offer minimal stretch to reduce up-and-down breast movement. Wider straps will disperse the weight and feel more comfortable. Straps should not dig in or slide off your shoulders. Adjustable straps offer a more custom fit.
About Moving Comfort:
Two female runners founded Moving Comfort in 1977 before there were women's workout clothes. In the 30-plus years since the founding, the company hasn't strayed from its original purpose. Moving Comfort uses high-quality, performance fabrics that have the right amount of stretch, perfect quick-wicking moisture management, and a healthy amount of comfort--cut exactly for a woman's body.
Moving Comfort follows the following guidelines in constructing high-performance athletic wear for women:
Moving means moving: The how doesn't matter--running, walking, weight training, yoga, martial arts, skiing, snowshoeing, rock climbing, horseback riding, golf, tennis, basketball, volleyball, soccer, inline skating...Moving Comfort naturally understands and designs clothes for a woman's body, whatever that body was meant to do.
Quality comes first: Moving Comfort understands the kind of support and freedom needed in clothing, and how that clothing should feel against the skin. The company knows what keeps women warm and dry when it's cold and cool and dry when it's hot. Knowledge, expertise and high standards shape the fit, fabric and function of every garment Moving Comfort designs.
Fit affects everything: Keeping fit improves every aspect of a woman's life--reducing the incidence of heart disease, breast cancer, osteoporosis, depression, and drug and alcohol abuse. If a girl or woman is more comfortable when she's working out, she's more likely to keep at it. That's why Moving Comfort views its technical garments--and the great fit of each piece--as a means to encourage women to get fit and stay fit.

I have never written an Amazon review before in hundreds of purchases. I'm so pleased with this bra, though, that I must say so. It is great for D cup and larger women. I can wear these all day, even. Just bought two more!!Customer Review: Excellent support for "bustier" women

I love this bra! I wear it so much I need another one. I can never seem to find the right fit for a sports bras, but this one has excellent support and comfort!Customer Review: Reducing from 4 stars to 3 stars for fraying!
Rating: 4 Stars
This bra does reduce the bounce when riding and it is comfortable enough to wear from an equestrian point of view. It's soft and doesn't pinch or bind when walking or in the saddle and that is a huge plus over several other brands out there.
If you are a truly large bust size (DD and E cups or larger, we know who we are) then this bra will in fact be helpful in a number of ways when you're exercising. It does minimize the bounce and subsequent soreness later. It does offer some stability on the front side if you are a rider and fight that tendency to "tip" forward in the saddle. The straps did not drift around nor did they pinch or dig into my shoulder either while tacking up my horses.
There are two reasons that I am giving this bra only four stars instead of five.
1. It's hard to do up by yourself. The hooks in the back are small and difficult to attach without eyes in the back of your head or a second person. Doing the old hook it up in front and twist it around to the back and pull it up thing you do with a regular bra just doesn't work well with this one. Front closures would make this bra one I would consider buying multiples of in every color.
2. My husband's first comment upon seeing me in this sport bra was "You now have a uni-boob".
So... the trade off is good support, no pinching or binding or excessive bouncing while you ride, but your once lovely bosum is now a uni-boob. Thus the four stars.
After wearing this bra 3 days in a row in 104 degree temperatures during a horse show and washing it out at night in the hotel room, I am amending my intial review and taking back 1 star! Here's the problem.... The bra began to fray in two places by the end of the second day. The first spot is along the rib band in the back and the frayed area is about the size of a quarter and by the end of the 3rd day it was almost all the way through the band. This is just really poor quality materials - it cannot stand up to friction and wear against the body for 3 consecutive days. It has frayed on the INSIDE of the band against the skin. The second frayed area is on the inside on the front of the left cup. The wear is not along seam either, that I could accept as being a fluke or just a weak spot.
Additionally the two frayed areas began to rub on day 3 and were starting to cause red irritated spots against my skin, so I had to ditch the Moving Comfort Fiona Bra all together and go back to the old Enell standby that is 4 years old. I will not be purchasing any other Moving Comfort products again - in the future I will pay the $60 for the high quality Enell bras.
