I typically wear a size M in women's clothing or a size L in brands aimed at teens - I ordered the XL bralette in hopes that it would offer a comfortable fit, and boy was I disappointed. The bralette featured a very tight band that made it super uncomfortable. Otherwise, I think it was fine, but it was an immediate NO based on the band. If I'm ordering a bralette, it's because I want something comfortable that offers minimal support. Making them fit like a too-tight sports bra around the band is not necessary. I've tried around 5 different similar bralettes from other brands so far and none of them have been what I'm looking for - light support, supreme comfort, pads included, and small straps. This one would fit the bill if you'd just make them fit people correctly and ditch the tight band.
