HAS BEEN WORN/WASHED - it did not fit at all wasn't worn more than a few hours total.
Manufacturer's description: Superior compressive fabric offers maximum support to keep you in place for any activity. In the back, strategically placed MicroPerle™ beads are mapped along the body's lymphatic vessels to offer a micro-massage as you move. More here
*Gina's note: I bought this and the leggings (pandemic-shopping) after a deep-dive into trying to solve some health issues that involved lymphatic drainage problems. The science sounded a little kooky but I was desperate. OMG the leggings are the bomb - the little beads stick to your skin so as you move they pull a bit differently than the fabric, and they do, indeed, create a massaging effect. It feels weird at first but it is invigorating and they definitely perform as advertised. My legs felt better when I wore them after being on my feet on concrete all day packing orders, and my feet/ankles were less swollen at the end of the day. The fabric is plenty opaque so no see-through issues but it's not very warm so I wear them as a layer under sweatpants.
The top was an enormous disappointment in the fact that it didn't fit me. I am a DD+ cup and the band wasn't snug enough to keep things where they were supposed to be (read: I fell/oozed out the bottom) I resisted rehoming it for well over a year, thinking if I lost weight it would fit better. I did and it didn't. The band is just a tad too loose. Medium is what the manufacturer's size chart says I should wear, but it doesn't work for me. My measurement for the band is exactly 30 1/2" - so I would expect this bra would fit someone a couple inches bigger here, and a much smaller cup size. Reinforcing this suspicion is the fact that all the models shown wearing this garment here are quite small-busted. The massaging rubber bead things are all across the back so anyone using their arms/shoulders all day would likely find this as invigorating as I do my leggings. It's decorated with cute little moon phase graphics on front and back and is plenty tasteful to wear alone as a cropped tank. (note: the model photos are not imprinted with the moons like the bra that is selling is, but they do depict the style and fit accurately)
Width across the band, laying flat and not stretched = 13 1/2"
These garments are well-made - my leggings have been worn and washed many times and are still like new. There's another pre-worn top like this in blue on Poshmark for $85! here
