Fruit of the Loom Women's T-Shirt Bra

I'm not sure where to start here. Maybe with, I can't believe how much I love this bra!My favorite workhorse bra is not Fruit or cotton, and it comes in both wired and wireless. I recently tried to convert to wireless because, to this bra's credit, there was no difference in level of support or how the girls looked, so I thought, who needs a wire anymore? Well, apparently I do, because balconettes don't breathe on this particular body, not even all cotton ones, like Fruit's wireless sister to this bra, which I had to return because it, too, hotboxed me. I converted my bra universe back to wired, which seems to breathe fine even in not-cotton with my workhorse bra. So, why am I even here? A good question I keep asking myself! Hehe! I live in the desert, where cotton is mandatory in the summer. I guess I just wanted a lighter, more comfortable alternative for less-visible looks, or weather dictated I need one.I couldn't believe my luck when I found this bra. Three things struck me immediately: 1. The shape of the cups is EXACTLY like my workhorse bra! 2. A similar, if not quite as plentiful, assortment of pretty colors, and 3. The low and lovely price! The construction of this bra is downright flimsy compared to workhorse bra, but the look is exactly the same. It just feels a lot lighter and airier in there! This bra only has two hooks in my size, but it somehow manages to perform like a taller 4- or 5-hook band and smooth everything out. The plastic rings holding the straps to the bra are probably going to snap eventually unless they're more flexible than they appear, but at this price point, the bra is easily and inexpensively replaced.I have two tips for the tatas I would like to share before signing off. First, READ FRUIT OF THE LOOM'S SIZE CHART!!! Do NOT assume your normal size is the same here! Fruit assigns different band numbers to underbust measurements, and sometimes their size chart isn't even correct for itself. You must do your own math too. Brands can assign any number they want to a band length, but cups should be standard everywhere to the underbust, not to the band length. Meaning, if your underbust is 30" and overbust is 31", you're an A cup. 32" overbust you'd be a B, 33" a C and so on. The brands can say 30" is a 32 in the bra length, but that doesn't change how many inches you actually have. I'm a good case in point: My underbust is approx. 39.5" and my overbust is 44". By ruler and most American brands, I'm a 40D, yet Fruit assigns my underbust to a 44 band length. They have on some of their size charts 40D shown with a 48" overbust. In what universe? That would be a G cup! Again, I say, you must do your own math!To further complicate the sizing issue, Fruit doesn't make this bra in 44D. I freaked when I didn't even see it grayed-out in the size menu. I ordered as close as I could get in 42D, and it fits beautifully! The cups seemed a little large compared to workhorse bra in my usual size of 40D, but adjusting the straps took care of that. I can only be glad they didn't have my recommended size or the cups might have been up to my chin! The 42 band length is shorter lengthwise than 40D workhorse bra; it's probably more like 38" in reality, but it works due to the stretch and softness of the cotton. The support, shape, smoothing and lift are 99% the same as workhorse. The comfort is off the charts! This bra is downright heavenly. :)To keep it that way, here's my second tip: When you wash these lovely, lined bras in the washing machine, use cold water, a delicate, low-spin cycle, and put them into a hosiery bag if you have one large enough. If not, use a pillowcase. They work equally well! Tie a loose knot to keep the bras inside. Loose being the operative word, otherwise you'll struggle to open it afterwards when wet. I've never dried my bras in the dryer, I just lay them out on the bed, smooth the cups and flip them later to be sure they're completely dry. The bras will keep their shape longer and the colors will remain more vibrant if heat is avoided.Now stop reading and go get yourself a 3-pack! :)

Hanes was my go-to brand when I needed a smaller cup due to the weight I lost. Before I put on one of the bras, I set the straps at their longest. It fit. I've got cleavage too. The cups fit. It's a great t-shirt bra! It supports. I trust Hanes to provide materials that are good for me too.I wouldn't recommend these bras for a long in the trunk or tall woman. Because the straps just barely fit my petite frame.I appreciate the different colors, so I can remember which bra of the day needs to be washed. Between one package of sports bras and this package, I'm well covered.Thanks, Hanes.

I love these bras for every day comfort. I appreciate that they are cotton as I live in a humid climate and am large breasted thus other synthetic bra fabrics tend to make me sweat and stink after a while. These breath. The only hiccup I have experienced is that the top of the cup seems to curl forward after washing. I've tried laying them flat to dry, etc but it still happens. Its a non issue under looser fitting or thicker tops but it certainly isnt smooth under more fitted or thinner clothes so this is not an end all be all bra for me but more of a work from home, run errands, winter, etc. bra. I have read other reviewers having this issue and it seems we all machine washed on delicate so I just ordered more and will hand wash in cold to see if I get better results. Either way, I think these are a great economical choice for an everyday casual cotton bra.

I bought these and they seem to not stretch as much as I thought they would and seem to fit me a little small but I probably just need to size up, on the plus size they look really flattering from the front and I would try getting a bigger size next time. Other than that they are soft.

Love this product! I use to buy these bras at Walmart but they discontinue them for whatever dumb reason! These bras are so comfortable, true to size! Trust me they are! Because I find it very difficult to find good bras. They last for a year and a half if you obviously butly half a dozen or so you don't wear the same ones over and over. Some people say that they don't last long because they only buy the 1 set of three and wear all yr long!!! I mean come on, they will wear out with usage, washing etc. So get 2 sets!!! When I can't afford my Lane Bryant bras I buy these. Lane Bryant's are amazing but way too pricey.

Even though they run a little tight on the band these are just what I've been looking for. They don't make you stand out in the front like some do but , you know you are getting the support you need. I recommend these if you want support and not overly pushing out in the front, just me, as I am. Thank you !

I spent over a week looking for a bra that would I love and not just toss to the instantly. I live in a small town and have to travel over an hour to go cloths shopping. So yes I use Amazon alllll the time! When it comes to buying certain things like bras… it’s so hard to shop online. I read hundreds of reviews and compared so many bras before I finally decided to try this one. So if your like me I always look for the reviews that are from woman that are about my size. And it’s hard to find reviews that answer the questions I am asking. First of all I am 5’6” and 208lbs. My bra size fluctuates between brands but I ordered a 40 DD and it fits perfectly. The quality seems to be amazing, they are so comfortable, and supportive. If your looking for a great T shirt bra I highly recommend this one!

I absolutely hate shopping for bras, so I took a chance and purchased these online, I love them! Super comfortable and fit nicely and no underwire to digging into your skin. Would purchase again!

These worked perfect for my teenage daughter. Comfortable and great quality

Very true to size. I love these they’re so comfortable they truly are. The colours are also pretty the latches are durable and so are the straps.

Fit great when arrived. Warped a little with washing, was able to smooth them out and air dry. Not bad just not very long lasting.

These are comfy but the corner stitching may be a bit off- doesn’t quite affect the fit but can be mildly annoying from time to time.The fabric is great and I would definitely buy again- I may have gotten an ‘off’ pack.
