Here I am, post-workout, still wearing my Incredible By Victoria's Secret Sport Bra and Knockout By Victoria's Secret Tight. Verdict: Love the pants, not CRAZY about the bra. Here's the deets:
(Excuse the terrible photo, but I'm not in-shape enough for you to see me without the shirt. The bra is black. The shirt is not VS.)
Incredible By Victoria's Secret Sport Bra: I was sent this item in my regular Victoria's Secret bra size: 36 C. I have a couple of Victoria's Secret push-up bras, and they're definitely C's. Perfect fit. However, the sports bra was not a perfect fit. I had to return to the store to exchange it for a 36 B. (Read about that crazy experience, here.) The B fit so much better. So, if you're going to get this sports bra, I'd advise trying a cup size lower than usual. Especially if you're like me, and wear push-ups 100% of the time. The bra felt great when I was trying it on, but after wearing it for a while, I could notice all the parts that bugged me. I am actually a very un-even girl. I honestly wish they made bras with one cup smaller than the other. Because really, who has completely even boobs? My left is significantly larger than my right. (Gettin' real personal here.) So, there's an obnoxious gap on the right side of this bra, and it kinda drives me INSANE. But that's not really something that Victoria's Secret did wrong, so that's a "just me" issue. But the big issue I'm having is the way the underwire is made. There's an underwire that goes all the way from under the cups, up to the top of the bra at the sternum. Where the two underwires come together in the front center, it's almost like there's a piece of plastic or cardboard, right between your boobs. I guess this is great for busty-er girls, who have a problem with too much cleavage and sweat there. For me, it's incredibly uncomfortable. I feel like it restrains my movement a little. I wish it was more flexible in this zone. It's not that hard anywhere else on the bra. The best thing about the bra is the STRAPS! I absolutely adore how much cushion in in the straps, and I don't get any red lines on my shoulders from wearing it for a long time. Also because of all the padding in the straps, they don't curl or anything while you're moving, like many sports bras. I do wish the straps were adjustable, though. The back is adjustable, with a regular bra closure. I feel the quality is fantastic, and I'll still wear this bra every time I workout. There's just a couple of flaws that I had to point out. It's comfortable, and I don't get smelly sweaty like I do with regular bras. I just would probably choose a different sport bra from Victorias Secret's line, if it were up to me.
(SO MUCH CAT HAIR. That is NOT included with the pants. That's the product of my crazy white cat. )
Knockout By Victoria's Secret Tight: Oh my gosh! These pants!!!! I'm in love!!!! I have other workout tights that are decent, but these are my new favorites! They're extremely soft. They pull me all in and make me look thinner in my belly and my thighs. I can pull them up a little so they're more of a capri-length, and they don't look absolutely ridiculous. They're crazy comfortable, and I didn't even sweat out in the hot Florida sun. Fantastic pants! I feel like I'm not even wearing anything! Amazing! I definitely recommend these pants. They are also stitched extra well in the crotch, so no worries on splitting your pants while you squat! Amazeballs. Go buy them, right now!!!
So, there you go. My Victoria's Secret Sport review. This is my first time having Victorias Secret Sport products, and I must say, I do believe I'll get more. Especially since they just sent me a gift card because of my difficult time exchanging.
