Lorna Jane Ella and April Bras

*UPDATE - Lorna Jane buy 2 for 20% has been extended through June 27!*

Last week I took advantage of the Lorna Jane "2 Sports bras or tanks for $100" promotion. I ordered the Ella Bra in watermelon and the April Bra in cornflower. I was a little nervous about the sizing. I ordered a size small using the chart despite being a size medium in most sports bras. According to the size chart, a size medium would have been too loose around the band...but I was also worried that a size small would be too small as a cup. (I'm a 32/33 D so my sizing can be a little tricky.)

I was really excited to try the bras on when I pulled them out of packaging. The colors were nice and vibrant, and the material was high quality. Even without trying them on, I could tell that the cups used were thick and good quality.

I didn't know what shade to expect when I ordered this bra. The photo looked a little red, but the description was watermelon. It was a little in-between red and pink...it wasn't a true red but definitely what I would consider as watermelon.

The back reminded me of a cross between Lululemon's Energy Bra and Water Bound Bra. I liked that  Lorna Jane's Ella Bra had a thinner band on the back and flatter straps.

As you can see in the photo, the straps were thin and not puffy-like. I liked that they were more like ribbon. Lululemon's Energy Bra sometimes cuts into my back because of the heavy straps.

The fit was nice for a size small. I'm really tempted to try a size medium, but I think the band would have been too loose on a larger size. (I wish we had a local store!) Even with a size small, I think the Ella Bra had good structure in the front and didn't cut into my back.

I really liked the blue in Lorna Jane's April bra. It is a really pretty, vibrant blue. The material and quality is the same as my other bra.

I was also interested in this bra because of the thin bands and pretty straps. Lorna Jane's bras have really pretty backs. I liked that you could adjust all of straps on this bra unlike the Ella Bra.

I need to play around with the sizing, but every strap is adjustable.

I was a teensy bit lazy this morning and need to adjust the straps. The front is slightly twisted, but you can see there is a double strap in the front. The straps in the back laid flat without digging in. The back looks like it is a little on the high side, but that will be fixed when I play around with the strap length.

Overall, I'm really impressed with Lorna Jane's sports bras! Victoria's Secret VSX Angel Bras were my favorite, but I would say the quality is just as good. I definitely like the fit better than my Lululemon sports bras although they are a little on the pricey side. I highly recommend snatching a few of these up when they are running a promotion!
