How is the fit on the KOS / ActiveYou clothing?

[amy_b]

The only thing I can find is a size chart with sizes like 0-2, 4-6, 8-10, etc. I'm trying to figure out what size bra top and/or tankini I would need and what size pants. I wear a 34-C bra and size 6 Levi's, usually. In clothing that is cut for women and not jr's it would usually be a 4.
Is the tankini a super tight fit? Do you find that the shelf bra is adequate? I wouldn't think so.

(one more question that is a little bit "personal"- if you wear the little bra top as your workout top, how do you keep from showing more than you wish...how shall I put it.. I don't like to have two points showing on my top.)

I don't have the same build as you but I can tell you what I wear. I'm typically a size 2 on the bottoms & the smalls fit exactly right. I'm a 36A & I got the tops in medium--I'm very broad in the back & shoulders but also small chested, so obviously the shelf bra is A-OK for me but the top still fits pretty snugly around the back.

As far as the headlights go, there are two solutions: 1) wearing an additional bra underneath, which I absolutely refuse to do--athletic tops already flatten me enough, I sure don't need the double whammy! And/or 2) working out where it's warm. Not always under your control if you're at the gym.

the fit is amazing! I am a size 2 and the small fit well....but they are too long because I"m really short - 5"3. I have to have them hemmed. The bra top is fine and I'm a 34 B in bra size. HOpe that helps!

The material is pretty stretchy. I am a 34B and purchased the small tankini (I bought medium pants as I've gained some pounds this year and am wearing a size 6). Around the torso, the top is a bit loose for me. However, I'm kind of busty so filled that part out a bit too well... I do have a strange shape given that I'm pretty narrow around the chest.

I do love the pants. They are a great cut and feel great. Like others, I invested the money to have them altered (around 5 inches or so).

I'm a 34A on top and the bra tops in small fit very well. My DH loves the "two points" showing and said I could order more - obviously I only work out at home and not at the gym or I would be more concerned about this. I ordered the purple tank in small but returned it for a medium. I'm little thick waisted (26") and didn't like it fitting so snuggly.

I ordered the plain black pants in small and they fit wonderfully. Sharon talked me into ordering the pink banded pants in a medium and they fit great also. I'm a 4 in ladies and a 5/7 in juniors depending on the brand of pant. Just have your measurements written down when you call Sharon and she did a real good job of predicting what I would wear. They are wonderful!!

I bought the lime-banded black pants in medium and the matching bra top in a small. Everything fits perfectly! I'm a 34A and just shy of 5'6" tall. I usually wear a 5 or 7 in juniors.

When I took the pants out of the package I worred they'd be too small -- but they're wonderful! So stretchy and move with you -- nothing goes where it doesn't belong.

These are the most comfortable workout clothes I've ever worn without a doubt. I will definitely be ordering more from Sharon. She was a great help in ordering the perfect size for me over the phone.

These clothes are great! Have fun!

Hi Amy,

I seem to be built similar to you......I am also a 34 C and usually a 6 at times a wanna be 4 depending of course on the manufacturer. The tankini is very form fitting....I got a large because I don't like my tops to fit too tight, I like a little breathing room, lol!! It fits well. The shelf bra is definitely NOT adequate, I wear a sports bra underneath. As far as the cami bra tops go, they are comfortable but if you are just going to wear the bra top for a Cathe workout then you better wear a sports bra underneath}( !! I hope that helps you!

Thanks, all! For all the input! I sort of wondered with the "headlights thing" if there was some sort of girls' secret that I had missed out on back in the day- bandaids or something??
I placed my order for mediums and hopefully that will do well for me. I'm sort of wondering about that tankini- I don't like to be squeezed to death, either. I may call her this morning and change that.
Thanks so much again! I appreciate all your answers and I'm looking forward to getting my pink bra top, tankini, pants and jacket!
