The Bella Sport Top
This is a pretty top with a shelf bra and thin straps that crossover in the back. It comes with thin removable padding in the bra. The pads add a tiny bit of shape, but not much volume, to the bra top. I couldn't get the pads to smooth out well enough to look natural, though. I thought the best use would be for those who find that shelf bras don't cover the nipples well enough. Taking the pads out, which PrAna recommends for washing, was easy enough but I got the feeling it was not something I would want to do often (now where did those pads get to?). $46.00The Erin Top
The Erin Top
(c)PrAna
LOVE it. This is the one for me. Simple, but cut with the real body in mind (as in I need a little flare for my hips and breathing room around the ribs). The Erin has an interesting cut-out back that still gives a lot of structure and coverage. $48.00
The Pearl Top
Doggone it - definitely my size, M, but definitely too tight. I wore the Pearl for a while but had to release myself from it before the length of a class was up. I have my preferences and they run toward natural fit. If you like to be really held (and may women do) by your top, this one will do it and its very good looking. On the one I tried, a two tone effect with a line of color coming in on a diagonal from back to front made it interesting and flattering. (see pic top of pg. 1) $48.00
