The Verve Lorelli Top is one of the best fitting sports bras I own. Unlike most sports bras, which are designed to hunker down and strap the boulder to the shoulder, the Verve Lorelli was designed with motion and all-sport application in mind.
Verve stresses quality of materials and craftsmanship. The Lorelli offers a Cool Max fabric next to skin, which is soft and moisture wicking. The cross back straps are independent from each other to allow full range of motion in your yoga practice or day at the crag. The Lorelli top is finished with a layer of an organic cotton/ Lycra blend.
If you fall in the A or B range, the Lorelli will be one of your favorite pieces. The Verve Lorelli is amazingly flattering for modest to moderate busts. It gives a soft perk without the risk of falling out of your top. If you fall into the C or D range I would veer away from the Lorelli and consider the standard Verve Bra. The Verve Bra still avoids the uni-boob effect, but has a bit more coverage, as the perk the Lorelli offers might put a larger bust over the edge.
Verve clothing is quality and simple. Verve is the kind of apparel that makes you notice the climber or yogini and not be distracted by some flashy top. Verve Clothing, based in Boulder, Colorado, has four rockin’ seamstresses who work from their homes and sign each Lorelli or Verve piece they build. This elite crew is known as the Verve Grannies. You can look up the Granny who sewed your Lorelli, check out her pic and learn a bit about the woman. Brenda sewed my top, and she did a fine job.

I have had been wearing my Lorelli for over a year. It is the top I sweat in for Birkram sessions (yoga in a room heated to 112 degrees…) and climbing days that are so nice that I simply cannot be bothered with a shirt. The Lorelli top has held up against the granite I press and slide it up against, a hundred or so washings, and also doubles a swim top for those impromptu desert rivers or a hot spring on the way home from the crag.
