The fabric is scratchy, and both of the underwires popped out the center within the first month of wear. Pretty good immediate projection, though.

Like the 44F I tried in this same style, the band would be fine with an extender until it softened up. It stretches, but it feels quite firm. The cups are just entirely too small. Pretty looking bra, though!

This is a really lovely, soft bra, but I think it's actually a bit... fussy for me. The lace, the ribbon, the pompoms and bows - I've been wearing it while sick in bed this week, and I've found myself folding the top of the lace down and stroking the lovely, soft, sheeny purply fabric underneath and wishing I could take off all this extra stuff. So while visually appealing, I definitely prefer something a bit more simple.
At only 12 inches in depth, this is measuring about a half to a full inch smaller than I expected it to based on sister sizing, but the fit is okay. ... My breasts are center heavy so while there's occasionally a bit of bubbling toward the center of my larger breast, my breasts are not able to push the gore out of the way as they do with some bras.
The gore is a tiny bit wide for me. It rests a bit on breast tissue at the top. I may or may not alter it - it isn't uncomfortable, but as a result the gore sometimes floats about a quarter of an inch. Still, everything feels very supported, and I'm getting excellent lift, as expected from Ewa. The band is quite tight, too, requiring an extender even to fasten it. I've been wearing 42 in UK sizes lately, so this is fitting more like a 40 than a 44.
All in all, happy to have got this in the sale, and I'll keep it, but now that I've got my size narrowed done I'm not sure I'm in any hurry to order again. I need a bit more room for center fullness, and it seems like the cup depth varies so wildly from model to model, even in the same S style, that it's hard to know what you'll really be getting.
TL;DR: Beautiful bra, narrow wires, good uplift, okay immediate projection, could use more room for center heaviness, gore medium width.
My breasts: soft tissue, immediate and center projection galore, short and narrow roots, close set

Great projection at the wire, and the construction is such that even though it's clearly too small I still feel relatively contained. There is a large difference between this and the next size up in the 3HC style, however - the cup width changes from 6.5 inches to just over 7.

Stretchy band, soft wires, wide and shallow cups. Not a good match for pendulous, FOT breasts.

This seems to fit fairly well although it doesn't stay in my IMF and the straps are horrible, horrible, horrible, and so uncomfortable I'd return it if I hadn't bought it blind from zulily in a sudden fit of confidence inspired by bratabase measurements. I also get some buckling at the bottom of the cup, but it'll be a fine nude for now.
Update: I wore this to work yesterday, and holy cow were the straps awful. They were too stretchy to give any support at all, curled up around the edges so they were in a weird roll, and left horrible red marks on my shoulders. Do not recommend.

This one seems to fit me a tiny bit better than the Sculptresse Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695) , and it gives me a more rounded shape and stays closer to my IMF (though not perfectly in it - I haven't found one that does yet.) I did alter the band to make it firmer - it felt fine when I first put it on, but it seems to stretch out pretty quickly. I really probably need a 44G in this, but I got it for a good price on ebay and shortening the band is so easy that I don't mind. Also, the gore is a little shorter than the Chi-Chi and doesn't bother me at all.

The band is very firm on this, so while it stretches to 44 in., it still feels quite tight. If I were keeping it, I'd probably wear it with an extender until it softens up a bit. The cups are also too small - they cut in to my tissue on the top, and I've got spillage out the sides. It's a lovely bra, and it seems like it has enough immediate projection for me, but I haven't found the right size for me yet.

I got sadboob in this bra, that weird shape you get when you need the next size up in a curvy kate bra. Sadly, I don't think they make a 44G in this, or even a 42GG.
Pros: - Good projection at the wire - not as good as Comexim 3HC, but pretty good nonetheless.
- Narrow cups.
- I like the look of the sheer black fabric with the little dreamcatchers on it.
Cons: - Scratchy fabric

Lovely fabric, tight band, beautiful uplift, but just not projected enough at the wire. It kept sliding out of my IMF, and as a result the whole bra would slide down just a bit and the gore began to float. No idea how I fit the 12.8 inch cup - possibly because the cup was quite tall?
