Just a frustrated mini-rant. :)
Why can I not find a simple, smooth cup, nude t-shirt bra in my size that actually fits and matches my shape, and disappears beneath clothing? Ugh.
I measure 26DD but have been wearing 28D. My breasts are spaced pretty far apart, splayed, conical, full and projected on bottom and outsides, shallow in center but especially on top, and my roots are very broad and tall (but the tallness doesn't usually matter much fit-wise, due to how shallow they are above the nipple).
I'm finding it very difficult to find bras in my size and shape that actually come in a nude color at all -- the only options I've found are basically just Cleo's Maddie and Neve Plunge -- but both seem like they'd show through shirts pretty easily on that top edge. Jude works well enough for me, but I can't seem to find the nude color in 28D anywhere, and the wires on my blue one are pretty uncomfortable.
I've got Panache Ardour arriving from Amazon tomorrow, which I have high hopes for, but I could only buy it in mulberry -- the smallest nude they have available is 28DD, and I'm worried that would be too big. Here's hoping it runs small and I need to exchange for larger, I guess? Meh.

For me, the Panache Black Ardour fits very well, and it is on the smaller side of 28DD. The band was a bit loose for me, I got it altered, but otherwise it fits me really well. It should be available in 28D also. Not sure though, what is on their website isn´t always correct. I think if Maddie fits you in 28D, it is likely that you will need the same size in the Ardour. The Ardour is a bit more closed on top, for me it works just so and I don´t have much upper volume.
Neve is based off Jude, so if Jude works well for you, Neve is definitely worth a try. And the Cleo Koko plunges are the same cut as Neve, although I don't know if any are available in a beige color,
