Ahh, so I just got my crazy cheap ($10!) Claudette Dessous in the mail from their encore sale, and the 30FF fits AMAZINGLY. It is the most comfortable unlined bra I've ever put on, and give me an amazing shape. I'll post a review when I have time to measure, but I'm so excited about this bra I immediately had to post a question:
I bought this bra in one of the oldest 2012 colorways (pink/black) because is was the most deeply discounted. I've heard this bra has changed substantially since then, and between colors. For those who liked the original model, did the changes mean the bra no longer fit you? I have a tall root, and worry about a shape that could be more closed on top. I look forward to getting more of these as Claudette continues to release new colors, but don't want to get my hopes up if the newer versions aren't going to fit.

I can't comment a ton on cup shape, but the newer bras run super tight in the band. Like, I could not physically stretch the 28 all the way to 28", and because of the fabric, this is a bra that I prefer to wear a little looser on a hot day. I got an extender and it works great for me.
I agree with runs_with_scissors that the 28 band doesn't stretch to 28 inches in my Blondie colour way which I believe is not from an early season. I have some bras from the Encore sale waiting for me in my US mailbox and as soon as I get my hot little hands on them, I'm definitely going to write some comparison reviews on sizes and colours.
