Didn't fit
My habitual size is 32D, because I can buy it in stores, but I think I am more a 30DD than a 32D. I have small but not flat, wide, pointy and full on bottom breast.
I have read all the revues in bratabase and in blogs, and they say to go down a band size, and go up one or two cups size for this bra. And bratabase say the 28F may fit me in cups, but too tight in band.
So I ordered a 30DD, a 30E, a 28E and a 28F. The one who fit me the best is the 28F (bratabase, you give good advice https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> )
All is perfect in the fit of this bra, expect the center gore which is too wide at the top, just between my breast. And I have empty space in the smaller boob's cup. But I have those problems with all of my bras.
I can close the band with the loosest hook and and feel supported even if I can put more than 2 fingers under the band. (If I had heavier breast maybe it will be too loose).
The bra gives a flat and round shape, and lift a lot. I have not the "marie antoinette cleavage" that some woman have with this bra, I just have more breast tissus in the top of my chest than with other bras. And my boobs looks bigger.
It is difficul to wear this bra with a V neck top, because the bra shows.
I am tall, with broad shoulders, and the straps are perfect !
I have the peach/plum color, it is beautiful, I love it !
EDIT 3 MONTHS LATER :
I altered the center gore, now the cups are very close together, so it fits my body.
I can close the band easily, and put the band away form my body 6-7cm, but it feels too tight (the underwires dig in my ribs). I wear it with and extender, and it is very confortable for me now.
With this 2 changes, this bra becomes my favorite ! I wear it all the time !
EDIT 1 YEAR AFTER BUYING THE BRA :
Ok, so now, I have other bras that really fits me, I can say this one is not confortable, because wires are too sturdy and the band is too tight in size 28, even now it is old. Wires are a bit too narrow too.
But the good point is the shape : so so good for lifting my breasts ! It is definitely my best bra if I want my nipples hight or spectacular " tall full on top shallow" sort of cleavage.
This bra gets old quite well. Materials looks cheaper and color is not as bright as it used to be, but the shape stay perfect, and the band stay firm.
