Didn't fit
Update 2013:
The band is far too large, the cups are stretched to the brim and I spill out on my larger side, the gore is too wide and too high, the underwire is too long and jabs the armpits, I have the straps tightened all the way, and could afford to have them even tighter, in order for it to give shape and support.
The pro though is that the wire width (excluding the wideness of the gore) is pretty much exactly what I want and need, just a smidgen wider because it pretty much lands on the exact spot my root ends. It just needs a smaller band, bigger cups (and Chantelle 3 parts tend to be pretty forgiving in the cups anyway), and not so long wires.

This is a really beautiful bra. I'm really sad though that the underwire seems to be too high. I can ignore it for the most part, but it does poke my sternum and, at times, it pokes my arms. I'm also concerned the band might be too big for me. I don't really know for sure, as this is the first bra I've ever worn that was anywhere near the proper size, but I can stretch it out a bit on the loosest and middle set of hooks. I haven't tried the furthest yet. It does seem to be laying evenly across my back though! A huge different from my 36/38 bands. Also, my right breast is at least a cup smaller, so the cup (obviously) doesn't fit all that well without somewhere in there to even it out. (in my case, socks)
