This was the first new bra I got after I measured myself, and it's just okay. The more bras I try the more I realize the fit isn't great, and it's not aging well for me fit-wise, but it's good enough to wear -- I have a few shirts (including, bizarrely, one medium-weight sweater that's so clingy you can tell what the pattern of the lace is on my other bras) that just cannot cope with a seamed cup, and this is my best-fitting "tshirt bra" style bra right now.

This bra has a shallow cup, and the cup comes up high on the chest. My breasts are shallow-but-not-that-shallow and have more projection on the bottom than on the top, so the shape doesn't really work -- the cups tend to wrinkle at the bottom, and unless I have my back perfectly straight and my arms at my sides the top of the cup gaps too. Because of the cut of the bra, this isn't obvious under clothing.

Also, the band is EXTREMELY stretchy. After 2 weeks I was already wearing it on the tightest hook so it didn't feel like my boobs were about to fall out the bottom of the cups if I lifted my arms. A 36 band would definitely be a better fit for me in this one.

Despite those issues it's a comfortable bra. The wires don't poke, the fabric is super smooth and stretchy, the band doesn't roll up (I'm flabby, it's an issue).

My biggest gripe is actually that the cups come up so high on the chest that I can't wear anything other than a crew neck with it, despite the gore being quite low. The gore of the bra isn't visible in a v-neck, but the upper inside edge of the cup is.

This was a decent first-new-bra, but it's probably dropping out of circulation as soon as I find a better-fitting tshirt-bra-type bra to wear under those problem shirts.
