I absolutely adore this bra, but sadly I seem to be between sizes in terms of cup depth. The 30DD is definitely too small for me - quadboob and too low under the armpit (I tried the Melissa in a 30DD and the Bella is definitely tighter in the cup). The 30E fits like a dream in terms of wire width and wing height, but it's too deep for my shallow boobs - the mesh top section gapes a lot, especially towards the centre of the cups. I also tried the 32DD, and whilst it's definitely shallower and therefore less gapey in the cup, I can fasten the band on the tightest hook with comfort, and the band rides up if I bend forward. The band is more generous than models like Melissa - Alexa would be a better example (in fact, the 30E Bella fits me like the 30DD Alexa - which I didn't keep).

I think anyone with shallow boobs is going to find this bra gapes in the top section. However, the shape is so good otherwise (think high and front like Melissa) and the print so divine, that I'm going to keep it.

Edit: a couple of months and some tissue migration later, and this fits perfectly. Hurrah!

• Hurray for tissue migration! I, too, have some bras that fit better after tissue migration!
