Didn't fit
This bra gets better with extended wear. When I first got it, the band was uncomfortably snug, to the degree where it was torture wearing it for any extended amount of time because it did not give enough when breathing. Nothing was helped by the high gore, digging into my sternum. After lightly bending the gore outwards it became wearable, but it took close to two months of constant wear before the band started loosening enough to be comfortable.
As for fit, I wish it had slightly higher underwires on the sides because I have bottom heavy, wide set breasts that are naturally inclined to settle low and wide apart unless something stops them. When newly adjusted, the 32DD cup is on the small side, giving me a slight spill over effect due to the lace along the top cutting into the breast which is an indicator that ideally a 32E cup would probably be my size but because of the low sides breast tissue migrates during the day, emptying the very top and overfilling the bottom making the bra look too small on the bottom, too large on top.
To summarise, if you have breasts that are naturally more centre heavy and not too round on top and don't mind a very snug feeling band this would be a very good option. The material is wonderful, soft and breathable despite being lace. It looks gorgeous. It holds up remarkably well, considering it is now over a year old and has been my go-to bra for the last year.
