Didn't fit
This bra is gorgeous. It arrived in the mail with a string or two straying from the lace, but this is minor and easily fixed.
Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping it due to the fit--I'm spilling slightly out of the top without fully adjusting, and trying to pull all of my breast tissue into the cup results in major quad-boob. The top of the cup is very forgiving and creates a perfect cakes-on-a-plate shape, if you're into that (which I am). At the same time, the bottom of the cup buckles underneath the weight of my boobs and is difficult to fill. Does not feel very supportive or sturdy, especially at the top, so if I keep it, it would have to be saved for low-activity days. I can hook the band easily and the band itself is firm, but the cups make it hard to judge if the band is just right.
The center gore is a perfect height and width, and almost tacks (again, without adjustment), and while the underwire itself doesn't poke anywhere, the side of the cup where it connects to the strap digs uncomfortably into my underarms. The straps are also very wide-set and tend to slip off.
The shape and cleavage this bra gives are incredible and I feel great in it despite the glaring fit issues. I'd love to try this bra in a 28JJ or 28K, but a 30J is probably my best bet. Sizing up probably won't fix the cup height issue, but it's just too pretty to give up on!
