Before I (finally) correctly sized myself, I was wearing a 32B in this....really. A B. "Wearing" is probably a poor explanation for how bras sat on my body back then but I didn't know https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" /> Anyway, correctly measuring as a 30E/DDD and sister-sizing into the 32DD has taken this bra from creaky and nearly unwearable to one of my most comfortable new bras. It's not perfect - the little ring that serves as the gore doesn't lie totally flat, and it's a little tight on my larger breast (but not quadding, which happens sometimes with bras that fit the smaller one - it's just very full). Unfortunately DD is the highest cup size Aerie makes in almost all of their bras; DDD is only available with 32+ bands and for most cuts that's too much for me, so the sister size will do here. Not having band/strap slippage problems so it seems fine. I think my shape is moderately shallow, but it's hard to tell because my roots are tall, wide, and separate (a weird combo that I blame on my broad shoulders)....so if you love Natori Feathers but it does nothing to give you cleavage, Charley is your girl. Be prepared for some jiggle. But sometimes you just need that, you know?

• The Aerie Sophie is lightly lined and has a taller, deeper cup than Charlie, it might be worth checking out.

• thelittleone Thanks for the tip!! It looks like Aerie discontinued the Sophie (along with all the other old fits I used to like and wanted to try in the right size...sigh) but I'll see if I can hunt it down on ebay. looks like the shape could work if I don't gap at the top :)
