I bought this bra because my size changed and a 30H Nichole was the first thing to fit me. This bra, though a sister size to my 30H Nichole, is a different beast entirely. This is primarily because of the scaling of the cups and the shape it gives me. This bra is slightly minimizing, and the cups are not nearly as deep. The shape it gives my boobs is not an aggressive, Cleo-like roundness. It's a more natural, sloping roundness that reminds me of my Miss Mandalay Paris or Miss Mandalay Paige. Still pretty goshdarn round, though.

Though the bra is definitely still a FOB-suited bra, I think the 28HH has more upper space than the 30H. I fill it out pretty nicely, as I am full-on-bottom.

I found these wires to be extremely uncomfortable on my ribs, probably due to the tightness of the band on me. The gore was the first one I've had any substantial trouble with, so it may be tall. Bending the wires around problem areas really helped with the comfort, but I eventually caved and replaced them with some much more flexible Claudette wires. The bra is legitimately comfortable, now. Additionally, even if this band is a stretchy 28, *I* am not a 28. I could wear this bra for an hour without an extender, but not much longer than that. With an extender, the bra fits fine. I think its straps are also substantially less stretchy in this color or size than those of the minty green colorway.

The cobalt color is quite vivid, deep, and beautiful. It feels like it should be called ultracobalt, as it's more intense and indigo than any cobalt I've ever seen in my life. The fabric has a slight shimmer to it, but it's very, very subtle. This bra works as a functional nude for black and brown people under white shirts. The seams are notably visible, though, and under a thin, tight shirt, this bra does an awful job at hiding my nipples.
