I started with ordering this bra in 65E and the band was too loose, the gore was sitting on my breasts, the top of the cup was cutting in on my bigger side and the straps were too narrow and didn't give me enough support. I tried two another Gaias in SS10 cut before and both were slightly too big in 65F and too small or too closed on top in 65E. I kept the smaller ones since I didn't have any better bras back then but didn't wear them much and eventually sold them. In those bras gore lied flat so I was a bit surprised that in Maureen it floated and the bra was visibly too small. I've decided to exchange it for 65F, I was glad that this time it'll have wider straps and also wider, and thus probably more stable, band.
When I first tried it on everything seemed fine. Later I've noticed that the center gore doesn't tack again. The gore is also too tall for my liking and with its typical 2 cm width it can be uncomfortable for someone very close set like me. Despite going up a cup size, there's a bit of quadding on my bigger side, not much and it's hardly visible unless I push the gore flat against my sternum. There's a distinct wrinkling on the smaller side but that's just my asymmetry. The underwires fit perfectly on the outer side but the cups aren't deep enough and there is not enough room at the gore for my center fullness. I don't see any difference between 65E and 65F except that the latter gives me more coverage and has a firmer band. I haven't tried sizing up to G cup as I'm afraid it would be too deep.
Quality is very good and it's so beautiful, I prefer brighter colours but this shade of blue and the print are gorgeous. It could also be really comfortable if only I tolerated tall gores. I struggle with skin issues in the bust area and the gore rubs my breasts causing an irritation. Three attempts at finding perfect fit in SS10 and all failed. It's a shame since my two favourite Gaia's spring designs come only in this cut.

• A beautiful color on you! Thanks for sharing your size "experiments." Disappointing this beauty and the two new beauties you identified don't fit. Sigh.

• Thank You Love4Pollinators :) I must admit that I've kept this bra because of the hight waist brief but I can't wear it any longer than 2-3 hours which makes it a bra for special occasions.
