Didn't fit

The calculator tells me I should try a 42DDD/E, but this...this is not it. The band feels appropriately snug when fully hooked, but it's extremely stretchy, to the point I feel like I need to put it on the very last set of hooks to get a tight enough fit. Either I'm not actually this size, or the bra cut is all wrong. The cups are way too small, and there's really no support at all for large, heavy breasts. The center gore is nowhere near my chest wall. The front of the cups wrinkle. If you have wide-set, pendulous breasts, you might not like this one. There's no padding or shaping help, so it just fit me poorly in every way that matters.

That said, the material itself is nice and feels like microfiber. The color ("Moody Mauve") is very pretty; it's a nice medium purple shade. I like that it has four hooks. The straps are nice and wide. They aren't padded at all, but they're still comfortable. The little criss-cross design right under the center gore is a cool little touch to add interest to the bra.

Cups too small, band far too stretchy.

Center gore placement:
Doesn't lie flat against sternum
Cups separation:
Too separate for my boobs
Band fit:
The band is definitely too big
