Surprise!! It is now December 2018, and this bra has actually fit since June!! It sat waiting to be sold for nearly a year, when I was at a distraught place with a new body weight and breast size and all my bras rapidly becoming too big (weight loss was healthy and intentional, but having nothing to fit sucks!!), so I was trying on all my previously too-small bras to see if any would fit... And BAM, new bra!! The fit was really close! But as I always hated that, for a plunge that's supposed to induce cleavage, it sure as hell had a really wide gore. The straps were also too wide, so the infamous foam cup gapping was happening. So.... I altered the bra!! It was something I had always thought about, but was scared to do. I sew partially for a living, and couldn't do a hack job... SO.... Go on over to my other listing of this bra with alterations and see how it went... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

So sad. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> As you can see, it is a MUCH bigger difference, in both size and shape, than the 30E. I expected just one cup down, but this feels like 2 or 3 cups smaller (30E was about a half cup too big). The apex is more than an inch lower, and the side of the cup and wing much lower as well. Somehow, the cups felt more separated though. The band was shorter but stretched longer. Wires nearly the same width, but significantly shorter and MUCH shallower cups.
Here is my comparison, and I included photos of them side by side to show how huge of a difference they have.

The color is a bright neon pink, not the fuchsia as listed on Boux Avenue's website, which was a disappointment as well. Not quite as good in quality of wing mesh, thinner and shorter straps, and significantly shallower and shorter in cups. I admired this so long, I am SO sad it won't ever work. :'(
Boux Avenue is very cruel with their shipping costs and return policies, so returning is sadly not an option. It's still a good bra, just not the right one for me. Hopefully someone else can find this a cute bra to add to their closet!
