Got this off ebay-- I've been obsessed with Patsy since I first saw the mint-green colorway, but it didn't come in my size (due to Freya's padded half-cup sizing weirdness: big band and small cups).

This is a full cup size too large on me, I am going to exchange it for a cup-sized down-- i.e. a 30GG (which I will probably forget to measure unless someone reminds me in a few weeks). The band is very stretchy, as is Freya's way, but I find that comfortable. It stretches to a full 32 inches (I stretch as far as possible without causing wires to warp), but is still comfortable for me to wear on the loosest hooks-- I suspect it will get loose quickly and I'd prefer to get a band-size down, but can't find it in a 28H. I'm only speculating that it will loosen quickly as I'm not keeping this bra, so it really may not be an issue.
Based on this, I'd *estimate* it fits fairly true-to-size, but slightly small (I can't say for sure as this is clearly NOT the right size). I'd describe myself as a small 30GG who fits into large 30Gs and small 30GGs, and for this I'll need the 30GG. Patsy is 30G is definitely too small.

It's very comfortable to wear, and I like the really rounded but somewhat minimized profile-- it's very flattering. I generally find the padded-half cups to have a very comfortable design, which is why I kept trying them even when they didn't come in my size. It looks really good under clothes, and without them as well. The gore is a bit too wide on me, but it doesn't go up so high on my sternum to be uncomfortable. The shape works very well for my balanced (not really full on top or full on bottom, I get fit issues from both sides) breast shape-- it doesn't cut in on top, nor do I have an empty top section (in a better size, at least!).

The ballet pink colorway is the only Patsy currently available up to H cup, and I really like it. It's a pale pink (like the color of new ballet tights) with a sort of taupe brown (a very muted, greyed brown) lace accent across the top and matching taupey brown polka dots. It may not be a colorway that everyone will be excited about (yet another pink bra?), but it is fabulously flattering on my fair skin, and I like the unusual accent color they chose for this season.

All in all, I'm excited to get one in a size that fits, it's pretty, comfortable, and will fill a good niche in my bra-wardrobe! I wanted to measure this one in particular, since there are none measured in this size, and I really want Freya to continue the larger size range for the padded half cup! Buy it if you like it and can afford it! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
