I got this after trying the 30H. I sized up knowing a) the bra is not really suited to my shape, and b) I am not a 32H -- the band is too big (though in fairness the 30 was a little tight). So let's break this down.

For reference, these days I'm calling myself full on bottom, fairly narrow root, fairly close-set, LOTS of projection. The best fit I've found so far is the Cleo Marcie.

Pros--reasons I went with this bra knowing it wasn't a great fit:

-The shape is somewhat minimizing and uplifting on me, which means it's great for wearing under dresses without quite enough room in the bust--it minimizes and lifts enough for empire waists to fit under my breasts when normally they sit on the tissue somewhat.
-I wanted a nice nude bra
-It's quite comfortable.
-Fabric is lovely and it looks pretty good.
Gore is fairly low on me and the tops are very open, which makes it great for anything low-cut

Cons:

-Cups are way too wide for me -- unsurprising since I'm pretty narrow AND sized up.
-Cups are also quite shallow. There's about an inch of empty space in the bottom. The shape reminds me of how the Panache Harmony was on me, though it's much more comfortable than the Harmony, which my projected breasts distorted like crazy.
-Straps are quite wide-set.
-The corollary to the low-cut pro is that I get a lot of bounce in the top of the cup because of all the exposed tissue.

These cons are shape-compatibility issues combined with the fact that I was forced to size up to 32H, since there's no 30HH. (strap-width and cup-width in particular). If you are full on bottom, narrow, and projected this is probably not the best bra for you. It is, however, the most comfortable shape-incompatible bra I've worn, and it looks really nice under clothes.
