- Center gore placement:
- Doesn't lie flat against sternum
- Top of the cup:
- Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
- Strap separation:
- Not a problem

Didn't fit
Ok! So, this was my first attempt at buying a bra with the 'US' sizing. The site I ordered it from said that a G-cup in the US sizing was equivalent to an F-cup in the UK sizing. My 38E and my 36F are probably my most comfortable bras at the moment (my 36FF Deco might be just a tad roomy) so I decided to give the G-cup a try first.
Note that this IS a push-up bra - I was going to try a little surprise for the husband with this one and it came close to achieving the desired effect. But whether this brand runs a little small, or just because there is added padding in bottom of the bra cup - it is a little small for me. I have boob spilling out the center and as a result the gore doesn't tack against my sternum. I wouldn't have minded a little spillage if it was over the top of the cups, but it just doesn't look the part with breast oozing out the center. Just looking back at the bras I've previously measured ti seems that the ones that fit me best all have a roughly 11 inch cup depth; this one is closer to 10 inches.
Depth of the cups aside, I love the look of the materials this is made from. I ordered the Wild Orchid color. It is a little more pink than purple, but the fabric has a sheen to it and a great texture. The lace is lovely and is very securely attached as an integral part of the bra; not tacked on as an afterthought as I've seen with some companies. The inside of the cups is made with a wonderfully soft fabric and the wires are well contained; no poke!
The 4 hooks per column on the band seems a little overkill, but I appreciate the wide band holding everything in. It is worth noting that the lower portion of the band is stretchier than the top due to the lace arching along the top of the band. The lacy portion doesn't really stretch at all.
I'm exchanging this for the 36H cup version (UK 36FF) and we'll see if that helps the fit issues.This bra is not owned any more
