- Strap separation:
- Not a problem

Didn't fit
Before I tried the Darcy, I tried its sister cut, the Juna, in a 32GG -- itself a sister size of my usual bra size, 30H. This turned out to be far too large, in both band and cups. I was unsure if I needed to go one cup size down or two, and ended up trying the Darcy down just one cup size. And it fits! The lace trimming on the cups does stick up, but the cups don't otherwise gape. The reviews I've read of Juna and its sisters disagree about what the lace means, if it doesn't lie flat. Some say that this means the bra doesn't fit; some say that the lace sticking up has nothing to do with fit. I cannot answer this question. In my case (wide, tall root; shallow; FOB), the cups fit well in a cup size smaller than my usual size, but the lace sticks up. My only other quibble is the gore. It presses inward to a very uncomfortable degree; I've been using a folded-up tissue as padding between the gore and my skin. I've only worn the bra a few times so far, and if it doesn't soften up I will try bending the wires.
