This was a really oddly fitting bra. For one thing, it definitely doesn't measure at 34; I usually wear 32 bands and I could hardly clasp this 34G on the loosest hook. The gore didn't tack, which makes me think the cup size fits more like a larger 32FF, but the weird part was that there was extra space at the bottom of the cup that I wasn't filling. I also had slight quad boobing going on up top, so it just fit weird all around. I might try to do some alterations on the gore to bring the cups closer together, but I don't think that will help with the overall fit very much.
The print of the bra is really pretty! Overall, I'm bummed it fits so weirdly.

This bra is not owned any more

• Evollove doesn't make an FF, so you're right, their G is essentially a UK FF cup.

  Good luck with the alterations!

• I have trouble with the slight-quad-boob + empty bottom cup problem sometimes. I'm pretty sure it has to do with being FOB trying an even or FOT style, and how most bras don't have quite enough projection in the bottom of the cup for us, so the girls push the bra down to get at the more voluminous part of the cup. This was terrible for me with my 30FF - Panache » Zara (5086) , for reference - I couldn't ever really pull the wires up into the right place because it was waaaay too shallow/FOT for me, so I never found out if the upper cup might actually fit! :P

• Yes if the bra is too shallow for you, the breast will not be able to settle properly in the bottom of the cup and will be stuck too high up. Sometimes you'll then get quadboob. This happens to me with all the cute Mimi Holliday bras!

• Sorry I don't know why it double posted...

• Do the evollove bras tend to be more shallow in the cup?

• I personally don't know, since I've never had the opportunity to try the brand. The reviews aren't terribly specific on this front, sadly.

• If it helps anything, Evollove belongs to Bendon Group that makes other brands like Stella Mccartney, Elle Macpherson Intimates , Fayreform , Dimity So and a few others. I'm not sure up to what point they share cuts between brands.

• I know from browsing unlined, unpadded ElleMacpherson models on Bratabase that they run very wide and shallow in my size range (a shame because I find them pretty--this also means i looked through a lot of their designs hoping to find one that was cut narrower, but no luck).

  On the other hand I have a Fayreform bra that is so old and stretched that I can't get a reliable measure of band length or cup depth, BUT the wire is average to narrow.

• That's good to know! I just tried the bra back on and played around with narrowing the gore; it's not worth of for me to try to fix it. It's such a shame; the wires are really long and go right into my armpits, and sit a lot farther below my breasts than other bras I have. It's so frustrating that bras are so hard to fit!! (Granted I haven't tried on as many bras as some of the people here! Still looking for "the one," however.)
