This is such a beautiful, simple, yet elegant, basic bra. I bought this in white and its so pretty and shiny! I was struggling with what size to get since I'm pretty much in between sizes. I was worried the 28FF would be too small and cause major quad boob but I didn't want the cups to be too big and wrinkle in a 28G. I decided to go with the 28G, and it fits when I first put it on, after scooping and swooping, but as soon as I move, the lacy top part of the cups wrinkle (more so on my larger boob, oddly enough). This is the FIRST bra I bought that was too big, and I'm a little worried the 28FF won't fit either - I think the edge of the cups will cut into the top of my boobs. But I'm not sure. All of my other bras that measure the same depth/width in the cup seem to fit better than this.

The lace part at the top of the cup is firm and doesn't seem to have much stretch to it, so this is one of those bras you have to get just right! I may even try a 30F, since the band on this is super tight (21" and only stretched to 28.5"). And I LOVE that there are 3 hooks and eyes on the back, this is a VERY supportive bra!! But its rather comfy for being so tight and firm. The wires are also very wide and come out all the way under my armpits, but that might be because its being stretched to the max with my 27" ribcage. I think a 30F would be a much better fit. I tightened the straps a good bit to accommodate for the cups being a tad too big, and I think that's what's causing the pointy, conical shape it's giving me. I tried a shirt on to see what it looked like and I felt like Madonna cones sticking out! Lol! But i think if i go down in cup size it may help with this problem (as I've heard this bra gives a nice, natural shape).

I was also worried about the gore being too tall, since most bras that have a high gore on me usually bother the hell out of me. This bra measured at 2.7" or so, which is pretty tall for my close-set boobs, but surprisingly, its actually very comfortable and not a problem for me at all. I was just about to give up on balconettes for this exact reason (the Cleo Lucy and I do NOT get along)!! But I REALLY love this bra, and I am gonna be on the lookout for a 28FF/30F to possibly swap. Otherwise, I'll be listing this one to sell https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> But if you can figure out your size in this bra, I would definitely recommend it!!
