Used to fit

November 2015: Now the cups are too small and cut in almost everywhere. There is visible strain on the cup seams. Rib cage is a little over 1" larger than before, so I need to use an extender again (it's also been resting for a few months so it's probably tightened up again). I've ordered a 28FF, and I'm afraid I should have got a 30 band. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />


Original review: When I first got this bra, I could barely stretch the band to 28", so it was painful and I had to use an extender. Over 6 months later, and it's definitely comfortable on the first hook, but on "less bloated" days I sometimes will have it on the second hook.
I believe that since the cups are a tiny bit too deep for me, and the band tight, the cups are stretched wide so that the wire sits about a quarter inch beyond my breast tissue. Otherwise the wires are a bit narrower than my other two bras that fit perfectly. I fill the cups all the way, and only when I slouch is there a gap along the top.
Overall, the bra is comfortable, but if I'm just slouching at my computer all day, my breasts and small rolls of skin under them sandwich the wires and smash them into my ribs, so when I finally "unfold" for the day and stand up, I have painful indents. This is easily remedied by me not slouching, which can be hard to remember sometimes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
I would definitely recommend this bra if the Maddie fits, and Parfait Charlotte fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
