Band is great on loosest hooks, the colorway (black ricamo) is fantastic, and post-alteration this is my comfiest bra yet.

I got the 30F knowing I needed more cup depth than my Just Peachy has, but not how much... F is a little too much right now (though I'm currently weaning my toddler, so that changes day-to-day) and an E probably would have been better.

However, I don't know that the wires on the E would be wide enough and I loooove this bra so I opted to alter the cups. I took them in a little and I think the size is now somewhere between an E and an F, but I didn't actually remove any material so I can reverse the alteration if my size changes when the Booger's finally finished nursing. All photos were taken post-alteration (and with one boob half-empty).

Update: I felt like my alteration was smashing my boobs too much so I pulled the stitches out, and now the gore digs in rather painfully. I think this one is too projected and a little too narrow for me... it's so pretty and I love the fabric so much though. I may try doing a different alteration soon the see if I can fix it for good.

Update 2: Bent the wires wider to match the Comexim halfcup I have (which fits so perfectly) and did a new alteration on the cup that removes about half the depth I removed last time. New cup width/ depth measurements are 5.6"/ 8.7", and this bra fits *really* well now! I get a little bit of wrinkling at the wire on the bottom of the cup sometimes, but it isn't enough to be noticeable and the bra is really comfy again. ...I need to take new pictures, because the fit looks much better now too.
