I own several of these Cosabella NSN Curvy Sweetie Bras, mostly in size P. This is one of the few size XS that I have tried.

Cosabella recommends the following sizing:
P Curvy: 28-30 DD-E
XS Curvy: 30-32 DD-E

These are great bralettes, but the challenge with these is that the P is very tight in the bust area, while the XS is a little roomy in the bust and comes up a little tall on me for my tastes. Because of this, and because these tend to be more expensive than the regular NSN Sweetie Bralettes, I've ended up returning all the other XS ones I purchased in the past.

However, I saw this beautiful Dusty Basil color on Amazon for around $20 and decided to go for it again. The Cosabella lace bralettes fit very differently depending on the color, so I hoped that these would come in a little snug. Thankfully, they did! They measure on the smaller end of TTS for the band, and TTS in the full bust:

Full bust circumference: 77 cm
Band circumference: 50.5 cm

The band is significantly smaller than the regular NSN Sweetie Bralettes, and the bust circumference is slightly larger, but the main difference is that the cup is double lined with mesh, giving it much more support, and the gore is significantly higher, which makes the cup more full coverage than the regular NSN Sweetie style.
However, the actual cup height measures about the same as size S of the NSN Sweetie.

The roomier cup is less minimizing than the size P bras I already own, and in my current size, it is a pretty good fit, although the higher cup height/gore is not to my taste and is the only thing I really dislike about the styling of this bra. However, I discovered that this is super comfortable and looks great if you add some foam inserts for shaping and modesty. Since I am working from home these days, many of my non-underwired bralettes don't give enough shaping and support for video calls, and I find underwire bras too uncomfortable to wear while sitting down. This is the perfect solution, and looks good under clothing!

Dusty Basil is actually a beautiful pale pistachio ice cream shade. It is a little brighter and more blue than a pale mint green.
