I ordered this bra from Breakout Bras shortly after receiving the 32K - Full Embrace » The Essential Balconette Bra and finding that it didn't fit me at all. I had also previously tried the 70N - Comexim » Magic Plunge Bra (455) , which was way too small, and the 70O - Comexim » Miss Bee-have Half Cup 3hc , which was wearable, but not a perfect fit. I literally took the tags off of the Full Embrace balconette, since I thought it would take a week or so to get to me and I needed something to wear ASAP, then got an email indicating that my Breakout Bras order had shipped and would arrive by Saturday. It actually arrived today (Thursday). Whoops. Anyway, the Piume Blu isn't a perfect fit on me after all. The cups gape a bit, especially on my smaller side, and the gore doesn't quite tack. I'm going to hang onto it since it's wearable, the colorway is very pretty, and I'm pretty desperate for a padded bra as this cold snap is showing no signs of abating. I suspect finding a padded bra that fits me perfectly without alterations just isn't going to happen. Le sigh.
Edit: remeasured bra 02/12/21 using my knee to hold the bra in place.

  I’m no expert, but It looks like a pretty good fit to me, If it’s comfortable enough for you?

  Thanks a lot for reviewing this, I've been curious to see Piume Blu irl - and it is a lovely designed bra indeed!

  I'm surprised though that the cup depth on yours is 30.5cm./~12 inch? Seems less than I would expect for a 70O (that's BreakOutBras' 32K/US32O, right?)

  'Cause I was low-key considering the 32HH/32L/70L (they don't have a 70K in stock and my current Comexim 70K's seem small-ish anyway) but I would need 29-ish cm cup depth - as that is 3 sizes smaller, I wonder how their scaling goes..?

  bubblegum: It is a Breakout Bra 32K--bratabase auto-converted 32K to 70O. I remeasured the bra this afternoon using my knee, and I was off by an inch on the width and the depth. I used my knee this time around instead of holding the bra by hand, but it was still tricky to measure. I guess I need a bigger knee, LOL.
  @margesimpson: It looks alright in the photos, but there's gapping at the strap, and the gore isn't tacking. The bra is reasonably comfortable, so I'm keeping it, but I'm not likely to buy more Comexims.
