I've tried 6 different styles and sizes from Skarlett Blue ranging from 28DD to 30D and 30DD, but unfortunately there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies in the sizing of this brand. The main problem with this bra is the band size, which is just plain incorrect. The unstretched band measures smaller than the 28DD Minx Unlined Balconnette I tried, and it measures over three inches smaller than the three other styles I tried in a 30 band. Furthermore, while the band fabric was stretchy, the stitching along the elastic was way too tight and restricted the stretch of the bra. I did not take a stretched band measurement because I was afraid of breaking the stitches, but I was just barely able to get this on and hooked!

Because of the tight band, the underwires dug into my ribcage painfully, though otherwise the shape of the cups was quite good. The cups were very thin and flimsy, but they looked pretty good on. I believe this was an intentional design detail and not an indicator of quality. Sadly, the band is truly a quality issue. I ordered two of these, thinking the first one must be a flaw, but sadly found both bras had the same stitch tension issue in the band.
