I purchased two versions of the Delicate Doreen; a white in 75G and a black in 80F - Triumph » Delicate Doreen Non-wired Full Cup (10135874). The purpose was to compare the size and fit of these two sister sizes. It is to be expected that the two are very similar; however, the white has 1cm more depth than the black, but is 0.5cm shorter. This tracks with the fact that higher sister sizes result in shallower cups, although the white is still wider. The black has a little more wrinkling in the bottom of the cup, and pushes my apex inward about 2cm, making it show quite obviously in the top. In contrast, my nipple sits along the seam quite comfortably on the white, with probably 1cm from its own apex. The gore also sits much closer to my chest, with about 5mm lift from the underband, as opposed to 8mm on the black.

It's worth noting that the black and the white are both equally stretchy (about 21cm); however, it's true that the black does feel a bit denser - I read that the dyeing process alters the properties a little, but I think it's been well compensated for. The black has less wrinkling in the band, which is understandable since it isn't stretching as much as the white is. But I'm much happier with the white's support, both in the band and the cup, so I think that's a clear winner for me.
