I knew ASOS Boudoir ran tight in the band, but holy cow. I can't imagine this fitting anyone over a 26. My BTT is about 27", sometimes even closer to 26" and I couldn't even hook it without an extender for fear of snapping it in half. I would have tried it a band up but given it was on clearance, it was sold out. Even on the loosest hook of an extender I felt like I couldn't breathe properly.
The cups were close to fitting, but not enough to keep. The shape seemed... odd. I can't really describe it. I think they were wide enough, but I only ... had it on for maybe a minute before giving up. The gore is very triangular, the wires touch at the top, but it's not a super high gore. This is probably great for some people though. The cute scalloped trim at the top of the cups would not and as far as I could tell, could not, lay flat which made it look weird. It didn't just wrinkle or look empty, it stuck out at odd angles.
The overall quality was not great. The side sling was much firmer than the rest of the bra which made a weird bulge and it was almost scratchy. The seams in the cup looked sloppy and weird, the fabric of the band and front of the strap was thin and wrinkly looking. Had the fit been great, I could have said, hey it's $12, but at the regular price I think it's pretty unacceptable. And I've gotten plenty of way nicer bras for less than $12 when I thought I was a 32B, so I still think there's no excuse.
If you need a very small band and you find it on clearance, it could be worth a shot. At least if you're getting free shipping and returns, otherwise I don't think I'd risk it.
