So, I tried this in a 30D in a different color as well figuring I'd keep whichever one fit. Turns out neither really fit and this one, while closer, was such a hideous color I couldn't imagine keeping it. The 32C has many of the same problems of the 30D. It was very much the "pointy elf shoe boob" with some quad on top of it due to how closed it was. With a more open top I could call it retro and be okay with that. I wear vintage clothing a lot and sometimes you want a pointy bustline.
The fabric is not very high quality, there were ... a number of loose threads and frayed seams even brand new. Since I paid $13 on clearance I would give the quality a bit of a pass, but the regular price is outrageous. The fabric is at least very soft, but felt very susceptible to snags and pulls. There was a lot of wrinkling and puckering on the band and gore which did not go away on or off. The elastic straps for the cage felt fairly nice though. The colors do not deserve a pass at any price though. The main body of the bra was a fairly nice aqua color, but the cage and straps were hot fluorescent pink. On the ASOS website it had appeared kind of salmon which I figured I could live with, but highlighter pink is a completely different story.
The 32 felt okay, but it might have stretched out too fast had I kept it. I think most people would want to size up in the cup and band on this one, but given its fairly limited size range a lot of people wouldn't be able to. If it shows up on clearance for $13 again, I might try again in a 32D because I've got no good sense.
Needless to say, this one went back. Thank god for free returns.
