I used to love this bra. It was all I wore through my teens after being fitted into it at 16. I had it in a wide range of sizes, everytime I could snatch one of these babies up cheap on ebay that was remotely close to my size it was mine. Starting out with 40DD, going to 42D, 42DD, 44DD, 46D, 48C,44F,... When I finally found I needed a larger cup and a tighter band, the first thing I did was order this bra in 42G (UK), the cup and bandsize combo closest to my size.
The bra is a fullcup and the cup of this bra ... runs huge. The bottom cup is nicely hollowed out and perfect for my bottom-heavy boobs. Sadly I cannot fill out the upper cup in the 42G, so the bra sags and gives a ... not so great shape. Scratch that, it looks like I wear no bra at all.
The fabric is a very soft cotton that feels great on the skin. Sadly this is also one of the pros and cons of this bra, bc the cotton-heavy material stretches a lot. Since I wore this bra in a 44DD when I really needed a 40H(UK), a stretchy cup was great. But it is an epic fail in 42G.
However the real killer are the straps. The cup is cut too high under the arms, it cuts in horribly in the armpit area. I am in constant pain in this bra. I already had this problem in 44F, but in 42G it really is impossible to bear.
In 44DD the cup was too small, so my breasts pulled the fabric and the strap out of my armpit area. A friend of mine who wears it a 38J tried it in 42G, on her the cup was too small - and so the fabric got pulled out of the armpit area.
I would say this is a great bra if only for the dratted strap. Also if you are wearing it chances are high you are stuck in the wrong size.
