So the Amelia bra I wanted to order in my usual size 32K but customer service talked me into getting it in 34JJ because it runs small in band. I don't know where they get that info from, but my bra certainly does not run small. I compared it to 32K Millie and 32K Mabel I got in same order and the band of Amelia is 6.5cm longer!
So do NOT size up in band! I rather break in a band in with and extender than deal with an already too large band. Also the Amelia bra is too pretty for some messy band alternation.
My shape: narrow / medium ... roots,center full projected, full on top.
Getting that out of the way back to the bra. It's a really pretty bra with some extra strap detail on back and front cups. It's kinda cute but to me it would also be ok without it. The bra doesn't look as pretty in my size range than on stock photos.
The band is definitely too large. The straps are very stretchy. If I adjust the straps shorter the band wants to ride up and if I make the straps longer the top of the cups feels more loose.
The wires are rather wide, the cups are not very projected and very tall. They come up very high on me. The wire and gore are very tall. The top section of the cups is very stretchy lace which adjusts to your shape. There is a lot room left but if you don't use it the lace still lies flat. I think I could even size down a cup size and there would be enough room with the stretch. I'd also prefer a less tall cup. However I fear the bra be then too shallow for me at the bottom in a smaller size. It's hard for me to judge if this bra would be a winner in the right size or it would feel too weak with to many stretchy parts for my rather heavy boobs. I don't know if it's worth to try 32K or 32JJ in this bra.
update after measurements; the band on this bra measures 76cm unstretched, and 88cm stretched. It's slightly less stretchy than Millie or Mabel band, so I think that is what they meant to tell me. But my underbust measures 76cm so the band as it is does not much for me.
