Bravissimo is the other brand in the industry that has managed to do a seriously good plunge for larger cupsizes - and with a plunge I mean the center gore is really low. (The other brand is EM.) The Sweet Medley doesn't let you down, it's consistent with Bravissimo's other plunges in both size and quality.
Pros:
- a true plunge shape, without the in-your-face-vavoom!-effect you get with EM plunges or Freya Deco in smaller sizes
- soft, summery material. Sturdy nonetheless.
- broad, soft straps that surprisingly do not ruin the rather delicate look of the bra
- really wonderful colour
- comes in J-cup
- band runs true to size

Cons:
- runs 1/2 cupsize small - pays to buy a bigger cup if you're normally on the upper edge of the size
- may be stretchy in the band in the long run - remains to be seen

This bra is not owned any more

Terrible terrible incompatibility here! This bra is made for full boobs without any breast tissue in the upper inner quadrant. So I have both quadboob and too much fabric going on at the same time. Extra apex fabric, and extra fabric on top of outer quadrants. So the cups are both too short, and too deep and too wide at the same time.

Also the wings are too low, the gore is too low. Everything with this bra is too low and too projected for me. Which of course is why the cups end up too wide. This bra combined with my 32HH - Tutti Rouge ... » Betty Bra (TU103) made me finally conclude I'm full on top. So no plunges for me, and certainly no Bravissimo plunges https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

Also the fabric; seriously this bra has the most scratchy lace that has evur touched my boobs. I had to rip it off 2 minutes after taking the pics. But maybe it is because of the cutting in so I might be unfair to it.

The bra in itself is drop dead gorgeous with pink embroderied flowers on a bright light apple green, but it would never fit me in whatever size I tried it in without very heavy alterations so I'm not keeping this bra.

Stuffed measurements branarchist method:
Cup depth 32 cm
Projection 11 cm
Width 16.5 cm
Cup height 16 cm

Measurements in the usual way:
Cup depth measured loosely is 33 cm, but it stretches to 36 or even close to 37. Wires are wide indeed with 17.5 cm at the very least between them.
