I really wanted this bra to fit me. I recommend going up a cup size - my regular 70I is definitely a little too small and sadly they didn't have the size up.
The bra fits somewhat like a minimizer for my bottom heavy breasts, it seems like my breast tissue is more shallow and goes higher than usual in this bra. The profile is nicely rounded though, if a little less curvy than usually.
There is no elastic leading from the strap to the side underwire - the fabric just lies loose there. This could be bad news for people who need tightness in that area but the ... high-ish underwire and full coverage shape made it a non-issue for me.
The band seems true to size.
I really like how the bra looks, both the brown colour and the subtle embroidery. The pink detailing compliments the brown well. The embroidery and detailing lies rather flat and will only show under very thin materials.
Bra construction is not as up to par to with what I'm used to from Change Lingerie. There were a few loose threads and imperfect seams.
Sadly this bra is pretty hard to wear for one silly reason (and the other styles with the same fabric have the same problem) - there's the tiniest yet scratchiest decorative detail at the bottom of the band. It absolutely drove me nuts so I cut it off. Unfortunately the improvement was only marginal as the tiny ends of threads left over from cutting the detailing off are almost as scratchy and as the whole thing is sewn into the band it's impossible to remove completely. I cut off straps off a cami and wear it as a bra liner under the bra to be able to wear it.
Be careful about those beige bras with pink detailing, make sure to run your finger along the bottom of the band!
