CUPS
Technically, the cups run small, but in practicality they do not because the cup fabric is stretchy.
The top of the cup is one layer of mesh that stretches horizontally, as does the top line seam, so this bra can accommodate variations in upper bust fullness — within reason.
The lower cup comprises two layers of fabric, one stretching horizontally and the other vertically.
GORE
The centre gore is wide especially at the bottom. My boobs say no to this attempt to push them apart and retaliate by forcing the bra down my torso.
BAND
The band is shorter, but stretchy, so the theme continues.
Really the whole bra feels ... flexible all over so it's SO COMFY except the gore for me.
I prefer a firm band and cups for maxxx support, so this is more like a lazy house or sleep bra for me.
CUTE
very cute. tri-colour scheme and colour-blocking and polka-dot pattern.
PS I got the matching bikini briefs too in an XS and they are adorable but unfortunately too small on me. I am normally a S or M on the pants.

That looks great on you!
I'm still relatively new to all this, but what I can say about Charlotte (oh, that new floral....looks so pretty!) ....I have a different shape than you, although similar size. I don't think the cups run all that small, but the band is definitely quite firm. Even though my comfortable rib cage measurement is about 28 and my purple Charlotte stretches to 29 inches, it is too tight for me to tolerate without an extender. I had hoped it would loosen up, but after 3 or 4 hand washes, and several weeks of wear (a lot of that time was multiple days in row, because at that point I had nothing else that came close to fitting)...it's still just as tight.
