Edit 2/14: Alright, I tried it on with an extender and the straps were pulled even farther to the sides, so it's a no go. I'm very disappointed, because I like the shape and depth of the cups when I add the extender the cups fit well since they aren't pulled to my chest quite so hard. I'd say it runs at least one band and cup size small, and as I mentioned the straps are way wide set.
Original review: I was sad to discover this bra runs small - my other 28DD's fit perfectly and are just beginning to stretch out enough to move to the second ... hook after more than 6 months - this one is way too tight and when buckled (my husband had to do it with my arms down and breath out) it pulled the cups into my chest so tightly it both minimized and quad-boobed me. I think with an extender it might work alright and it will give it time to stretch out - maybe it just means I'll get to keep this bra even longer than normal? But I sure wish I'd known it ran small so I could've ordered a 30DD. Despite being obscenely tight in the band, it wasn't that uncomfortable. The band is very wide especially around the back, so it distributed force really well and it didn't feel as tight as it looked (I'm pretty skinny but my skin bulged around it in a very unfortunate manner). The band is very solid mesh with little stretch.
The cups seemed nicely lightly padded enough to provide coverage and nice shape.
