This fits the same as my 30H Hettie except the band is too large for me. That size has my review of this bra.

I just cant believe how soft is this bra.. The band is way too large on me in 34, I'd currently need 32 or even 30. It gives more natuaral look than 34D - Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) , and the lace on the top is stretchy enough to fit proably most types of boobs. I bought it while ago, and I was planning to use it on the tightests hooks but it's still too loose.

I love this bra! The wires are a *tad* wide for me, but not so much that I feel any discomfort. I have relatively firm, evenly-full breasts, so the stretchy lace on the top works really well -- some bras with non-stretchy lace can cause me to quad, but the Hettie does not. I only wish this bra came in different colors!

When I first bought it, it was uncomfortable because the gore dug in at the top. Also, the edge of the wire would dig into the side of my breast, but this isn't as much of a bother anymore. One side of the gore rests slightly on breast tissue (I am splayed), and it feels fine now. The stretch lace seems like it would be more forgiving of FOT breasts than the Lily (I wear Lily in 28F and the top area doesn't have any give). I feel like it wouldn't be as supportive on heavier breasts. I notice myself bouncing more in this bra. I would recommend ... this bra to someone with narrow roots, even breasts, and projection. On days when my tissue is less firm on top, the lace wrinkles a bit where it meets the cup.
My biggest annoyance about the Hettie is the creaky straps. After three months of owning this bra, this bra won't shut up! Whenever I move my arms, the straps creak uuugh. It's just annoying when I'm in a quiet room lol.
I also have the matching panties in size small. They look great with the bra, but I kinda wonder if I should've gotten an xs because the fabric bunches up a bit in the front. It looks more like a high waisted style, but I'm betting my butt is too big for the xs anyway.

I just cant believe how soft is this bra.. The band is really good - almost like my 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Ch Owoce Leśne (573) , and the cups are nice and soft also. It gaves more natuaral look than 34D - Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) , and the lace on the top is stretchy enough to fit proably most types of boobs. As is 70E, it is one size to big for me, although, thank to this lovely material on the cups, its not that bad as there is only some wrinkling mostly on the smaller side. However, I would love to get this one in 70DD or 75D! Love the navy colour and dots on it.

I haven't been able to make UK bras work for me in a while, so I've been pleasantly surprised by the Hettie thus far. I got this one at Nordstrom and would've sized down in the band except it was sold out. I will have to take it in, which isn't a huge deal. The great thing about this bra and why I was able to size down to a single G cup (well, I tried it on for shape since they didn't actually have a 32GG, and it turned out to work fine for me) is that the top mesh is VERY stretchy. In line with ... Ewa's BM cut stretchy. That's what allows me to keep wearing my BM Bibi Bezowa in 65GG even though I'm now in an H cup. The wires dug into my ribs a little at first, but I bent them outwards and they're fine now. I need to give this bra more wear before I truly can evaluate what I think of it, but so far so good. The fact that I can get away with the 32G is very handy because one reason I have trouble with UK bras is that they come up FAR too high in the armpit for me (which is only something that started happening once I passed the G cup barrier). My tissue is very short so that's a consistent problem. However, since I can size down here, the cup isn't too tall for me, so there hasn't really been any rubbing like there would normally be. The shape is decent as well. So I'll still stick to my customized Polish bras for the most part, but it's nice to have another option.

I bought this together with the 30E to compare, but this one didn’t fit. In my opinion, the sizing for both is pretty close, but after trying on this size for 10 minutes, I could tell that the cups are just too big since my shape would change as I moved around. This bra has been returned.

First impressions:
It seems to fit pretty well, but I am slightly underwhelmed by its appearance in person. I thought the pictures of it were beautiful, but things look a bit different on the physical bra. The main part of the cups is not a polka-dot fabric; it is actually a blue overlaid with a black fabric with little holes in it. And because of the type of fabric it is I can tell that it will get catches over time. I also think it feels...dare I say cheap? On the upside the cups are very soft, similar to the fabric on Panache Emily (6101) . Additionally, ... the lace section of the cup has an extra layer of black mesh under it (as many higher cups do) so the pattern in the lace is less visible, which is a shame. I'm debating attempting to 'de-armor' the lace section...I know I've seen a tutorial somewhere.
I think it fits pretty similarly to Cleo Melissa (6991) , but the upper potion of the cup is stretch lace. It may also be worth mentioning that the cups are in fact navy, not black as it sometimes appears in pictures. And the stretch lace as an elastic along its edge for extra security.

This bra fits very well! The wires poked terribly, but I was able to bend them out and now it is no problem. I have noticed that the band seems to stretch out fairly quickly, I can already wear it on the middle hooks. I have not had any problems with the fabric (yet), and its appearance is growing on mehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Do you mind measuring the bra?
