No need for band extender now, Lizzie fits well in the band.

I vary between 30 and 28 Cleo bras because they often have very stretchy bands. I found a 28H Lizzie and thought "Hey, I'll order it because it could be like a tighter 30GG and I am often in between 30G and GG, maybe it will work out well." So this 28H has a bit bigger cup than I would normally take ... and there is pretty obvious wrinkling in the top cup portion. One thing to note is the top portion is not translucent like in stock photos online. Instead it is lined the same as the rest of the bra. I really like this consistency although some women really want the sexy sheer they see advertised. Also, the 28 band was much tighter than expected and it is near impossible to use the first hook without an extender!! Good thing I have a hot pink one to match the flowers! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> However, elsewhere overall it fits pretty well especially since it gives me a very nice rounded shape like my other Cleo soft cups.
I was pleased to order since I heard from other Bratabase users Lizzie is based on the same shape as my beloved Sasha & Alexa (http://bra.pe/R2w/) bras from the current season.
Since I just received it and the wrinkling doesn't show under a t-shirt I am highly considering keeping it.
Measured unstretched immediately before wearing.
Purchased mid-June '12 from Bare Necessities.
