got this to try, been wearing it all day so far. doesn't hurt, gaps a little but that is such a nice contrast to always feeling like my breast are being smashed down when i do find an underwire bra that "fits".
as always, my right breast fits it almost perfectly, but my left more projected and higher up breast, doesn't fill the bottom, but it's not noticeable and makes for a nice silhouette under clothing, which is nice to have from time to time https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
the top of the cups cut in a tad and slightly curl inward when i put my arms together and such.
but all in all, i think it would be nice to have at least one more padded underwire bra that doesn't press on tissue, etc.

update: tried this in the floral and the cups curl outward from the print fabric cup overlay. i would stick to just the solid colors if you want more of a smooth look.

Holy cow this is a tight band!!! (as many others have said). Also as many others have said, there is a cup flaring issue that tends to happen on one side.
Whatever it is, the weird cup edge is blatantly obvious under shirts; see my pic in the yellow t-shirt. As much as I tried to rationalize keeping this bra, I saw that picture and decided I'm not going to walk around in public like that.

Unfortunately, for those reasons, this bra has to go back...which is a huge shame because it really should be the perfect bra. I do love that the cups don't have ... all that heavy padding in them... the foam is relatively thin, flexible, and comfortable. It's too bad.

*** NOTE per SOPHISTICATED PAIR website:
"Neve suffered from defects during its initial run where the cup would crease outward near the center; however, I have been assured that the problem has been rectified."

** EDIT **
I've ordered a 32D. I liked this bra so much that I wasn't ready to write it off yet. I thought more about the cup curling and realized that the curl was happening on my larger side, and a few other reviewers said the same thing. I checked out the cup depth of bras that fit me well, like my 28E - Cleo » Jude (5846) and my 30D - Cleo » Jo (5696) , and the depth on those (7.3" and 7.0", respectively) is at least 1" more than this Neve which measures only 6" deep. I then looked up the one 32D Neve on Bratabase and it seems to be more on par with my Jude and Jo, so I'm giving that size a try. Will post updated review when I receive the replacement.

** EDIT II **
New review posted and the 32D fits! Check here: 32D - Cleo » Neve Plunge T-shirt Bra (7196)

I absolutely love this bras. This is probably the closest bra that I have to my old VS bras. However I'm 90% sure it doesn't fit! but neither do my VS bras. This one at least is tight in the band.
The straps do seem to be digging in at the longest.
The little decorative design at the top will show through tight shirts.

After wearing this for a few minutes I can tell it won't be comfortable for me.

I think this one's a keeper. It's a smidge tight, but I suspect it will loosen up quickly. I fit into it, the straps aren't falling, and I'm not quad boobing. I am happy.

It's my first printed pattern bra, and I think it is totally adorable. I got it in the pink and orange floral.

It is lower cut than I'm used to---it's a little unsettling to look down and see nothing but boob, surrounded by a thin border of orange and pink.

Pros: I love the cleavage I get from this bra, it is the best cleavage I've got from any bra ever. its super uplifting.
I also love how tight the band is, I can literally take the straps off and the cups stay securely in place.
I love how stretchy the whole thing is - I know that is a con for most women but for me its also a pro because it means it stretches to fit my body and looks and feels more natural.
It is also quite minimizing, because it hugs my boobs so close to my body, I can fit into a lot more clothes now ... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Its super pretty and sexy.

Cons: the skinny straps are pinching my skin, I notice after a while that the under band is also digging in, I find it a bearable pain though, because it does stretch.
I'm worried that it makes me look pigeon chested, because it is so uplifiting, there seems to not be quite enough fullness at the bottom or the middle, when I look at it side on...
Because it is so stretchy I'm worried about how its going to be after ive washed and worn it a few times.
The frilly edges at the top of the cups are extremely visible under clothes, especially tight clothes

For a plunge, I am surprised that this shape fits me so well! The material it's made out of is very soft, and it looks smooth even under a tight tee shirt. The band fits me pretty well, so I would say that it runs tight. Overall, supportive and comfortable.

I loved the nude Neve so much, that when I saw this baby on sale I couldn't help to buy it!

The cleavage is awesome!

I think it might be a bit too shallow for my breast, but I like it nevertheless!

Sooooo. Long story with the bra : was one of my first "serious" ones.
At first :
I was a 30D, and the bra was more or less O.K. Bras like this one never quite fit on the top (for me), but that was pretty much everything. Took me a while to get used to the sternum and the band. However, it was GREAT on the sides.

But now.
Well, I guess it got a bit old, and I changed a bit. The band is too loose (I sometimes even need to put it back in place) and the top issue got worse. however, it's currently still confortable to wear.

However : The marks I get when I leave it allow me to see that the cups are quite low compared to my breast (and I need them to be, or it used and still do get uncomfortable), and I'm wondering whether this mean it didn't really fit or it's a normal thing... ?

This is an overall shallow bra with medium-to wide cup, but does have enough room at the bottom of the cup to prevent the fabric buckling on me. I don’t recommend this if one is full on top or needs deep cups, since I filled out the cup thoroughly. The top of the cups were folding over outwards when I first got the bra, but after several washes there’s no issue.

By measurements, this should fit perfect. However there is no measurement in bratabase for strap to strap width and cup height (like at HerRoom). So this bra eats my tail of spence as it gets pinched between strap and cup. Going back down to 30DD as that width is about 1/2-3/4" less between shoulders and 1/2" lower on cup height.
