It's been a while since I tried out some new bras; I still have yet to actually find any that I can wear for more than a couple hours besides the 34G - Natori » Hidden Glamour Full Fit Contour Bra (736044) , though, and I desperately need some new bras. This was one of the ones I tried.
And it's a lovely bra, very much my aesthetic; I love the bright blue and black lace. But the size just does not work for me. The band is super stretchy which is very comfortable, but it's borderline absurd, going from 30in unstretched to over ... 40 stretched for a 36 band. Considering I'd sized up a band to try this cup (I'm *technically* supposed to be a 34 band but I usually find 36 more comfortable so I tend to try both when trying a new brand), it was far too big. Even on the tightest hook it still felt pretty loose, I'd have a month or two of wear before it was simply too big, period.
There's light padding which minimized some other fit issues I'm having. I'm getting my usual gaping while leaning forward and slight quadding if I reach back, though if that were the only issue I would keep this bra-- neither issue was significant enough to look very weird under my clothes. I'm pretty sure this cup is actually too shallow and/or small? When I do a swoop and scoop, I get significantly more quadding, though due to the bigness of the band it pretty quickly resumes the initial fit look. I'm also finding it starts digging into my stomach uncomfortably while seated, though that may be because it's too loose but also stiff because of the padding.
I may try the 34G in this line just to see, though I tried the 34G - Crème Bralée » Kat Bra (12678) and that one's band was super tight and combined with my suspicion that I may need is a 34H in this model or it's simply too shallow a fit in general to work with my shape, I may just be out of luck with this brand. We'll see how I feel after I try a couple of the other bras on the way.

I just ran across this brand for the first time searching for US 40J cups online, so they have expanded their cup sizes considerably. At that price I would like to give them a try. Thanks for your review.
