I bought this bra on clearance at an amazing price, with fingers crossed that it would fit. I was really hoping once I tried Emily in the correct size, she would work for me. I've flipped back and forth between thinking the cups were to small (because once I scooped and swooped, I'd have a bit of quadri-boob) to thinking the cups were too big because the lacy tops of the cups would wrinkle and feel a bit loose/empty when I was sitting or leaning my body forward a bit. The band is a bit snug for me, and at times the place where the underwires meet dig ... into my sternum, but it's something I can live with from a new bra.
I've decided that my problem with Emily is that to get decent shape and to fill out the cups properly, I have to tighten the straps as short as they go, and doing this means the sides of the cups come up high under my armpits and painfully dig in. Also, I get a square boob-profile, and not much uplift.
I would maybe try an 32HH to solve these problems, but I don't have high hopes that it would give me a more rounded shape, I think the cut of the bra is just not for me sadly.
