Australian brand DimitySo by Elle MacPherson Intimates run 1 size smaller on their band. I purchased the same cup size because the bra was A) less expensive than alternatives, B) relatively comfortable and C) the range only goes up to a G.
I find it to be relatively stiff and the wires make creaky noises sometimes when I move which is really weird. Also it only gives a relatively small amount of shape to my G's but it is still wearable, has adorable matching briefs and perhaps the most important part is since I have the "After Dark" color (more of a super deep indigo-ink-purple than black) I am not afraid of it showing under tops or tanks.
I've tried on other styles of the same brand and none rivaled this. However, I don't think I'll consider purchasing anymore DimitySo in the future as they just don't give me much support nor are they particularly flattering to my shape. Same goes with Elle MacPherson's namesake line.
This bra is not owned any more

Feb 7, 2012 - I am happy to report that I personally fitted a friend into 3 of my bras, that went unworn by me for well over a year each! They have now found a happy home. :) She fit:
Dimity So - Pepper Dream Stretch Lace (this bra!) 32G
Freya - Phoebe 30FF** - http://bra.pe/MDE/
Cleo - Jude 30G - http://bra.pe/Mnn/
** She reports the Freya to be her best overall fit. Although the other bras tried out were Freya's Leona 30FF Balcony, Cleo's Alex 30G Plunge, they did not work for her.
