This bra technically fits. It encompasses my breast tissue as well as my usual 28G's and 30FF's in other brands (Freya and Cleo respectively.) It has a similar issue like Cleo where it cuts into the breast at the point where the bottom cup and the top lace seams meet. I generally don't mind this, but I know others do who size up to avoid it.
The band is pretty stretchy. I can pull it to 32 inches, but at that point the underwires completely deform. A "safe" maximum stretch is around 30-31 inches. It was slightly loose on me, my ribcage is a 28, but for a true ... 30, this would be a perfect snug-but-comfortable fit.
My biggest issue is that the shape is very unflattering. I'd say this bra is made for someone with wider shoulders, and wider-set, shallow breasts. The straps are a centimeter away from falling off my shoulders completely if I wear them where they're supposed to be.
Another small issue is that color didn't work out for me at all. I bought it on ebay so I thought the cream lace would be lighter, and that the pink would be more warm and peachy. Instead the lace is almost a dusty, peach and the pink is a cool tone. It really does look "vintage" which I find I'm not really fond of.
