Wooo finally a brand new bra with a band that fits my stupid ribs perfectly on the first hook! Pretty much everything that 'fits' starts on the last hook and still need be taken in. Have finally came to accept my other Antonina is way too small to cram myself into anymore & ordered this a size up (arrived not a second too soon thanks to Levana for their *very* swift and ... professional service)
Woe betides all 28 backs who desire a bit of breathing room, you should definitely +2 for this one.
Joy to the few of us, who even with spare fluff really don't have enough mass to fill out & hold down out a normal 28" band. Not all 60's run this tight.
So back to this bra. 60HH BM Antonina feels 1" taller in the upper cup (band) when compared other sister- sized BMs with modified backs. Being of tall upper base but not an upper full breast, this is a less quad-prone shape than lower (narrower) BM cup sizes I've tried.
Cup depth runs from 11.5 to a bit over 12" deep with mechanical ease in the duoplex lining; upper cup ranges from 8" to 9" wide with it's pretty stretch lace over lightweight beige stretch mesh. Band from wing out are 4" long apiece, cups and frame comprise 13" of the band width.
No issues here currently with strap shifting or cut too short as seems often the case in GG+ sizing at this end of the band range.
Straps length is 14" with a taut hold but gives another inch to accommodate my idiot tall/wide/thin shoulders.
Band adjusts between 4 sets of hook & eye- made from a 2" tall felt strip with sets of 3 hooks per setting. Materials and findings seem to be the same weight and gauge typical for HH cups in median band sizes such as 75/34".
It's good 'to be home again' after fussing between discontinued bravissimos, ck's, cleos & feelingly weirdly flattened in gorsenia. Certainly don't mean to complain but gods why can't there be a BM/SF hybrid with the center 'room boost' panel from SF and the absolutely nuts wire depth of the BM?

Looking at these photos, I would say you look kinda squished for the most part. If you get a chance, you should try a cup size up.
With that said, you and I are very similar in shape and I have the same issue (in the right size) with the upper lace just sort of feeling less secure. I have been in denial about why, thinking it's just too big, but I think I just lack that top fullness in order for it to feel secure. Just can't fill it out. So if you're FOB like me, maybe that's all there is to it!
