SUPER belated review! Lavender is my favorite color, so when I saw SF Garden I knew I would need it someday, but her SF bras don't fit me great and aren't super flattering on me. I initially asked for Ewa to make it a CHP, but she couldn't so I had her make it into a PL cut. I normally wear 65G in her PLs but someone told me the SF Garden ran loose in the band, so I ordered a 60GG.
Unfortunately, this bra is just too big in the cups and too small in the band. I can add cookies to both sides (I add two cookies ... to my smaller side) and make the cups fit, and I can use an extender to make the band fit better. The stretched band measurement isn't any smaller than most of my 60 band Ewa bras, but the unstretched measurement is half an inch to an inch smaller. That might be why it feels too tight; my ribcage has almost no squish. I highly prefer not to have to bother with extenders, which is another reason I haven't really worn this.
For some reason, the wires are also too narrow - I've never found a bra so narrow it actually sat on my breast tissue on the side, but this bra does that on my bigger side, just the tiniest bit but enough to be uncomfortable. When I took the measurements I measured the cup width at 5.1 inches, which is typical of EM bras in this size range, but it may have been more like 5 inches. No matter how much I scoop and swoop from the side I can't seem to make the wires feel comfortable.
The bra is absolutely beautiful and the panties are so soft and silky. I'm incredibly sad that I can't make this work for me and am considering ordering another PL Garden in a 65FF.

I want the SF Garden (actually the SF version!) SO bad. This looks lovely on you--too bad it didn't work out.
