Such a pretty bra, I really wanted it to work, and if I come across one in a 30G/GG or something I would give it another go. I'm learning that I am closer to a 32FF ( @Cleo Lucy, and @Cleo Lily) I also have learned that I have high roots, soft breast, average width, full on bottom, and pendulous. I'm a fairly tall woman at 5ft10.
The band is really stretchy, and I could wear it on tightest hooks straight out of the gate. The cups are way too small and I would need maybe 2 cups bigger for it to fit properly. Especially after s&sing all ... my tissue into the bra. Lastly, I did feel like it was pushing/pressing my back fat up more and made me look fatter than I am. Again, probably because I have high roots, the band has to be higher up on my long torso in order to get the wires in my inframammary fold.
So, all in all, maybe this isn't the right style of bra for me, it's definitely the wrong size. I think a longline that is long in the front and regular in the back like a bustier style, maybe that would work better for me. Especially since the extra fabric/band beneath the wires would help keep the wires in my fold (I think) But then it would be a bustier, not a longline, right?

"The band is really stretchy, and I could wear it on tightest hooks straight out of the gate."
I could do that with ALL my bras! As long as the bra band does stay put when you move, there's no need to do so.
I tried the JFI myself and I found the band to be surprisingly stable, despite its stretchiness.
Also, the JFI has only 2 rows of hooks, and going down a whole band size will give you a WAY tighter bra than hooking it to the tightest setting. (Tried that myself and failed miserably.)
It's a pity the JFI runs small (and shallow) in the cups, because small cups will make the whole thing fit weirdly. Your "back fat" issue might indeed be a cup size issue. :|
