UK 34DD. I really like this bra; one of my best fits so far!

Material: Feels like nylon, i.e. very strong and not very stretchy. Might be too stiff/scratchy for some people.

Band: Snug and strong. Has a side seam about an inch behind the top of the cup, but no boning. The two hooks are 3/4 inch apart, if you're considering an extender.

Cups: 3-part construction, with 2 vertical top-to-bottom seams. Neither seam lies directly across my nipple. There's a lace edging across the top, but no extra elastic band across the top. Very rounded shape on me. I have a bit of gaping across ... the top of the cup (especially if I move my arms around), but not enough that I consider it a major fit issue.

Wires: I think I've found my perfect wires. I tend to have this issue where I get the width and height right, but there's a bit of empty space, sometimes only an inch wide, in the very bottom along the wire. It's like I need a U-shaped wire, but with a flatter bottom than most seem to have. This wire is perfect on me: short under my arms, medium height in the gore without poking in at the top, and in my IMF all along the bottom. Yay! Also, the wires are fairly stiff not bendy, which I'm fine with when they fit me this well.

Gore: Tacks well on me from top to bottom. Medium height, fairly well-padded wires. I'd be okay with a narrower gore, but definitely no wider.

Straps: Straps themselves are nice and comfortable, but I'd like to move them about 2 inches inward on the cups to make them sit in the right spot on my shoulder so they don't slip around (I suspect this would help or completely solve the gaping issue at the top of the cup as well). Straps are fully adjustable.

this is a very pretty bra- the teal with polka dots is a cute combo, and the cream lace at the tops of the cups is a great compliment. there are also bows on the cup/strap connection and gore, and a tiny trim detail along the bottom of the band.

It does technically fit me, aside from the fact that i fasten the band on the middle. It seems quite stretchy, but as i haven't worn it for long periods of time, i'm not sure if it would become too large after a few wears and need to be sized down.The demi cup is great for my shape, ... with the top of the cup laying flat against me but not cutting in. i would say i get a gentle lift and slightly rounded shape. the straps dig slightly into my armpits, but nothing extreme. Under t-shirts, the seams and the top of the cup show through.

The major downside to this bra is the fabric choices- they make it very uncomfortable. The cup lining is softer, but the outside is a sort of weird crinkly overlay, which doesnt feel the greatest. They use the same material to make the straps, and it is chafing and scratchy like sandpaper- im red even with them too loose. This is especially bad in the fronts where they rub on my underarms. If this were in a different material i would keep it, especially since i'm having such a hard time finding a well fitting bra. But, i know with something this irritating i would end up throwing it in the dresser and never using it. Its probably better as a "fun" bra than a functional bra because of the show through and material choice.
