This bra fit while I had more milk, but wasn't very comfortable. The way it's cut makes the material rub against my arm and is quite sore by the end of the day. The band is a tighter one, which for me is a good thing since I have small ribcage. Definitely not for a true 30 band size. While the band fits, the center gore doesn't lay flat against me. Tons of room in these cups now days too. The straps are way to far apart for my liking. That's actually probably part of the problem why I get the painful rubbing under my arm after a full day's wear.
The previous owner of this NWT Debenhams bra was right in saying that the band was very tight. The band is definitely for a 28 or even 26 back person, not 30 as labeled. I prefer to wear 28 backs but this felt similar to wearing them on the last hook, with the elastic stretched most of the way. Fit perfectly in the cups though (I wear 28H-HH) and this "30H" fit, cross to both sizes I normally wear.
This bra is very cute. I like the simple floral pattern, which is a nice change from the more ornate decoration of so many bras. It mostly fits well, but the tops of the cups do not lie completely flat. I'm shallow and FOB, and I think the cut anticipates a bit more upper fullness. However, there is plenty of room in the bottom of the cups, and the gaping is meager enough to not be noticeable, under clothes. The band is also very tight -- although it's a 30 band, it doesn't stretch more than 29 inches. Unstretched, it's 24 inches. I've worn it a few times so far, and the band has yet to gain more stretch. This bra could be a good consideration for those who need the more elusive 28 band.
I have had great luck with Ewa Michalak and Cleo bras, but I can't help but try whatever I can find in my size, which led me to buying 2 bras from the Debenham's Gorgeous line. I haven't seen many reviews about these. This one is very cute, with white lightly padded foam seamed cups with blue daisies. I really like the shape of the actual bra, it reminds me of what a "regular" bra would look like if I had a typical size. The bra also gave me a great shape. However, the fit is definitely off. The cup size is 1-2 sizes smaller than what I normally find in a 30H, and the back is very tight. I would put this at a 28H, or 28 GG. If it fit, I would definitely keep it. For comparison, the other Debenham's bra I got (also in a 30H but unpadded), fit pretty spot on in the cup and the band. I'm not sure if it's just the padded style or this one in particular that is so small.
I just purchased this bra from Debenhams taking a huge chance since I'm in the US and their international sales are not returnable. I ordered my usual 36H and although the cup is a little small, it's not terrible. I was actually able to use a bra extender at the clasp and it gave me just enough room in the cups. I also ordered a non padded bra from the same line and did not have this problem. It just may be the padded styles that run a little small.
