Backstory: I have another Gorgeous by Debenhams bra in 30E. It almost fits me although my usual size is 28G. I don't have noticeable quadboob in it and no noticeable side spillage either. So I was curious how a 30FF would fit me if 30E is not that bad. Boob type: Firm, FoT.
So I got this bra in 30FF. And what you know, it fits perfectly. The wire is narrow, which is what I need, and it seems sturdy as well. The cup doesn't cut in on top of my boobs, although there's a ribbon on top of the cup. That usually causes problem for me, but ... not this one.
The band is really firm and tight, so even though it says 30, it is actually 28.5 (If I pull it to 29", the wires start to distort a little). I think Gorgeous bras run tight in the band? My 30E also doesn't stretch out to be 30", more like 29". On my 27" underbust, it is still snug while being comfortable. These days I'm leaning more and more towards 30-bands instead of my usual 28", simply because I feel it still gives me support while not compromising comfort.
As for the bra design itself, oh it's so cute! There's ruffles running along the band. I usually hate ruffles, but this is small and cute enough to add to the aesthetic of the bra. The flower embroidery on top of the cup is really bright pink, so it gives a nice contrast between the white and the pink. There's ribbon running along on top of the cup in mint green and white, plaid pattern. The ribbon on the centre gore is also the plaid pattern, with a pink ribbon on the loop. The straps are partly adjustable, but it doesn't cause problems on me. Others might be put off by this fact.
All in all, I'm really loving this bra, and I intend to find more Gorgeous by Debenhams bras to add to my arsenal!
