I was sure Gossard's new Gypsy bra was going to be perfect. Unlined, nude-ish, some stretch lace. I wasn't sure what size to get with it though because Gossard hasn't been the most consistent on sizing for me. I ordered a 30F, a 30E and a 32E. For reference in cleos I'm a 30F. The 32 band was much too loose. I fastened it on the second set of hooks right away and could have easily used the third set. So on to the 30s. The 30E was unsurprisingly too small. But the shape was a lot like the ... Gossard super plunge lace I have in 32DD. Also it's just one hook in the back and between that and the stretchy straps I feel much too bouncy.... Even if I wasn't quadding on my bigger side. So I eagerly grab the last one .... The cup was much too big. I could have put two ping pong balls in side by to finish filling out the top of the cup. The shape I got was less rounded than I like.... Probably a lot to do with the cup being too large. The nude also wasn't as nude for me as I would have hoped. Think rose gold but rose nude- pretty sure that isn't a thing but that is the best way for me to describe the color. I loved the way it said vintage (albeit 70s-early80s) to me but not how it rubbed my armpit. I've gotten overly protective of my armpit. If I'd gotten it on half price I probably would have tried to attach the straps in on the cup some and taken up a bit of the slack. I piniched it that way and it had promise but at almost full price I'm not very excited about trying. Cry! I also ordered a couple other nude bras from Journelle at the same time and a black Heidi Klum - nothing fit right. I'm so thankful for their free returns.
The band on the 30 is 30-30.5 stretched and on the 32 it's about 32-33"
The depth on the 32E is about 10-10.5 and the 30F about 10.5" and on the 30E is 9". I see now easily why neither fit. I like 9.5" depth a lot of times. The width on all is three is approximately 5.25"
