For reference, I am petite (5'1") with wide set breast tissue that is slightly tuberous and gravitates towards my armpits and sags.

I think I'm probably due to self-measure myself because the 30 band size on this Gossard felt looser than some of the others that I have. It could also be that due to the cooler autumn months, I'm not retaining as much water or as bloated overall and maybe that is manifesting itself in how my band fits.

The 30D Superboost bras from Gossard have removable pads, but 30DD does not...a major disappointment.

I have a LOT of Superboost bras (thanks to having debilitating chronic illness I always ... have spare clean bras in case I'm feeling too unwell to do laundry) and this one fits differently than some of the other 30DDs that I have. Perhaps it is the dye lot or color used for the purple? The cups don't feel like they make contact with my body as nicely; they seem a little stiff. Hopefully a few more washings will make the bra feel softer against my skin.

I feel like I've been bamboozled! I've been doing non-padded Gossard 30DDs and decided to try the "padded" version. My 30Ds had removable inserts but to my surprise, the 30DDs do not. Apparently I didn't get the memo that when you're a DD, you don't need removable inserts anymore. *eyeroll* The lack of padding in the 30DD also makes me look a lot pointier than the 30D did. The construction of the seams doesn't help, either. I understand that this is a larger cup size and needs to be constructed a particular way but it's very interesting how drastic the overall fit ... and look is when going up one size.

The cup coverage and wire length on the 30DD is much better than the 30D (no spillage). What I noticed about the 30DD is that the straps are much wider than the 30D. The straps are too wide for my shoulders and keep twisting, or I have to keep pulling them up closer to my neck before they twist and end up at the very edge of my shoulders. It seems like the manufacturers of bras seem to think that once you reach a certain size, you're also super-tall. I'm 5'1" and did not have this issue with the 30D but it is an issue with the 30DD.

FAVORITE. This is the first bra that I ever found that fit me. I usually have issues with strap separation but not even close with this baby. Looks freaking beautiful and provides cleavage without smooshing anything together. Perfect fit. Lots of colors as well.
