I love the appearance of this bra.
This was the first unlined bra I successfully wore and pulled off in the wrong sizes (34 and 36B). As in, most unlined bras gave me snoopy boobs- long, unsupported, swoopy, thin- basically, it just looked like I had no bra on.
This bra gave me a rounded shape and there was no squishing even in the wrong size.
Kind of makes me wish I'd never sold the 34B (kept the 36B as I figured it was closer depth wise- and it is- the cups seem to run big).
So this bra in 32DD gives me a lot of extra bra on ... top. My boobs are about even, I'm very tall and shallow on top, even though my breast shape should make me FoT on my left side. I'm pretty much throwing that out the window because my boobs are semi tuberous, so I don't think normal ways of discovering if you're FoT or FoB apply to me.
Nipple placement and weird shape aside, I'm totally FoB to even. I am able to wear full cup bras and I sometimes have issues with closed cups, mainly right side, but I'm still too shallow on top to be totally FoT and overall, there's probably equal amounts of tissue on top and on bottom after being lifted. It's confusing, but I think I do best in bras meant for even fullness or semi FoB.
So- this bra. Either not good for FoB people or you need to go down a cup.
If you're much more FoT this may work in your usual/sister size. If you're even, I don't know, you may do ok with this. It's hard for me to judge based off of my own boobs.
I can say for sure, if you're mildly tuberous, go down a cup.
I'm planning on trying this in a 32D, because the cup depth of my 36B is perfect.
I still LOVE the look of this bra.
Even my boyfriend who hates lace, said this was his favorite back when I got my 36B.
It's just very delicate and stereotypically feminine looking, which I love.
I love the pink and white lace and all of the silk bows and detailing.
Unfortunately, I couldn't really justify wearing the 32DD because of the empty space up top. I can try scooping into it, and it's hardly noticeable, but just knowing makes me uncomfortable and it doesn't give me a nice shape like my others did.
The band on this is also decent. It's too big, but not so big that I'm not at all supported.
Overall though, I didn't want these bras for practicality, I wanted them more to feel pretty.
If they were supportive and gave me a semi different shape, they'd have been worn more often.
Unfortunately I'll be swapping this out for a 32D or selling to save up for the D.

Edit:
I've only been back on Spironolactone for a short time and already my boobs are filling out and getting rounder. With that said, I can now fit into this bra, and yay! I only wish the band was smaller. It's very stretchy and already a 32, so it doesn't feel secure like my more snug bands.
I think I would still prefer the look of the D, but keeping this for now as it's my boyfriend's favorite- and he's SUPER hard to impress in the bra/lingerie department Dx
I really like Jezebel. I so wish they'd carry smaller bands!
Edit2:
Measured. Cups measure 8" on bottom and 8.7-9 on top. That explains why the cups were too roomy on top. I need 8.7- 9" in the very center.
This is definitely a FoT bra.
Luckily the band isn't so slack that the cups don't stick to my chest, otherwise this wouldn't work at all. If you have firm tissue and are even or FoB, this is definitely a no go.
If you have soft tissue and are FoB/even, and the 32+ bands fit enough to get the gore to tack, you may be able to manipulate your tissue to fit as I have.
