Christ on a bike this is one beautiful bra. It's soft, comfortable, and stays put even when I jump around wildly to loud music (one of my standard tests when trying on bras). The band is very firm; I *can* pull it to 32", but it sits like a tight 30 on me, moreso than a Cleo.
I have a few minor fit issues, though: the bra's a little on the small side for me, probably a cup size too small, so there's some quadboob, especially on my bigger breast, and the gore is not always touching my sternum. The straps are very thin, and while I don't need ... them for support (the band does all the work here!), they sometimes cut into my shoulders (even after adjusting). I'd prefer a bit more width to them. However, it's still perfectly wearable, and I'll definitely be keeping it. Maybe I can make a few of the problems smaller, with the help of my trusty seam ripper, and a little needle and thread.
Edit: narrowed the gore from the bottom and up, changing the angle of the cups to make them more open on top, added a tape with a couple of more eyes to the back, and now it fits like a boob in boob glove. Thank the Gods for sewing machines!
