I usually wear a UK32H with most brands, and took the size calculator on the site to be recommended a bra size of UK32JJ and their size of a M/Super. Partially ignoring this information (because 32JJ is ridiculously oversized on me), and taking into account that a lot of reviews stated that the band was quite loose, I looked at the size guide and determined that a size S/Super would be more ideal for me.
Visually the bra is really beautiful, with the unicorn galaxy print I was itching to get, but once it was on (which took quite a while because big bust and small rib cage make ... for awkward pulling on without a hook and eye closure) I wasn't feeling too great.
First of all, the straps were incredibly short. By design, they seem to be made for the small pixie women the site always mentions. (I have a long torso for my 1,72m/5'8" height). It is so short that I felt the bra was determined to make my boobs start at my collarbones, rather than where they actually start; at about the height of my armpits. Because of this my center-heavy tissue felt the need to escape out the middle at the (by design) non-existent gore. Then there was the issue of the band being too loose in the back and it riding up (despite my sizing down), but being too tight in the front where I actually needed it. Turns out I have a need for two different band sizes in this brand...
I'd say this is a no-fit for me, mainly because my tissue is way too soft for something with hardly any construction to give me enough support, when not even regular bras can provide this for me. If I had firmer tissue I'd at least consider altering the band of a larger size to fit tighter in the back, but I'm not seeing a good future with this bra. I'm sending it back and hoping that someone else has a better experience with it.
Edit: In hindsight the cups were probably too small for me. I have now been wearing an M Super and while it feels alright with the fit (absolutely amazing in the comfort department though, because no wires means I have barely any chafing in the summer), the band is riding up in the back and the straps still feel quite short. Someone has pointed out to me that a bigger cup size might help so I am soon going to get an M Mega and S Mega to compare.
