Short one for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I got this longline bra because it was cheap and because I was curious. I had a very vague idea about the sizing. Turns out that the band number probably is your overbust in inches or underbust+4, because this felt about as tight as the 30 band Freya longline I accidentally tried on (I thought it was a 36 or a 80 EU, when it was actually 80 FR, long story). Anyway, the cups are too small for me too. Not way too small, but I could use a couple sizes up.
The weirdest part of this bra is ... not the laminated cotton flannel shelf on the lower cups (heavy duty support!) or the vintage pointy sweater girl boob profile, but the non-stretchy straps. They have loops like the ones that are more often seen on the suspenders on snow pants. The ends are not sewn in! So if the straps are too long you can just cut the extra off.
I hope I can get some photos and measurements soon. I seem to have misplaced both my camera and my tape measure.
