I THINK I MAY HAVE FOUND MY HOLY GRAIL BRA! Or I'm a lot closer, anyway. I have never experienced a fit so perfect.
I fill the cups completely with the top edge making a smooth line, and the center gore lies flat against my sternum. The band never rides up even though I can fit a whole fist under it.
Whether what I have spilling out the sides -- as you can see in the back shot -- is escaped breast tissue or just fat, is debatable. But the underwire's placement is comfortable. My only concern so far is they way ... my belly causes the lace on the bottom edges of the cups to curl up at the bottom (you can see this in the front shot). I am open to suggestions on what to do about that.
I must also note that is comfortable lying down, which is important to me because I like to recline in order to relax. In my current living situation, that usually means just lying in bed.
Thank you, Bratabase! The last time I tried to get measured at a store, the woman doing so pronounced me a "big B." I had to take off my shirt to prove to her that I was wearing (and pushing out the center gore on) a DD-cup and she practically fell over in shock. Who knows how long getting to this size/cut combination would have taken without this website.

Too much quad boob. Cup much too low on sides, almost no side support near armpits at all. I returned this bra.

SOOOO TIGHT

Cant's judge it because it's too tight even with an extender. Right now I am "standard" a 36 band, 38 in Panache/Polish. This is a 32/34 imo. It feels itchy also, maybe that would go away. Too bad; it's lovely and the cups fit great. I love that Panache doesn't put the straps in my armpits!!!

I'm still trying to find my perfect size, but I feel like 36FF should have been it. The band was too tight on the loosest setting. The straps felt a little too skinny and dug into my shoulders. I was afraid for the lace on the cup, although it was beautiful and soft, I was worried that it would wear out or tear quickly. The nursing clasps seem to be very good however.

I had actually ordered a Freya 36FF nursing bra on eBay and this one came to me by mistake. I will be returning it and hope that the Freya doesn't fit so tightly.

- Band is comfortable, and I like that this bra also has a wider band on the sides, although the band does come up a bit high under my arm and digs in a bit
- Underwire is close to my breast root
- Straps are comfortable, and I like the way that they kind of cut in at the top of the cup, relieving my shoulders
- I think that the cups fit well. There is only a slight gap near the straps if I slouch or lean forward
- The gore lies flat and is comfortable
- The lace near the edges looks pretty, but it is a little rough (although I did not wash the bra), and I have sensitive skin

The best thing about the Andorra, for me, is the stretch lace at the top of the cup. It's forgiving. I was advised to order up one cup size for the Andorra, and I think that I might have ended up with a bra too loose on top if the lace wasn't stretchy! This isn't the first bra that I grab out of my drawer as the gore is quite high and feels a fit pokey for awhile - maybe I'd have been better offer in the plunge version. Also, in this size, this bra slips down from my inframammary fold a bit after several hours of wear, so it might not have enough immediate projection in the bottom for my shape. My Andorra is black.
