I got this a while ago from a Breakout Bras mystery 4 bras grab bag. At the time, I measured closer to 30F, and it was a little too big for me in the cups.

This bra works pretty well for me. The band runs fairly small, as I prefer a 28, but this is 30 ... and works alright. For British bras, this gets closer to Polish proportions than most I've tried- the cups are quite deep compared to the width, and it has the right amount of overall projection and immediate projection for my left boob. Unfortunately, my right boob has more immediate projection, and as a result the wire gets pushed down a bit on that side. This causes the top of the right cup to wrinkle. If I adjust the wire back up, the cup fits well on that side too, but it will shift back down.

The wires are too wide for me, and it would be best if it was about an inch narrower, but even a half inch would be a huge improvement. Still, as a person who regularly has too wide wires, these are not nearly as uncomfortable as some are. They go too far back, but do not poke or dig in.

The gore is pretty narrow, and works well for my close set breasts. However, I could see it as being a problem for others as it does come up a fair bit higher than a plunge would, and the lower part of the gore is more separated than the upper part.

The quality is either good or excellent, I haven't worn it enough to say for sure. I'll give excellent for now and if issues arise, drop down to good.

Comfort is pretty good as well. My only complaint is the lace can be itchy in general, and as someone who has eczema year round, and sometimes nipple eczema during flareups, I cannot imagine this being wearable then.

Appearance is not my style. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is transparent lace and many would probably prefer it for the bedroom. I, however, am asexual, and am just looking for a comfortable bra to wear under everyday clothes. The colorway I have is black lace with a little bit of blue solid fabric as side support and along the gore and the band on the front. It's a nice design, but not for me.

Overall, I'd recommend giving this a try before going Polish. If you are a 28 band, you may be able to wear the 30. If you are in between bands, I'd recommend the bigger one. The cups have a lot of depth, so you may need a cup down from normal. If you have a shallow shape, I would not recommend this bra.
