This is a lovely neutral colored bra, which is supposedly based on the Floris cut. And like the Floris, I find it very deep with immediate projection
In fact, it does fit me fairly well, with 2 main exceptions.
First, the fabric is much softer than the Floris. The Floris fabric is smooth and strong. The Olivia fabric is a lovely soft feel, and it does seem fairly firm, but not quite as firm as the Olivia's fabric. This seems to cause it to not press in as firmly on the outer cups, allowing the breasts to bulge out to the sides slightly more than ... the floris.
But the killer for me is the top of the cups. The Floris is extremely open on top, to the point where there is loose fabric folding down on many women. In fact, it did this to me when it was new, but seemed to fit better when washed.
Apparently, in order to correct for this, the shape of the top of the cup of the Oliva was slightly changed, and in addition to using a stretch lace for the top section of the cup, the top is also trimmed with elastic. Elastic which cuts in to my larger breast.
My hopes for a neutral color bra that fits me was dashed because the elastic makes the bra slightly less FOT friendly than the Floris.
Lovely, deep, soft - not as FOT friendly as I need.
