So tight! I am 27" around my ribs and this bra is super tight, yet claims to be a 30-band. Riiiiight! If you are 26" or even 24" you might want this bra. You may also like this style if your breasts are a bit further apart. The photo I listed with me wearing the bra is not fully swooped-and-scooped or else I would have to censor it. but even not fully swooped in, I cause intense wrinkling at the bottom because I am pulling the cups too hard across my chest--the cups are too padded for me and my close-set and solid breast tissue has no room ...AND the band is too tight so it creates a disaster. I love low cuts and padding but this bra screwed it up.
It's too wide open and padded for me. I love the plunge, though, and the wider strap placement was nice for me (no armpit bulge for the first time ever). Oh well. I really wish this bra fit. I tried it in 32-something at a store and it was still weird in the cups. Huh.
Recommended for: 24 or 26 bands, far apart breasts, maybe a 24DD/26D/DD. Check those measurements to be sure.

I heard this brand ran small in the band. Not this style! More detail later but boy was the band bigger than expected. I am not a true 30 band (27") but I generally wear 30s and they aren't as gappy as this. I think this one runs big for 30s even. I definitely need to wear it on the tightest hooks, which is odd because the other Parisa bra I bought with this one is ridiculously tight for me and can barely fit on the loosest row. It's so disappointing when brands vary so much in the band sizes. Makes me not want to buy from them again.
Straps adjust fully, comfortable bra. Padding is sexy. 4 hooks per row is nice but the band is too loose for me so that hardly matters.
This bra has 4 hooks. It doesn't feel tight or loose in the band to me probably because the top of the band is not bigger than the bottom of the band. Most women are V shaped so most bra bands are made for V shaped women. I am not V shaped and this band is not tight on me at all. It feels more loose than all my other bras. Above my under bust is smaller than my under bust. Makes bra fitting for me really hard. The cups are really wide, which isn't really a problem for me except the strap need to be taken in and then this bra would be a nice fit instead of the straps/cups being in my armpits.
I ordered this in a 30E. I was soooo excited about a plunge push-up in this size. I measure a 27 snug and a 25 tight, but this... this was a contraption made in hell. It's around 25 inches stretched. I got it on, but my breasts wouldn't even fit in the cups. There was no room with all the padding. Not only that though, it looks to be about 2 cup sizes too small. I took a deep breath and popped a freaking seam and now the gore is about to fall off so I can't even return it -.-
My rib cage actually measures 23 inches so this ridiculously tight band was actually to my benefit. Between the thick band, thick straps, and 4 hook closure this is very well built. The push up isn't that much. Looks great under t shirts without a camisole! However I will say the straps are much too long for a short, high-boobed (is that a thing?) girl like me!
When I ordered this bra, I was wearing 30 bands. I'm pregnant and by the time the order had arrived, my ribcage had expanded and now this band is too tight! Ugh! A brand new bra, too!
