I routinely wear a 40F. In this bra I wore a 38F, which is down a cup size and down a band size. I would've gone down 2 cup sizes, but the cups were about 1/2 inch not deep enough (meaning that the F cup was still a little too big, particularly on top).
Very comfortable bra. It has side cup wings that help with structure. It feels solid, and the material feels of good quality.
I was all set to rave about the Imogen Rose Cotton Mix at a whopping $35 (!), but it came out of the VERY FIRST wash with a ... wire poking out of the center gore. So, so sad.
To be fair, the label does call for hand washing, which I did not do. I wash all of my bras in the washing machine, and then hang dry. Generally, my bras last about 2 years. I've never had one go bust on the first go. Will not buy again.
UPDATE:
I also bought the 38E at the same time, not knowing which size would fit better, and even after this bra busted, I willingly and happily wore the size down because it remains one of my more comfortable bras. And, I've had no problems with the 38E wires. I've decided the busted wire was user error, or perhaps just a fluke. I will most certainly be buying this again - and in the 38F size.
