This bra was one of 3 in the same brand and band size I ordered from Zulily and the band is completely different than the other 2. This one is more like a 70; I was only able to try it on by using an extender on the loosest hooks. I suspect it was mis-marked from the manufacturer because the other 2 styles were consistent with each other and fit fine. The cups were all too deep/large - and much larger than the size chart indicated - but the K wasn't clearly larger than the J.
This is a very pretty bra and seems well made ... with nice materials. It was described as a plunge, but it isn't, although it isn't overly full-coverage either. It has only 2 hooks, which I feel is criminal in this cup size - but it does have 4 rows of 'em. Straps are fully adjustable.
Although the cups are very deep at the apex, it does not have the immediate projection I require. In fact, for such a large cup size, I was shocked at the lack of projection at the wire. The cups simply folded above the underwire under the weight and shape of my boobs. This was true for all 3 of the Vena styles I tried, so I can only guess that you'd need either really flexible, or very volcano-shaped, boobs, to fit into the cups properly.
Update after a few pounds lost: the band now fits fine but I get substantial wrinkling along the vertical seams under each boob as well as creasing above the underwires as a consequence of the lack of projection there. The cup on my smaller side has vertical wrinkles near the strap and the lace along the top edge of each cup looks almost ruffled. All that being said, it's quite cute on and not uncomfortable at first blush. I'll update the comfort rating after a full day's wear.
