This is quite an odd fit. I realised after I ordered it that the A-F size range didn't include DD, so this is more like a 32E. I am more of a 28G, but I was determined to make this work!

The wires are very narrow, and require a lot of swooping and scooping to get all my tissue inside. The cups appear to be quite deep, as the spillage wasn't as bad as I expected from a too-small cup with too-narrow wires.

The main problem is coverage. The cups only just cover my nipples. Too much moving and my very soft tissue would make a break for freedom. ... I was hoping to get on board the 'underwear as outerwear' trend, and wear this under sheer shirts, but unfortunately that just won't work.

The straps are very stretchy, so combined with the too-big band, not a lot of lift is given. My breasts sit very low on my body in this bra. I'm not sure the longline is the best style for me either, as my underbust is smaller than my waist, so it cuts in to my stomach very unflatteringly.

So overall, not a great success https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Shame, as it's my favourite colour!

This is a great example of a bra that doesn't fit, but you keep it anyway. I'd say this runs at least a cup size small, if not a bit more. The cups are quite shallow and the wires a bit wide for the size. The gore didn't come close to tacking. The band is firm and seems spot on. There is flexible boning in the band adjacent to the cups. The cups themselves are molded, entire inflexible and, though the lining is soft, seem to be made of some kind of cardboard type material.

The color is a deep olive green with a black tiger ... print. Gorgous and really unique. The straps are 1/2 adjustable, have a double attachment at each side in the front and one attachment in the back. They are also removeable, so that this becomes a strapless bra. Not very supportive, but serviceable in a pinch. And even with the poor fit, this honestly pushes my boobs into my armpits less than any other strapless I've ever tried.

I'm keeping it because green is my favorite color and I love the straps, especially to add bulk to tanks with those silly string straps that look comical with my bust. It was very inexpensive and I will keep it around just for specific shirts. I'd probably try a larger cup size if it were available, but I think this is it. And even though I can't imagine I will ever need/want to wear something strapless again, I figure its nice to have a convertable around just incase.
