The straps (which are only half-adjustable) come out in my armpits, which, with my broad shoulders, is a *very* rare thing. The wires are also a smidge too wide, leaving the cups empty at the sides and bottom-outer corner. I'm normally a 30G, but I'm glad I sized up as I have narrow and projected boobs. As it is now this bra is the wrong shape for me: there's both flattening/quadding and wrinkling at the top of the cups; a 30G would have been far too small. Ideally the Orla should have more immediate depth at the gore and along the wires, if it were to fit me ... better. The gore is also too high - my boobs get closer-set higher up, so the wires are pushed together at the top. The band feels very sturdy and firm - good for those inbetween sizes (go for the larger one if you want to breathe). I'm using a one-row extender while I break the bra in. Bending the wires (which I do to almost all of my bras anyway) made it more comfortable to wear. As for the look, it really is a gorgeous bra. The vanilla colour is perfect, much more flattering on my skintone than pure white bras. I want to call it 'Earl Grey custard' as it has the exact same colour as custard mixed with tea (which is delicious, by the by). The embroidery is darling, the whole bra looks very luxorious, and I feel super fancy wearing it.
