This was a $4 bra bought “used” with tag still on it, is a full size above “normal” for me, based on other reviews of wacoal and B.tempt’d I gave it a shot since my impression was cups AND band run small. A quick trial in fitting room I thought it fit, standing up straight and trying to hurry. Now I’m actually wearing (about an hour in as I’m writing) the cups are too large but Not in my opinion a full size too big, part of it is my shape versus bra shape I think. I’m full and round on the bottom, on top top is short ... and flat. Balconette style Demi bras “fit” best on my breast, but so far I hate them they don’t cover enough boob.
The band fits on the tightest hook, which means a 30 should fit me on loosest hook, which is likely what I will do when I order wacoal because of everyone who says the band stretches out fast. Oh my god this band is comfortable and what underwire? Because I can’t even feel it. My straps are not original to this bra, they suck and are crazy long.
Shape looks weird looking down, not quite sure why/how, looks fine in mirror though. Wide set straps in front are probably going to end up annoying me.
UPDATE; the wires dig in at front on me, wide set straps are fine though.

The cups on this bra have a weird shape, which is resulting in quad boob. It's not that the cups themselves are too far apart, it's the fact that as you go from the "nipple" portion to the inner sides of the cups, it has a sharper curve. So it gives a weird shape in addition to cutting in. If it had more of a rounded curvature to that part, the cups would fit pretty well. My only other problem with this bra is that there's virtually no give to the band; my tight fit is 27" & comfy is 28", this thing is 26.5" baseline and only ... stretches (which takes effort) to 28". I feel like I would fit this bra better as a 34C, as there would be more options for a better ribcage fit.

Also, I'd like to note that the measurements were taken fresh out of the mailbox. So if you wonder why my stretched-band measurement is so much less than others, that might be why. I imagine theirs were measured after some wear. I see reviews and measurements saying that the band stretches out super fast, and people have had to go from the loosest hook to the tightest within a couple weeks of wear. So if that's the case, and you were to order this bra, I'd say look into buying a band size smaller in anticipation of stretching. But on the other hand, I could barely hook a 32 in this bra, so I can't imagine being able to hook a 30; I'd have to stretch it by hand first instead of through wearing.
