I tried this bra through Amazon Prime Wardrobe, though it's significantly cheaper elsewhere.
I got this in a 32G (Aubade currently only goes up to a G) and my ABTF size is 32G/GG (or more) depending on projection.
This is for the "Comfort Full Cup" version; they also have a couple others with the same style number. (DA13)
Band:
* Seemed true to size.
Wires:
* Seemed firm.
Straps:
* Very interesting. Check my pics to see how it has a tulle overlay. This overlay is also on the cups, looking like a side sling but is only decorative.
Cups:
* One beige mesh layer plus one black decorative layer. Easiest to see in my pic of ... the label.
* No inner side sling; the outer tulle 'sling' is decorative only and easier to see on their website. https://www.aubade.co.uk/aubade-a-l-amour-770.html
About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow roots, very projected at the wire, functionally even to full on bottom, short roots, relatively soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.
FIT
* The band length was great when I tried it on upside down and backwards, But since the cups were too small, the band got stretched to a point of being quite tight.
* The gore floated by a fair bit, maybe a half inch, I'd guess I need to size up at least 2 cups (which they don't carry in this style). But it was as narrow as can be without overlapping, so that was great for me. (You can't see it in these photos.)
* The cups are clearly too small due to the gore placement, but I don't get quadding so that was nice. The scalloped lace at the neckline does look like it might float a bit. The cups are almost narrow enough for me; enough that'd I'd allow the width. But they don't have near enough enough immediate projection for me - I think this is meant for someone with average projection, maybe even a little. shallow.
* The straps are interesting, which is nice. The sliders are quite loose but if that ever became a problem I'd just tack them with some thread.
OVERALL IMPRESSION
* This bra is beautiful. I'd gladly pay the full price for it if it came in the size and shape I'd need.
