UK 34DD. A pretty good fit, although I once again have a tiny bit too much room in the apex, producing a slight pointiness.

Material: Feels like cotton! Everywhere but the top of the cup, that is; across the top of the cup is stretch lace. The embroidery is really pleasant-looking--it's a geometric pattern of circles and triangles, rather than the more common floral or lacy design. I like it. The whole bra feels smooth and sturdy.

Band: My other Wacoals are 36s (this one was on sale in 34). I can wear this 34, but I think I might use an extender at first just for ... comfort. There's a hidden side seam (hidden as in: the band is two layers of fabric, and only the inside layer has the seam). The two hooks are 3/4 inch apart, if you're considering an extender.

Cups: 2-part construction with one vertical top-to-bottom seam. I could use a little less projection at the apex of the cup and a little more projection in the outside of the cup, which is a frequent fit issue for me. The top edge has a very thin, very stretchy band of elastic.

Wires: Not my unicorn wires (apparently that's Freya Patsy Padded Halfcup), but better than many for me. They're a little wider on the outside than what I need, but not so much that it's uncomfortable--the extender might help. I once again get about 1 or 1.5 inches in the very bottom where the wire does not run along my imf. These wires are fairly stiff.

Gore: Tacks and doesn't dig. The band at the bottom of the gore panel has already decided to curl up some, after maybe an hour of wear. It's not doing this anywhere else, only on the gore. I don't really mind, but figured I'd note it.

Straps: I love the placement of these straps, which attach *just* outside of the very center of the cup's top edge. The straps themselves are fairly stretchy, and are fully adjustable.
