This bra is *very* shallow and meant to give lift. It only gave me the most awkward quadding I've ever experienced in a bra that's a DD. I'm not sure any size would fit me, this is absolutely the wrong cut on me.

Very natural looking fit, cups fit great for an unlined bra. Ever so slightly pinching at the center of the cups, so they are slightly too wide I think. Band is a bit tight, but other reviews say it stretches out over time. Not too tight, just noticable. Worried about the underwire under my arm, it digs in a bit and rides a little high. Straps feel secure.
Main concern is the gap under and to the side of my boob at the underwire. The underwire fits at the outside edge, but it runs high and the curve is a bit too much for me to fill out. The center is close to perfect, I think.

While the numbers looked good on paper, this bra does not fit. The band is slightly loose (which I somewhat expected on a 70 band), and the straps are barely long enough. The cups are too short and small, so I'm quadding a lot. The gore tacks, but the underwires don't stay in my IMF and keep riding up even when I tighten the band. This bra is beautiful and comfortable despite the issues, so I can absolutely suggest it to someone who is a bit smaller in the cup than I am. I think the cups are just a bit too separate for me too, though it's hard to tell since they are too small.

This bra feels really nice to wear, but the cup shape is wrong for me. I'm center full, and the side support styles are seeming to be a terrible matchup for me. The side support band squishes my sides flat and gives me a more pointy shape than I prefer. It would probably be a great fit for even fullness, but I think the volume at the center would be too much for outer fullness.

The elastic across one of the cups is tighter than the other, so it's messing up my fit a bit. It's causing a mix of slight quadding and some wrinkling in the cup, so the fit is weird. That's also my larger side, the one I usually judge by, so I'm going to extrapolate the fit from my smaller side for this one.
I feel like this bra would fit quite nicely if the cups were symmetrical. The color is beautiful, and otherwise the fit is good. The straps are adjusted all the way and are just a little too short, so I think it'll be fine after they stretch out from wear. As usual with most of the side support styles so far, the cup wrinkles at the sides (especially when I raise my arm). I feel like this style is pulling me a bit east-west, which might also be contributing to the wrinkling.

I wish this bra fit better. The pink is beautiful, the band fits comfortably, and the lace is beautiful. Unfortunately, I'm falling into the realm of the straps not being long enough again. I'm getting a lot of pulling and puckering at the sides of the cups, and the very top of the bra is too loose. If I pull down the straps so that there's more room in the cup, the gapping at the top of the cup becomes more apparent. I seem to fill the bottom just fine, and the cup is too wide again as usual. The deepest part of me comes just under the three-part seam, so maybe a 30D would work? I feel like the underwire will still be too wide. Otherwise, this bra is gorgeous. I might consider getting it altered if I decide to keep it, but I don't know if it's worth keeping without the top of the cups fitting.

I think it's a pretty good fit! The top lace near the strap is a bit tight and could cause quadding, but it's pretty good! Slight wrinkles at the seams, but the fabric seems stiff so I assume it'll get better over time and washes. It still seems to flatten the sides of my boobs a bit, but it's much better than the other sizes I've tried.

Very slight wrinkling across the apex from the nipple to the center of the underwire. Not a terrible fit! I feel like if I went down a cup size it would be too small, so maybe a 28DD or 28E would be better. Again, underwire is too wide, but it's a lot closer.

This bra is beautiful, but it is meant for someone a bit more top heavy and wider rooted than I am. I think the bra I got had a manufacturing issue: the right cup is 1.8cm larger at the depth than the left. My left side is larger, but not so much that there would be as much extra gapping as I saw. The band is also more stretchy than the other Aubade I have, and it is only barely tight enough on the middle hook. I don't think it had enough lower projection either, and the straps were too tight and pulled the sides more taught taut than was appropriate. I would have gotten a 28 band if they offered it, but this band almost fit closer to a 32 on me than a 30. Otherwise, this was a soft bra with comfortable straps, band, and cup lining.

Very plain bra, but smooth under shirts. The lip at the edge of the cup flips out ever so slightly, so sometimes an edge is visible if my boobs are smaller than average due to fluctuations. The adjustable back to racerback is a bit fiddly to do and undo, but it's very secure when it's clasped properly. Thought for a long time this was too big, turns out I wasn't wearing it tight enough and wasn't scooping. Fits comfortably even though the wire is too wide.
