Absolutely gorgeous bikini top – just too big in the band AND in the cups, I'd need a 30GG.

I have this in a 70G as well. It's otherwise fine, but too small in the cups, so I ordered a 70GG.

It’s still the same, beautiful bra, but wtf – it has a ridiculously stretchy/large band! The band was just perfect in the 70G, so this is a bit bewildering. Even on the tightest hooks it rides up in the back and pulls the straps so close together they are able to slip between my shoulder blades. All in all a very uncomfortable combination, not to mention the lack of support. Hopefully I’ll get away by just narrowing it down... a lot. Edit: Nope. I didn't.

The weird part is that it’s still just fine at the front. The centre gore sits flat against the sternum, and the cups are just perfect (even though for some reason it looks like I’m spilling out in the middle in the picture, but that’s not the case). And I just adore the CHP shape, it’s like tailor-made for me.

Update 18 September:

Bah, the bra is too wide for me, after all :/ I notice that I leave it in the dresser because during all-day wear, the wires start to poke and the too-far-apart straps kind of dig in my armpits.

So I'll just have to list it and go for a 30H.

16 July:
Well this was an interesting acquaintance!

When I received the bra, my first thought was that the cups are HUGE, there’s no way in the world I’m going to fill those!

And indeed, the cups are very big – but funnily enough, not really too big. I think I could go with a 30H, too, i.e. a size ... smaller both in the band and the cup, but I might be in risk of quad-boobing. The 32H gives more coverage than the half-cups I currently own, but that definitely isn’t a problem, on the contrary. The support is really amazing!! The cups are actually too wide for me, and the straps are really wide-set, which I assumed would feel uncomfortable, but surprisingly enough, the whole package just feels really firm and supportive. I could even run a bit in this bra without having to be afraid of ending up with two black eyes.

Even though there's no gaping in the cups themselves, the lace on the top of the cup doesn’t sit perfectly flat (which I assume it would were the cups a tad smaller), but it sets as I put a shirt on. The thick embroidery + the “gaping” lace means that I can’t wear this bra under shirts with thin material, but for me it’s not really a problem.

The band is very firm and doesn’t stretch much. I wear this on the second-tightest hooks as new, but I hope I won’t have to alter down it too soon. There are only two hooks, which is a definite con. The band is also a bit weirdly constructed so that it looks as if it’s riding up, even though it sits put. I love the supportiveness of the band, but it’s not exactly a back fat eliminating whole.

And the straps... Padded, flat comfort straps!!!! <3

Summa summarum: this actually should be a far worse fit than it really is: too wide and slightly large cups, wide-set straps, not-really-perfect band... but the whole is incredibly comfortable and supportive. The Delphi looks like a special occasions bra (so pretty!), but I suspect this one will be my heavy-used everyday bra.

Based on the measurements, I was a bit sceptical (I assumed it would be slightly too small in the cups). I was even more sceptical that there exists a bra that would actually keep girls this size in place without straps.

But lo and behold, I was wrong on both instances! This bra stayed in place perfectly, was very supportive, and to top it off, gave a fairly nice shape! It isn't the most comfortable bra for sure, but then again I doubt any strapless is...

The cup folds at the bottom in an odd way, but it doesn't show under clothes so it doesn't bother me. ... Well, to be honest, it would bother me were this a normal bra, but in this case that's definitely something I can overlook.

I can wear strapless tops and dresses, for the first time ever!!!

I have this bra in 32H because I figured from the measurements that it would fit. However, it was too big both in the band and the cup, so I got myself a 30H.

It's pretty near perfect. Love the rounded yet somewhat compressed shape, love the comfort straps, love the looks... Everything! The band is snug but that's definitely no problem, it is bound to stretch with wear anyway.

The straps, however, are REALLY wide-set. Luckily they're soft and wide so they don't dig in, but I get a weird gaping on the side on my left (= my smaller boob) when I lean forward and/or turn my shoulders forward. I assume this is because of the wide-set straps, so I'll make a fitting help request and probably move the straps closer if my suspicions are confirmed.
