This was my second stop on my bra-fitting journey. I'd started with an Ewa CH Purple in 36DD, which was my pre-bra-enlightenment size. It was obviously too big in the band, so I scooted one cup size up and one band down, to the Karmelki 34F. It wasn't until a few months after the Karmelki that I measured myself properly. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The band is pretty firm, but not tight on me at all (at least, not anymore). The most I had the nerve to stretch the bra was 33" or so, so if I were a true 34 band, it would have been ... a very snug fit. The cups fit very comfortably without the cookies before the weight loss, but now, even with the cookies, I can't quite fill the cups.

The underwires are nice and narrow, though, which is great for my very front-and-center root. And I can't say enough about the beautiful build quality - the cups are also cotton-lined, which is very comfortable on hot days. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

One of my first post-enlightenment bras. Unfortunately, the Dillards I went to didn't stock 30 bands at all, so I made do with a few 32s (this one and the Chantelle 32FF UK/32H US). Paid too much, will do online bra shopping from now on. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

This is a beautiful bra, but I don't think it was quite deep enough in the cup for me, and I had some strange baggy fabric at the very top of the cup due to the oddly triangular strap attachment. It's too big for me in the band and rides up quite a bit over the course ... of the day, unfortunately. But I love the look of it and the shoulder straps are nice and wide. The underwires could be narrower in the center - my biggest discomfort is that my breast tissue is closer together higher up in the center, and this bra's gore really cuts into that. I get some uncomfortable red marks from irritation on my breast tissue after an hour or two of wearing this one.

The fit on this one is way off for my boob shape. I get both quadboobing and baggy fabric at the top, as there's a strangely tight band of lace right at the top edge; the wire doesn't sit anywhere close to my inframammary fold; the band rides up (though not as much as some bras, due to the three-hook column); and worst of all, the wire is just way way waaaay too wide for my root. It seems like it's about as wide as some Curvy Kate bras.

A beautiful bra, but definitely not for my boobs.
