I purchased this bra to see how it fit compared to a 28E that I bought which ended up being too small and had the typical Jude characteristics. This bra had a lot of extra room, mostly projection-wise and near the bottom of the cups. The cups also came up much higher on my chest, which was really uncomfortable. I felt really constricted in it. The cup width was also pretty wide. This bra in no way worked for me, so back it went.

I love this bra! When I first got it, I wasn't quite sure if I was going to keep it because it seemed too big for me (I didn't fill out the top completely). However, after wearing it and washing it a few times, it fits perfectly. I love the shape it gives me; I get a little bit of cleavage even though I'm shallow and relatively wide-set. I am planning on buying another one in a different color.
My measurements put me in between a 28DD and 28E but a 30DD would definitely be too big. The band on this bra feels perfectly tight on me.
I also tried the Parfait Casey plunge in 30D, but it did not work for me.

I ordered a second Jude in a different color (nude) because the first one I got fit so well.
However, this bra gives me quadboob. Comparing it to my other Jude, it looks to be about a full cup size smaller. How did that happen? They are both 28Es. The band on this one is even slightly smaller when fully stretched. The cup depth, width, and wire length are also smaller. I am very confused as to how this could be. I am going to try this same color in a 28F hoping that it'll be closer in size and shape to my original 28E Jude.

I received this bra in error, so it has been returned, but I tried it anyway. The band felt plenty tight on my 28" ribcage, but the cups were a bit too small. The bra gave me a nice shape, but there was some wrinkling in the bottoms of the cups. I think I would need a 30DD in this bra if I end up trying it again.

Even though my measurements put me at a 28E, this bra did not work for me. It gapped slightly on my bigger breast and gapped badly on my smaller one. The band is quite tight for a 30, but it fit me fine because I have a smaller underbust measurement. I am sad it doesn't work because the quality is great and it gave me a great shape (on the bigger side, at least).

This bra is quite loose in the band and slightly too small in the cups for me. I would probably fit better in a 30DD in this model as far as the cup goes. However, this isn't a "good" push-up bra in that the padding inside distorts the tissue. I wear it only when I want to feel a little extra oomph.

I also tried the Just Flew In longline, and like that, this bra didn't work for me. While the width was perfect and the depth seemed good, it was almost like the cups came up a bit too high for me (or I'm just not full enough on top). The cups on this bra actually seemed taller/maybe slightly deeper than those on the JFI. The band wasn't super tight; it was comfortably snug. I wouldn't recommend this bra for girls who are slightly projected to shallow with wide roots.

This bra works quite well with my relatively wide-set breasts, though it keeps them to the sides when I prefer a more front-and-center type of look. It does make them look nice and round, though, and the open top is much appreciated since I am more full on top. The band is also stretchy and not snug enough on my 27" ribcage, but the worst part is the rubbing where the cup meets the straps. It definitely takes me a while to get used to it. I didn't end up keeping this bra.

This bra isn't recommended because it fits very few people correctly, especially those of us with shallow breasts. I bought it on impulse just to see how bad the fit really was because it was quite inexpensive. I sized up from a 28DD to 28E per other reviews. I have to say, the fit is not as bad as I was expecting. The cups do not cut into my breast tissue and I seem to fill out most of the cup minus the very, very bottom. The wires are also about a half inch too wide, but it doesn't bother me. I am keeping this bra because it gives me a great shape and is comfortable!

I tried this bra when a 30D was too loose in the band and too small in the cup. This bra was very tight in the band, but the cups were just slightly too big for me. Also, the gore came up high and was uncomfortable. If nothing else had been wrong with it, I would have just bent the wires back. I ended up returning this bra and not ordering any more Junas.
