Size 40e has the right amount of volume for my 40e/f size and is very comfortable, no poking or rubbing. Tall sides are great.
Not enough side support in the cup itself even with the sling.
Center gore too wide for my close-set breasts. Being a bandless bra, I expect it to lay flat but it rolls forward (away from my ribs) upon further wearings.

I love a lot of things about this bra. It is made from gorgeous fabrics and has great hardware. The blue is deep and silky. It fit well when I was wearing a 38e. It has nice narrow and low cups which I have a hard time finding.
(I wore it when I was smaller, and so my fit comments are for a 40f wearing a 38e bra.)

The wire seems doubly enclosed that it might offer a comfy option for those with tender skin. No poking. Completely bandless for a high or pregnant tummy. Very modest with extra fat straps to avoid digging in. Nicely finished, quality construction and fabrics. Small amount of pilling inside straps and band. I'd name this bra The Workhorse: it is sturdy (has not stretched) full coverage, maximum comfort and gets the job done. Nothing pretty, including the color. No chance of turning any heads.

Cup is wide and set far out, causing my breasts to hang out toward my arms, while not enclosing my inner breast tissue. The gore is too wide, pushing my breasts apart. the straps are set too wide apart. All of these combined, create a side-to-side shape that is nowhere near my shape. The gore is set close on top, but is purely channel, the wires themselves begin 2cm down. The band seems very stretchy. The mauve is pretty (matching undies available including plus sizes). The price is right, @QT intimates are affordable in general.

Issues: a little pilling, warping in the padded fabric. There is a floating layer of stretch poly, so the warping does not show. The microfiber cup lining makes it super comfortable, but not good for hot weather. Wires did not break through wire channel. The bra did not stretch out. The various fabrics are high quality. Side wings are strong and supportive. What makes this bra special, is that it's feminine but with cute tailored details.

The things I like: the all over mesh is very stiff which gives great support. It is pretty and playful and comes in good colors.
I don't like the fact that the bandless bra rolls up and I have the same issue with 40E - Elomi » Asia (3913)
I need more cup volume, but not a wider cup, so I likely won't try on a larger size.
Herroom recomends Elomi Madison Plunge Bra (8730) for a similar fit.
Likely not a good pick for sensitive skin.

Comfy right away, lined wires, pretty contrasting lace. Straps are set too far apart for me, cutting into my arm pits. Cups are a little too full in bottom. The piece of wing up to the non-boned side support is firm, non-stretchy fabric. The remainder of the wing and band is stretchy mesh. Tall, narrow gore nice for close set breasts and sits nice and flat. If your nipples do not sit too high, the bra gives good modesty coverage while being very sexy too.
