I have a better idea of what shape my breasts are now. I've been told they're set close together, so this bra digs into my sternum and the edges of my root. I fill out the bottom of the cup, my breasts are slightly pointy, so I can't completely fill the depth of the cup and there a gap along the top, even when I scoop and swoop.

This is the first bra I've tried in out-of-matrix sizing. I've used a few reputable bra size calculators and they seem to think I'm a 28E/30DD. Well, I can say that the construction and detailing on the bra is very pretty, but does not fit. I fill out the bottom nicely, but there's major wrinkling near the straps, lots of gaping at the top of the cup.

This bra is very soft and pretty comfortable to wear. The band does stretch out, so I'm on the second hook after 4 months of use, but I think the band is too big for me anyway. I fill the bra nicely, except for a little gapping along the top of the cup. There is the smallest gap between my breasts and the wires that meet at the center gore.

The cup of the bra stays pretty wide up until the very start of the straps. As a result, the cups dig into my armpit and causes some discomfort. I like that the wires reach wider since I have a wide breast root. The inside of the cups are soft, but the lace is not. The straps are kind of weird - they widen to 0.5 in around the shoulders, but then become narrower at the start of the cup and toward the band. So, I can't adjust the straps to be shorter because if this random widening.

The band fits well - I can now confirm that I fit best in a 28. For reference, I have wide, tall, and shallow root, breasts are close set, and full on bottom. I was able to fill out the bottom of the cup with scooping and swooping.
The top, however, is a different story.I'm beginning to piece together the shape of my breasts, and I can observe that I have very little top volume, so balconettes with a more open cup edge do not lay against my skin, If I made a seam between the strap and the wing of the bra, into the cup, the bra would fit. The center gore was also a little too high on my sternum.
