I got this bra from another user knowing the band would be too tight and having no idea about the cup fit - but to my surprise, it fits!

The band is stretched out due to being pre-loved: according to all the measurements on Bratabase, a 65 EM band is shorter than my ribcage even at full stretch. I'm not sure, if I was to order/buy another EM bra, whether I'd buy a 65 or a 70. I'm currently wearing the bra on the second row (of 4 rows) of hooks, and the band still feels firm and snug and supportive, so it clearly has a lot of life left in it.

The cups are pretty much a perfect volume for me. The wires are extremely firm, barely bending when the band is stretched. Looking at the red marks they leave, I think they're too narrow by a couple of mm for me - but they're not uncomfortable at all, never a single moment's pinching or rubbing or chafing. The wire height is a little short for my preference, but they're tall enough to hold everything in place so that's just a minor aesthetic quibble, really.

The gore is PERFECT. I have extremely close-set breasts, and any gore high enough to hold in my centre-heavy soft tissue inevitably ends up sitting on boob and buckling. The gore on this bra is low enough to keep out of my cleavage's way, and the moulded cups are strong enough to stop me spilling too badly.

I've marked the straps as a fit, but I did get a feeling of them being on the edge of slipping off; they never actually did, however.

I'm sure the fact it's pre-loved has a lot to do with this, but this is the most comfortable bra I've worn since finding my true size. I totally forgot I was wearing a bra! All this with a lovely, lifted, round shape that doesn't sacrifice forward projection as the price of a half cup ... !

This bra is not owned any more
