This band runs very tight, so this 32 fits like a 30. The cup runs about 1 or 2 sizes small. I wear a 30H, and in a perfect world I'd wear this in a 32HH.
This world is not perfect, however: This bra has the worst scaling I have ever encountered in my life. It's like the bra has a great concept and abysmal execution in this size. The gore is awesomely low, which makes for a bra that's really, really flattering from the front. However, I kept thinking it was boning poking my back, but no, it's the underwire. Because the underwire is literally in my back, ... ladies and gentlemen. I do have narrow roots but... come on. Someone who is a 30 back is generally not going to need a cup width of 7.5", if the majority of that wire isn't ending up at the gore area. (Which I am very glad it did not!! This bra has made me into a low gore proponent. It looks and feels very good.)
This wire issue made for a bra that was terrifyingly close to being dangerously uncomfortable. It's a testament to the materials that the bra didn't stab me to death within minutes, even though the wire is really scarily positioned. Due in part to the cup width weirdness, there was no way my full-on-bottom boobs were going to make it into the bottom of the cup, which is very shallow at the wire.
The bra is a plunge. It's more secure than even a reduced Comexim plunge was on me, which is very notable. It's the most flattering plunge I've ever put on. This fabric is killer, a very dark brown with a subtle bronze metallic shine. It's too dark for me to use as a nude, but I love it to death. It reminds me of swatches of KoyVoca Cream to Powder Foundation in Sydney, maybe even one shade darker. They have double-layered fabric to make the cups, which are not sheer, but feel like my sheer bras. The fabric sheerness is consistent throughout the cup, not double-layered on the bottom and single layered on the top like a lot of bras in this size range. This means no areola showthrough, even with an unlined bra.
The shape this bra gives is rounded, but natural.
