I bought this from ASOS after reading reviews that the cups ran small/shallow; I'm normally a 30FF.
The cups are very shallow, so even on my relatively shallow boobs I do get quadboob at the top. The wires are super wide, so wide it was comical how far around my body they wrapped (even my boyfriend noticed!). This issue was exacerbated by the fact that the band felt pretty tight on me and the wires were definitely distorting. The straps are placed too far apart as well, and the gore's too tall for me, so overall the bra wouldn't have been comfortable to wear. It does have three ... hook and eyes in the back in this size which I'm okay with and I'm sure other people would very much appreciate. The cups are lined with a comfy, soft material and are only lightly padded.
Despite all my fit issues I do love the shape and overall look of the bra! It's a lovely, understated style in a great colour (I don't like black bras, so this French Navy is perfect for a darker toned, less boring bra). The shape is rounded with little projection, which I personally love. Makes it look like my boobs are much smaller than they technically are!
I reordered this bra in a 30FF in both Seafoam/Navy and French Navy and those fit much better/are more comfortable. I wear them all the time. They give more quadboob but it's not usually too visible.
I'd recommend it to anyone who has wide, shallow breasts and probably broad shoulders too or the widely placed straps will be an issue!
