Me: very soft breasts, empty
I took the warning on Ewa's website to heart regarding the band tightness and decided to get a 70. That was a good decision - the 70 band is very firm (only stretches out to 27.5" with quite a bit of tension). I would even go up another band size to a 75.
The bad decision came when I was choosing my cup size. I remeasured my leaning bust and was not particularly careful with it (Why? I don't know.) so I ended up with a new measurement that was 3 cm smaller than I had measured previously. ... I also ignored Ewa's advice on changing sizes and went solely by the measurements on the chart.
End result: cup is 1-2 sizes too small for me and can't really be reviewed on fit or shape. Whoops!
Anyway, as I said . . . the band is QUITE firm. I would order up one size (or even 2!) because otherwise, the shape of the cup becomes quite flattened when the band is pulled too tight.
I am sometimes a "more is more" kind of gal, and this bra really indulges that. The fabric is really unique - it has these sort of transparent, flat shiny dots on it. It has an oversized red bow. It has a cute loop detail on the straps. It has ribbon covered seams. It has lace AND ruffles. It has little red heart cut outs on the band and straps. And I sort of love the end result.
As an aside, the elastic is quite tight on the full briefs also (the thong is fine) so I would go up a size from your regular.

You do know that 2 inches of extra stretch is reasonable? In fact, if it ran loose, I'd say it's stretch to 34. You shouldn't not be able to stretch it away from your back.
