I love the print on this set so much that I bought it not having any idea what size I really was. This was my very first purchase coming from a decade of Cacique's 38DDD Smooth Balconette (a great bra, but it probably was never an actual fit). I had no experience with UK sizing and no concept of a cup size above DDD (even though I was probably a 34J at the time).
So the review that follows has nothing to do with "true to size" because I was in no position to judge that. If I had to guess, I'd say it was true ... to size because I promptly had the band altered be because it was waaayy too big. Then I put darts in the cups in an attempt to bring the cups in because the band was still too big. It made it wearable but I've since purchased a replacement in a more appropriate size.
The fabric is lovely, the style is adorable, it's fully lined, the cups are 2-part with vertical seams, quality is excellent and it's very comfy.
The gore is low, but it's not so plunge-y that the girls would fall out (if it fit). The straps are fully adjustable. The wires & wings aren't too high, but there are plastic stays stitched in for extra support on the wings.
The briefs are equally fab with reasonable coverage front & back.
Every girl should have one.
