My shape (as far as I have figured it out): average root width, tall roots, even fullness, projected, very soft breasts.

I bought this bra about a year ago, when I thought I had shallow, wide-rooted breasts. (And it was this bra that helped me figure out that I am not!) While pretty and practical, this one is a shape mismatch for me - it is much too shallow. My breasts push the cups down and then fold into them. I also quad from the top - after a proper swoop and scoop, my nipples sit *just* above the cups. Which looks hilarious, but obviously means this one is ... not wearable.

The band is giving. If you prefer a firmer band I wouldn't recommend this one. Other than that, it is a well-made and comfortable bra. If the shape suited me I am quite sure I would wear it all the time!

NB. For the cup height measurement I measured the centre inner seam from the wire to the top of the lining. The lace overlay seems, to me, to more aesthetic than a functional part of the cup, so I did not include it in my measurement.

Too big in the band. Cups are good though, excellent for shallow breasts,

Great bra for the shallow breasted brethren. Did fit beautifully, but unfortunately, I have gained a little weight in the past year (also may be experiencing tissue migration if that is a thing, or maybe I just want to tell myself it is).

Strangely, I tried another Lepel bra (the bouquet in 30E) and the band seemed to have less stretch. The Fiore Balconette seems to have quite a bit of give in the band, so if you're worried about it being a band size too tight, that shouldn't be a concern.

Otherwise, seems true a size and good for those with shallow breasts with a wide root. Can look a little strange under a t-shirt, though due to ornamental details.
