I ordered this bra in a 30F and a 30E when I was very first trying to figure out my 'real' size. I returned both, as they were both ridiculously small. Fast forward a few months, and I ordered the SAME BRA in the SAME SIZE on one of those one-day-deal websites. Sigh! I totally forgot about my previous encounter with the bra!
For whatever reason, the Emily is SO, SO small in the cups. I feel like I would have to go up at least one cup size, if not more, and even then it may not fit. It was a combination of way too small cups and ... a weird shape. I can't even describe the shape this bra gives me. The seams are different than the typical seamed balconette, as there is a seam that basically runs parallel to the underwire on the side. This seam cuts into my tissue very badly, leaving a weird bubble boob effect on the side(this is why sizing up may not have worked out for me). The top of the cup cuts in as well, but simply because there is no where else for boob to go, not because the lace is particularly tight. What boob remains in the cup is really pointy, although this is probably just because it is not a good fit.
Fit aside, this bra is SO, SO, SO soft. I would sleep in the cups if I could! It is not itchy at all, it's silky and smooth. For a nude bra, it's quite pretty. It has delicate lace which just adds a little subtle something to an an otherwise boring color.
