I'd say this bra runs about one size small in the cups and one or two sizes large in the band (it has a very stretchy band). I can't size down in the band, since it doesn't come in anything below a 28 band (would if I could), but it is wearable even as stretchy as it is. I've heard a lot about the showgirl bras (Tease Me, Thrill Me, Fleurty) being painful in the gore, but I think that might be more of a problem in the smaller cup sizes, since the gore comes up higher in the larger cup sizes and may bypass the sensitive, bony places on the sternum. For example, the gore on the 28F Tease Me is 2.5" high, while the gore on the 28G is just under 2.875" high. Personally, I find this bra to be very comfortable and I don't have a lot of padding on my ribcage. My biggest problem with this bra, which I otherwise like, is that the wide band of lace at the top of the cup (the one that the ribbon is laced through) can break up the roundness of the silhouette and give the appearance of a big, flat strip running across an otherwise round shape. It's possible, though, that this effect would diminish over time as the fabric relaxes.
