Sonia epitomizes sophisticated & sexy; she's a very grown-up girl with shrimp-pink satin overlaid with dove gray lace, taupe straps, and a scallop of salmon lace along the top of the cups. Gorgeous! I asked for the straps to be moved in 2 cm, which they are, and its nice to have them out of the way of my underarms. The 3-part cup actually has enough immediate projection for me - something that no Comexim plunge cut, even sized up, has been able to deliver yet. It is very soft and comfortable. But the band is crazy snug and it is not very stretchy, I'm wearing it with an extender on the last hooks. (Only stretches to 76cm/30" before distorting the wires! I read that here, so I went up a band size (sacrificing some cup narrowness), and IMHO 30" is pretty tight for a 34" back). Worth it though because Sonia is divine! EDIT: I washed her a few times and wore her a bunch and the band has relaxed to 80cm on the last hooks. Still pretty snug for the band size, but lesson learned!

• I'm thrilled to read this about the immediate projection!! And, I had planned to order a 60 because I heard Sonia was super stretchy; no need now ;-)

• Wow, thats really odd that the half cup is so different than the plunge. Your 75 half cup band is smaller than my 70 plunge band both stretched and unstretched! I almost wonder if its some sort of fluke

  kermitdafrog21 I got a Joy 70 and an Arabella 70 in the same order. Both are half cups, a 3-part & a 2-part (2 seam 1 seam). The Joy stretches to 83cm and the Arabella to 85cm. I just double-checked, and I can just pull Sonia out to 76cm,but it pulls the soft wires. Most of my 70's/32's go there, plunges and half cups (except Masquerade). So perhaps it is a fluke? Could it be the lace overlay; its not stretch lace? I guess the more folks get one and put in measurements, we'll see!

  The Comexim bands with wrap around lace are short! I order Geisha and Arizona in a 65 to fit my 28" under bust. However, 29" for a 34" is super short ;-)

• My Sonia is a 75 band as well and I think it stretches to about 31" I'm between a 30/32 band and it does fit best on the tighter hooks, but it isn't too bad on the loosest hooks either.

  My Sonia halfcup in a 65 band have the same measurements as your 75, maybe they made a mistake
