Sizing: I normally wear a 30G UK, erring on the side of a 28GG in stretchy brands, with a rib cage that measures 30-30.5 inches depending on which way the wind is blowing and a BTT measurement around 29.5-30 inches.
I went with a 32H(the size recommended to me by aforementioned other user), and was told this brand runs small in the band.
The Passion does NOT run small in the band. It runs very true to size in the band, and out of the box I definitely need the tightest set of hooks. Even that is a little looser than I'm strictly happy with, but it doesn't move.
The cup is a size or so small for me so I would need a 30(65)I or maybe even J. It looks like Rosme doesn't go down past a 32 band though, so apparently this experiment is a failure for the 30 and under crowd. However, if you do fit in it's size range, it may well be worth a try.
Looks: It's actually much prettier in person. My monitor made this bra look white when I ordered it, but it's actually a very light gray, with a pretty light purple trim that strays a little closer to fuscia than lavender.
Fit:
Stretchy, comfortable material that will give for most breast shapes, but because of that the bra has a minimizing effect on projected breasts. It's not uncomfortable, but does make the girls look smaller, so a good bra for days you want your bust to be a little understated.
Not ideal for FoT shapes, since it has that elastic under the top edge of the lace that EU brands seem to be so fond of. Would definitely cut into my boobs (a chronic problem) even if I sized up in the cup. Potentially a good bra for FoB breasts, maybe even breasts if you're not particularly soft (soft breasts may experience the cutting issue from the elastic), and I expect may be a very good bra for short roots.
The stretchy material will squash down projected breasts a bit (though it will acomodate them, that's the minimizing effect), but will probably work very well for shallow shapes for the same reason.
Wires are comfortably narrow - not as narrow as the polish brands, more on the narrow side of average. I think they're somewhat similar to Freya Arabella. Wires are a good height - neither too tall, nor too short.
Center gore is low, but not a plunge.
The material is soft and feels good against the skin.

On amazon and ebay, this bra is listed in US sizing, be aware of that if you order. I ordered a 32H, thinking I was ordering a UK size, and ended up with a UK 32G - clearly did not read carefully enough. That means I'm sized out of that brand, but if you're in its size range, it might be a nice addition.

This bra is not owned any more
