I bought this in Candy Pink in a 32E (also have a 30F - Cleo » Maddie Moulded Balconette T-shirt Bra (7201) in nude that I must use an extender with. Compared to the 30F (which is a bit too wide at the straps just under the underarms, this 32E is perfect. I can swoop and scoop, and pull in the underarm fat/bulges perfectly fine without it digging into the tendons of my underarms.

This bra seems to work well for my close-set, FoB, shallow, wide-root breasts. Although I tend towards balconette style bras, sometimes the gore's can be too wide and/or high, as I essentially have less than an inch between breasts. This gore sits low and close enough that this is not a problem--the gore tacks perfectly, is low/close enough to not rub or sit on the breast tissue while also not being too low (like a plunge) to keep the breast tissue from spilling out of the cups towards the middle. The underwires a a good length, too, perfectly encapsulating my outer breast tissue.

The color is a deep, bright pink, and looks really nice for what is otherwise a rather basic, plain bra. The moulded cups can feel a bit stiff and unwieldy, but this isn't really a problem since I'm used to such cups. It isn't really padded, per se, just enough from the moulded aspect of the cups. Perhaps due to the stiffness of the moulded cups, I do have a bit of gapping at the top towards the straps (I can pinch about a 1/4" of excess fabric), but I believe this is more likely just a result of my breasts just sloping so much, and that sizing down in the cups would be overkill.

This bra is pretty comfortable--instantly more comfortable than the 30F due being slight less wide under the arms/strap area, and I haven't experienced very much poking of underwires or rubbing.

Overall, a very comfortable, nearly seamless (the trim along the top shows a bit under clingier fabrics) t-shirt bra.

[ETA: even though the fit info says it doesn't fit me, I would venture to say it's probably the closest fit I can manage in this particular bra.]
