***ALTERED to fit like 70FF***
I wanted to make sure I put that on the review first! The first EM bra I tried was a 65FF. The fit was perfect! So perfect in fact that I couldn't use the inserts as that would have caused me to feel like I was falling out. Also, since the unstretched measurement was so much smaller than my underbust I thought maybe a 70 would do just as well and not put as much tension on the band so it would still be firm enough yet not ride up. After looking at several bra measurements and cup depths I thought a 70FF would work. When I saw this 70G pop up for sale I went ahead and got it with the intention of testing my hypothesis by altering it to the cup depth I was seeing on the 70FFs. So you will notice that the depth measurement I have listed for this one is 9.6 (which is smaller than a normal 70G). I have a picture showing how this alteration was done. (Just connecting cup to center gore along the inside of each cup.) You can see the tape measure showing the altered cup depth, or at least an approximation of it. I wish I could remember the blog I saw this alteration on but I can't find it now. The alteration doesn't change how the bra feels when wearing it. (I have since also acquired a 70FF which does fit as I expected so when I placed my first actual order from @ Ewa Michalak that is the size I ordered.) And as I mentioned prior with the unstretched bands of the 70's being 60-64cm (23.5-25in) that still provides me with enough tension for my 28in underbust to hold the bra in place and hopefully not fatigue my bands as quickly so they will last longer. All in all it was well worth it to confirm my size with this brand and to get a lovely bra in a style they aren't currently offering in the size I need.
