This was my best fitting bra prior to losing 75 pounds. However, I didn't know anything about bra fitting, and I suspect the band was too loose and cup too small even at the higher weight.

A year ago, the bra was comfortable, and didn't attract attention (meh!) under clothing. I did have problems with the bra straps loosening, but it still remained on my shoulders (I have a problem with the left shoulder strap on many bras). I suspect the straps loosening was due to the overly large band size.

Pros
Comfort
cute pattern

Cons
didn't fit well enough to improve appearance
top edge of cup rolled

Based on the self-measurements, I'll be ordering in the 32F range very soon, and plan on spending more $$ than I have in the past. I'm FoB, and have a fair amount of underarm flap (weightloss or migration?) so I think I'll probably need side panel support (don't like torpedoes though). In sewn bras, I'm looking at Panache Tango II (but I'm only 5'3 and short waisted) and Envy Balconette; Fantasie Helena Balconnette. T-shirt bras include Fantasie Smoothing Moulded Balcony Bra; Freya Deco Moulded Plunge Bra. Hopefully I'll upload the results, as I desperately need new bras, and haven't a clue what to expect when ordering online. The fitting advise from the users on this site will undoubtedly save me time and the cost of some future shipping returns.

So, no nipples, smooth seams, bra strap slippage, and natural shape have always been my priorities. In the past, I rarely wore low necked, thin, or tight fitting clothing. However, with my new smaller size, I might find myself branching out. I'm already wearing much tighter, more revealing styles, even though my chemise with shelf-bra is inadequate and the Olga doesn't even remotely do the job anymore.

• I ended up ordering the Panache Envy Balconette, and the Prima Donna Madison Balcony. The Madison is twice the price of the Envy, but it was the only other side Support balcony with stretch lace on the top of the cups I could find (and seems to have comparable measurements, but info on the Madison was spotty) . I've had a lot of issues in the past with top of cup wrinkle. Sigh, I'm a little worried I'll prefer the Madison for no reason other than I have champagne tastes. This order was so expensive due to sister sizing (five bras!), that I'm waiting to order the t-shirt bras I want to try.
