Didn't fit

I tried the Lily in 28DD and found that while it wasn't a bad fit, it cut in slightly on my larger boob, so I decided to try the 28E for comparison (this is my usual size, or so I'm coming to realize!). The Lily seems a difficult bra to fit perfectly, because it's constructed in quite an odd way at the top of the cups - it's as if there's a little pocket just under the edge of the cups and you need to have projection just in that area to fill it properly. The material is also different just under the stripe at the top and has a tendency to wrinkle.

Despite this I found both this size and the 28DD to be decent though not perfect fits. The 28E fits well on my larger breast while the material wrinkles a bit at the top on my smaller breast, though this isn't visible under clothing. The bra gives a very nice uplifted shape under clothing, and I preferred it in this respect to the Marcie. As with the Marcie, the wires in this bra are too wide for me, but I found this to be less problematic in the Lily - perhaps because the wires seem to have more of a U shape compared to the 'Nike swoosh' shape of the Marcie. Overall I like the Lily quite a lot and especially the rounded and uplifted shape it gives under clothing.

I also got the matching undies in size 10. They're OK but fit pretty small, and on me are quite unflattering as they cut in a bit. I got these at a big discount so I don't mind too much that they're not a great fit, but I probably wouldn't bother buying them at full price.
