The Cleo Hettie in 34GG is the closest I've found yet to a bra that fits, but it's not quite perfect for me.

The band is perfectly snug on the loosest hooks (only 2 x 3 rows, but felt fine).

The straps are long enough for me (but I'm pretty short at 5'4 so check the photo of the back to see how much adjustment you may get). However the straps are set too wide for me (as always with my 11.5" frame width) and they cut into my TOS/tissue too much unless I'm only standing with my shoulders back and not moving at all. I could see about getting them moved in; I think I'd want to also reduce the height of the side panels. (Correction: it's not really the side height that's an issue Upon closer look it's only where the strap meets the wing that digs in.)

The gore tacks great! It's significantly taller than what I'm used to (been wearing plunges) so that would take some getting used to.

The cups are ACTUALLY NARROW enough for me. (A first after trying about 12 "narrow" bras!)

The cup tops fit my larger breast pretty well (but over a few minutes it did start to show a bit of gaping) and there is space at the top of the smaller breast (enough that I'd need a cookie). The cup bottoms both have some wrinkling. (Still trying to determine if that's a wire projection deficiency or some other shape/size issue; I do have mild ptosis and I'm trying Polish bras next.) I don't think I can get alterations to deal with the wire gap and I'm concerned that over time it would press into my rib flares, so I think it's not a close enough fit to keep.

The seams and upper gap do show a bit under a shirt, but I'd still wear it.

Overall I'm really impressed, it's just not my unicorn.
