Update 3: 36GG is my unicorn bra!!!!
Update 2: I believe this is actually somehow a band size and cup size too big. I will try it in 36GG, though it may not have quite enough projection at that size. Thankfully, the J-hook helps tremendously in keeping the wire in my IMF and pulling in the slightly too-wide side wires. I may also replace the underwires with narrower ones and take in the band some.
Update: It definitely does fit, but I haven't been able to get past the pain of wearing it all day. The material covering the bottom wires is so painful when it's not J-hooked, but it ... hurts my neck to wear it J-hooked all day. I tried it in 36HH and it was massive on me, so I guess 38GG/36H is my real fit.
Make sure to J-hook it!!!
I normally wear a 36J (UK), so I was stunned to fit into a 38GG. In truth, a 36HH would probably be perfection—the cup is just a little snug, and I'm wearing it on the tightest hook, but I plan to lose weight soon and I was pretty desperate for any bra that fit, so it's fine. And this bra looks **freaking amazing**!
The Matilda was definitely my favorite of the ones I tried (thought that was a fairly low bar) and I kept putting it back on, but I was concerned by the extra space between the strap and the armpits. And that's when the lady helping me said, "Oh, that's because it's meant to be J-hooked." And then she hooked it.
Oh. My. God.
Fireworks. Cartoon hearts beating out of chests. Choruses of baby angels holding baby kittens.
Needless to say, I immediately bought it. I have tried a lot of bras, and none of them have ever felt as comfortable nor looked as sexy as this one once it was J-hooked. I have to do a bit of tucking and might take in the gore a bit just because I'm so close-set, but even without that it's really, really good. Lots of projection, albeit not quite as immediate as I prefer, nice narrow-ish wires and a lot of depth. It's a lot more comfortable than most bras once it's J-hooked, because the weight gets distributed differently. It requires a little scooping and shifting, but I'm amazed. Even in a plain nude, it looks so sexy and stunning without being frilly. This bra was $73, twice as much as my second most-expensive bra ever, but it was worth every penny of it so far! I'm so relieved to have a bra, any bra, that fits. And have I mentioned this one looks sexy as heck?
