I heard this bra ran large in the band, so I ordered it in a 65H instead of the 70GG I’d normally go for. After trying it on, I’d say it runs extremely large! I can fasten it on the tightest hooks straight away and it would go a lot further if there were any hooks left...

The cup is weird on me. I’m almost spilling out of it at the top, but then I can’t quite fill it at the armpit side, and there’s also some gaping in the middle on my smaller breast (much more than it looks on the picture). The centre gore is far from ... sitting against the sternum – on the contrary it’s digging into my boobs.

The shape is fairly nice, and it looks okay from the front and the side. And for a nude bra, it isn’t as granny-looking as it could be, which definitely is a plus.

Edit: I requested fitting help and got a tip from Vee to bend the wires inwards, so that the gore would sit flat against my chest. That solved most of the problems! Obviously, the gore now lays flat, and there's no gaping in the middle, nor is there any spilling. The uplift and support is now very, very good!

The band will most probably be too large in the near future, but then I'll just have to narrow it. Now, as new, it's still snug enough. The wrinkling in the armpits is also still there, but I can live with that.

I changed comfort from Meh to Good.

Edit2: Even though the straps are fully adjustable, the embroidery on the straps is very uncomfortable against the shoulders, so I needed to shorten the straps to get just the flat side against my shoulders. I also altered the band to stay a bit more snugger. But now, after this fair amount of tweaking (band, straps, gore), this bra is one of the most comfortable ones I've ever owned, so I guess it was worth the trouble! Changed comfort to excellent.
