Thanks to Beckym82, I now own my first EM bra!! Logically, I know it is too small for me (I can barely close the band but it is perfect with an extender and it will stretch, right?) and I definitely should go up at least one if not two cup sizes. But I don't want to give it up because even too small, it makes my boobs look AMAZING! I'd almost given up on finding a "perfect fit" bra but this addresses everything I'd been struggling with, fit-wise.
It has narrow wires but deep cups, not too wide of a center gore and hallelujah, it fits and even lifts ... my extremely high set but not necessarily perky breasts (as in my true underbust or breast root starts at the bottom of my armpit...see this post by http://www.bralessinbrasil.com/2012/07/torso-length-height-underarm-fit-and.html for a better explanation). I don't have to shorten the straps to high heaven & have them digging into my armpits in an attempt to get some lift. The underwires don't jab or wrap around to my back. The fabric doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. (I'm looking at you, Curvy Kate Princess!) My not so firm tissue stays in place.
In short (or long, at this point), it ticks all the boxes for what I thought was my impossible to fit chest.

This is too small in the cups for me, by at least two cups. The band is stretchier than I'd prefer, but I like really tight bands.
I love the wires and how firm they are. No distortion here! The ribbon really does brighten the bra. It isn't itchy (I have annoyingly sensitive princess boob skin), and the 65G version gives me nice cleavage while holding me in. My only complaint is that the straps are awkward to adjust because the slider fits very tightly against the strap. With a little work, I could get it to slide past the ribbon part of the strap, but luckily do not ... need to yet.
My review of the 65G (which is closer to being my cup size than the FF): Comfortable everywhere, though I am still a little big and the band is a little loose, so that I have to readjust several times a day. But I only adjust because I feel slightly awkward, not because anything is poking. It gives a nice shape, holding me in more closely than the CH styles. It's not as much cleavage as a Deco, thankfully. I'm more jiggly in this than I am in my 28G Deco, not sure why. The cups are thin foam, thinner and more malleable than the Deco's cups. The foam isn't covered on the outside with anything, so it feels a little strange to the touch. The ribbons show through thin fabric as little bumps, so it's not a t-shirt smoothing bra. It is, however, a very nice bra, and I am keeping my 65G.

I got this bra when I was on a mission to collect the old HPs.
It measures and fits more like a 65F, so the band is nice and snug. Unfortunately, the cups are just a bit too big for me.This bra is not owned any more

First of all, when I received this bra it was used, and some of the hooks were being pulled out and were quite loose. A quick sewing job fixed that up, but that means that I've never worn the bra without an extender, but with an extender the band feels like a true 32, so it probably runs a little small. You may want to size up.
This bra is everything I'm looking for in a bra . . . except it's too big in the cups. The little accents of flowery ribbon is adorable, the wires are narrow, the cups are deep and the wings don't stab me ... under my arms. But there is a lot of gaping at the top of the cups, and I think I may have overestimated my size (for the record, I find myself spilling out of too-tight 32Gs and am on the hunt to find a more comfortable fit. This was one attempt).
**Update:
After adjusting the straps to a more comfortable length and ditching the extender, I can verify that this bra, while gaping a little, is certainly wearable and the gaping is not that significant (or not significant enough to justify sizing down). The band is tight, yes, and fits more like a loose 30 than a 32. But overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of this brahttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

I really love the way this bra fits. It comes up higher than the ch so I feel contained yet it still provides good cleavage. Unfortunately the band is too large for me and the cups too small. It has a gorgeous flower ribbon detail. It also looks good under shirts. It gives a nice rounded profile.

I really think this bra is gorgeous. It's everything that I want in a bra, except that it's about a cup size too big.

I absolutely love the HP Nina. I feel like the cups for this bra are a bit higher cut than other bras in the HP style. For this reason, I feel perfectly secure in this bra.
This size is a tiny bit large for me in the band though. I have to wear it on the tightest hook from the beginning, but I just love how perfectly the cups fit for me and how comfortable it is. I wore this one all day at work and never once felt the need to readjust! I also love the perfect round shape I get in this bra.
I think I might ... just fill my bra wardrobe with HP Ninas! I found that the other HP bras I tried in the same size offered a bit less coverage which made me feel a bit more jiggly at the top. I might just need to go up a cup size in the other ones though.
-ETA- I guess after finding my proper size I am experiencing a bit of migration, so this bra no longer fits.

I do love this bra and I was stupid enough to keep it, even when I knew it didn't fit. I'm supposed to have a 36G somewhere in the apartment which I cannot find and it bugs me terribly.
Cups in this one are a little tricky to see for me. The biggest part of the bra does seem to be where the strap is connected in the front. The cup is bigger on top than bottom, it doesn't have immediate cup depth on bottom but if you're semi firm like me it might be you run towards the middle of the cups. This can also occur because the strap position is to the front of the body.
The straps are not fully adjustable but it's easy to force adjust them anyway, they are just thicker higher up.
The band is rather stretchy.This bra is not owned any more
