Ordered what Ewa's calculator suggested, as it was close to what I think I am (ugh weight gain). When I picked it up at the post office I gnawed through the tape before even getting back to the car. It's beautiful, but I was a little underwhelmed at first by the construction. I guess I'm spoiled with all the sales I find on my size but I felt this wasn't quite worth the price except for its looks.
Appearance/construction: The bra is lined with a thin foam, which I do not consider padding but I can see how others might. Also, the foam is white. Id ... much prefer it to be dyed to match the exterior. The non-adjustable section of the straps is covered in tulle, and itchy on my sensitive skin, but I think it'll soften with wear. The embroidered overlay stands out at the bottom of the cup. As a seamstress I can tell you this was completely avoidable during construction if another two minutes had been taken it drape it properly. However, a few hand stitches and it'll be fixed well enough.
Fit: amazeballs. The first time I tried it on I wasn't sure. Probably because I was slightly disappointed by the construction issues. The second time, I loved it. Firm band. Round, lifted cups. Straps not in my armpits. And no quadboob. I laid the bra ontop of my 34H - Cleo » Juna (6461) and the wires are noticeable narrower, and I love it. I haven't actually worn it anywhere but around the house yet, but I think it's going to be wonderful.
