I ordered this in red in 30DDD/F from Asos, but they shipped me a 30DD/E. The underwire doesn't go far enough on the sides to capture all my side tissue. There is a little bulging above the sides of the bra, but, more importantly, the underwire sits on breast tissue.
The straps are only partially adjustable. The front of the straps is 7" long and has red applique. I shortened the back of the straps as short as they would go, down to 4.3125" (4 - 5/16"). If I could shorten the straps more, I might be able to get rid of the gaping at the top of the ... cups. The bra would still not be fully encasing my breasts, though. The cups are much more rigid than those of my Fantasie Rebecca. Now I understand why spacer foam is so much better for getting a good fit than traditional molded bras.
This is a beautiful bra, with a bright red base and embroidered mesh overlay with pink and white embroidery accents. I will try to capture the harmonious and outrageously gorgeous colors in my photos.
I have a blue Fauve Emmanuelle padded half cup in 30F. That bra fits perfectly. I doubt the Evangeline Moulded Plunge would fit well in a 30F. My only question about Fauve now is whether their balcony bras would work on me.
Edited to add on Feb 3, 2013: I measured the wire width and other features using the inner edge of the underwire. I recently learned this may be more correct than measuring the outer edge, which I'd been doing with previous bras I submitted. If I get a definite answer to this question, I will edit my reviews accordingly for the bras I still have.
