The band runs tight and probably will need an extender at first. The cups push everything out to the sides, so from the top, they look squashed in center and not round at all. Cup height is too tall for me as well, even though width is good. Not enough initial projection. Stitching and embroidery looks cheap. Final sale, so I'm stuck with it. I might end up frankening it.
This bra is very pretty. It is not very supportive, though, as the straps are on the thin side and it does not fully encapsulate the breast because it is more of a balconette, I believe. So, when I walk briskly I can feel my boobs bouncing, which I do not find with more sturdy bras. I have a feeling the lace in this will wear out faster than I'd like, but it seems alright so far.
The band is super stretchy so I sized down from a 38DD because I was using the tightest hook within 2 months. The lace can be a bit itchy at first, but softens up with wear and gentle washing. It's sturdy, pretty, and I feel like I'm not wearing a bra when I wear it.
By all appearances this bra fits well, however, it is just not as comfortable as my Panache (Cleo) bras. I don't like having three rows of fasteners in the back, the sides of the bra are a double layer of fabric which somehow feels wrong, and I have problems with bras that have a full band or anything hanging below the wire (causes pain by the end of the day because I have an intercoastal-rib-nerve on one side that cannot tolerate having anything on it for any length of time). The bra is excellent quality--good materials and workmanship, but it just isn't my favorite.

Felina is beautiful, I just wish they made sizes bigger than DDD. 36 is too big... but as the DDD fits, I'll wear it. Love their bras. PLEASE make larger sizes!! It's cute, sexy but the cup sizes are too small. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Do you happen to have the measurements for this bra? :)
Thanks!
