I got this for my mother, she likes it a lot better than her 36As. It would fit even better if it were half a cup size bigger.
Edit: Here are her measurements (in inches)— Snug Underbust: 29 Tight Underbust: 27 Standing Bust: 31.5 Leaning Bust: 33 Lying Bust: 32
The ABraThatFits Bra Size Calculator puts her in a 30D bra, but she sister sizes into a 32C because she doesn't like her bands that tight.
Overall this bra is a pretty good fit for her; she gets a bit of a line at the top of the cup, but I think it might be a shape mismatch. She might need a slightly larger cup volume, but she doesn't need to go up a full cup size. It is currently her best fitting bra, but I'm trying to get her to buy some that fit better. Also, some of her old ones would actually fit reasonably well if she took the bands in.
This bra apparently runs tight in the band because having finally measured it I'd guesstimate it as fitting closer to a 30D. As a ignorant 28DD purchasing a 32C this worked well, but now that I know to tighten the hooks the band seems almost too stiff. It rides up in the back no matter which hooks I place it on, but when I have it on the middle or tightest hooks the riding up digs the underwire downward into my chest, especially when sitting.
Sometimes I feel like my boobs are popping out of the top and am worried about my nipples showing, but I think this only happens when I'm about to be on my period or am on my period (when my boobs are slightly bigger than usual). Otherwise it fits nice, gives a nice lift, etc. The center part of the bra doesn't sit flat on my sternum though. The pads are removable which is nice, and the cups overall have a very nice structure to them. The detailing is nice, just a little too dramatic for my taste, and the bow in the front is gigantic. Also, sometimes the boning pokes me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I am a 28DD and I tried to convert to a correct bra size with a bigger band size for a looser fit but this just did not work. The material is nice but it does not give me support. The band under my armpit is starting to wrinkle up and sometimes the bra rises up on the back. The cup does not cover my breast completely at all, only halfway. I'm struggling to find a bra with my petite frame but I guess I have to pay more for a better fit than to pay for something that is cheap but not going to fit comfortably. I'd rather be comfortable.
