For reference, I am petite (5'1"), wide-set, with lots of tissue in the armpit area, and shallow.

The Gypsy 30D has removable inserts but the 30DD does not. I don't know why bra manufacturers have decided that if you wear a DD, you don't need removable inserts anymore. *eyeroll*

What I noticed about the 30DD (I own a 30D in another color) is that the wings come up much higher into my armpits. The wires are an ok length and there's no digging, but there's some extra fabric that gets itchy and uncomfortable if I wear this all day. If I were to guess, manufacturers of bras also assume that a larger bra size is worn by a taller person. It seems to be an ongoing theme with any of these "high apex" style plunges, regardless of the manufacturer.

Much to my dismay, my Gypsy 30D had removable inserts but the 30DD does not. Apparently I didn't get the memo that when you're a DD, you don't need removable inserts anymore. *eyeroll* The lack of padding in the 30DD makes me look a lot pointier than the 30D did.

The cup coverage and wire length on the 30DD is MUCH better than the 30D (no armpit spillage); this is an improvement. What I noticed about the 30DD (same for the other Gossard styles) is that the straps are much wider than the 30D. The straps are too wide for my shoulders and keep twisting. It seems like the manufacturers of bras seem to think that larger bra size equals more height. I'm 5'1" and did not have this issue with the 30D but it is an issue with the 30DD.
