Update: Since gaining weight, this bra is now technically too small in the cups because the top couple inches of the gore are lifted (but at least the wire width is better now!). It is still one of my most comfortable bras.

This bra was a major splurge/risk, but thankfully it worked out. I'm kind of obsessed with how well it fits me and have had to stop myself over-wearing it. It's beautiful and creates a lovely shape. I can comfortably wear this bra for 12+ hours, which is a rare thing for me except among my other favorite, best-fitted bras (e.g., 28G - Cleo » ... Hettie Balconnet Bra (9011); 28G - Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) before it got too small :'); 28H - Katherine Hamilton » Abrielle). The cup sizing is a bit more generous than other KH bras I've tried with the mesh layer (e.g., the aforementioned Abrielle, Eden). I would normally never go for a bra with such full coverage or such a high gore (both aesthetically and physically usually not my thing), but it doesn't bother me here. I can see it becoming a little too big/tall, with a digging gore, if I lost any weight.

Minor issues (none of which cause any discomfort): The underwire is a tad too wide. Slightly floating gore at the top. The shoulder straps are set too wide (and I have *wide* shoulders). The seams/embroidery show through clothes more prominently than my other seamed bras, especially at the point where the three cup panels meet.
