I previously tried this bra in a 30G sample size, and thought I needed to go up a cup size. I also wanted to try a bigger band size for comfort. The verdict?

First, the 30 was fine; the 32 fastens comfortably on the tightest hook. Second, the cup upgrade... while it should be fine by the measurements, doesn't seem to be quite enough for my tissue. This might also be a shape problem. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> But it sort of looks like going up a size (and no longer squeezing my tissue into a round ball) made the need for a bigger size even ... more apparent -- I have photos now showcasing quadding, and also the side sling is cutting in in a funny way that I think would be resolved in a larger cup size.

I still love everything about this bra's appearance and materials, as well as the company's business model (made entirely in the UK). The lace is so gorgeous, and the sling is silk, and it feels like a much more luxurious bra than others I've tried in higher price points. (The Sophia is currently ~90GBP.)

A word of caution for BTB users who need longer straps: the straps on this bra are only about half adjustable. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I wear most of my bras with the straps almost completely loose, and this feels a little tight on my shoulders in that condition, so take that for what it's worth.
