This is my first good fit in a bra so far, since I ditched the old 40C's a few weeks ago and started experimenting. The slightly stretchy lace lets it conform to my shape. The lightweight fabric allows for a bit of natural movement, which I like but which might be a problem to people who want absolutely no jiggling. The light yellow color is pretty. The band feels very firm but I expect that to loosen up with washing and wearing. The side panels give good support and centering. And it doesn't poke me under the arm, yay! But the gore is rather high and gets ... uncomfortable after an hour or so. The gore height measurement is deceptively small because of the no-band shape in the front. If you measure gore height along an imaginary line all the way down to where a band would be, level with the bottom of the cups, it would be more like 5 inches high instead of 4. The cups seem to run small (but see note below), at least in this colorway (Lemonade). I thought a 36F or FF should fit, because G's have been too big for me in Freya and Cleo, but I had to size up to a 36G to get big enough cups here. Overall it looks pretty good.
Edited to add I've realized that maybe the F/FF cup sizes weren't really too small so much as they're the wrong shape for me. There's empty fabric and wrinkling at the bottom of the cups where I don't fill them out. They felt too small and tight overall though because that space is in the wrong place for me, seems like the orange in a glass problem. And the wires are too tall for my short roots. I'm still keeping it but will keep looking for a better fitting bra. It's fairly comfortable after a couple of washes.
