I've tried a few sizes of the Idina plunge now, and it fits me very strangely. It's close in a lot of ways, but doesn't quite work for the shape of my breasts.

First thing first, it runs small in the band and in the cups. It's not unusual for me to end up in a 36 band because of my v-shaped back, but the 34 hurt and created huge underarm rolls. As others have said, definitely consider going up a band size and a cup size.

The Idina is a beautifully made, relatively plain bra with pretty details. The copper-toned hardware is a nice touch, and the lined lace ... is soft and comfortable from the beginning. I think I must be exactly between cup sizes in this bra. The E was too small all over. I had some quadboob that the elastic at the top of the cups seemed to make worse, and, while I liked the side support, the wires were definitely sitting on breast tissue under my arms. The F, though, feels too big in several ways. The wires are (finally) in the right place to contain my wide wide roots, but now there's gapping at the top of the cups (although the elastic helps) and the cups are deep enough that I can't fill the bottom, either.

The gore is quite tall for a plunge, and while I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate that as a feature, it's not comfortable for me. While I don't want to let go of a bra that has wide enough wires, I'm giving up on the Idina now. I wanted to like it, but it just doesn't work.
