I ordered this bra simultaneously with the 32D to compare sizes. This 32DD is way too big on me though.
Bra description:
A plain bra with smooth, moulded cups made out of the thinnest and most pliable foam I've encountered so far (not counting spacer knit). The foam on the inside of the cups is fused to comfortable cotton jersey, the outside of the cups has a smooth, slightly shiny, knit overlay that reminds me a bit of swimwear lycra. The wings are also made out of a 'swimwear' lycra-like material and very stretchy. The straps are only partly adjustable. The non-adjustable part of the straps and the top edge ... of the wings are made out of a continuous strip of elastic encased within a folded under strip of the same 'swimwear' lycra-like material. The adjustable part of the straps are made of wide, ordinary strap elastic. All findings on this bra, including the hooks and eyes, are black. There are no decorative elements whatsoever.
Bra fit:
As said, this bra is the oddest fit I've encountered so far. Needless to say it doesn't fit AT ALL, but apart from the fact that in this size the cups are clearly too big for me, the why is more mysterious. The wires are the perfect width, the band is true-to-size and very very comfortable (it's very stretchy but simultaneously nice and firm), but the cup shape ... oh, the shape! I've had this problem with almost every bra I've tried this far, but this bra hands down is the worst: for some reason the cups close in on my chest like crazy, 'biting' into my breast tissue as if they want to cut of circulation and creating the oddest shape ever. Even though I don't fill the cups by any stretch of the imagination, the cup edges are so tight that it almost hurts.
Conclusion:
I don't know what's going on with this bra. Size-wise it is obviously too big off, but even in the smaller size shape-wise it's such a complete mismatch it makes me want to scream. It's a shame as it's quite a nice, basic bra -- boring perhaps, but the super-thin foam and cotton lining would have made it a comfortable everyday option.
