    30F

    Didn't fit

    This bra runs small. I ordered a 30F (UK) 30G (US). The fit was ok, except for the top of the cups were gaping a little. It seems maybe 1 size smaller would fit better. This bra is getting returned. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Maybe I will try 1 size smaller because it is a really pretty pink bra and I like the fact that the cups are short instead of tall. Because my torso is very short.

    34FF

    Didn't fit

    This bra is listed as a 34FF, but the band is much smaller. Fits like a 32G. I've also heard that this bra's cups run big, so it may even be like a 32GG. I am projected, FOB, with short roots. This bra is said to be projected, but it is FOT instead of FOB. If you are a 32G/GG who is projected & FOT, this may be the bra for you!

    I have narrower shoulders and the straps are decent, so they may be too close set if you have wide shoulders.

    30DD

    Didn't fit

    As a shallow, wide set lady I often appear smaller than I am. I love this balconette because it does contain everything and brings them front and center where they belong. This bra has 2 pieces of side boning on the sides, which I prefer. The straps are too far apart, and the gore could be narrowed, however, I find I can move the wires down to a more comfortable position. Definitely a keeper.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    Cute bra. I've got the pink colorway.

    The top cuts in too much - I probably should have sized up...I'm also pms swollen atm though, so that may change a bit. I run even, so the cup may cut in at the top because of that too.Shallow-ish? definitely pushes up.
    Not a t-shirt bra - the fabric is very silky, but the seams (? Folds?) at the top of the cup can be seen. It doesn't bother me, and the folds lay flat.

    Band is snug at a 30, cups run at least one size small, since I'm usually a 30e.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    This bra is so FRUSTRATING.

    Why, you ask? Because it is so damn adorable. I feel the construction on it is better than the Cleo bras. Rather than two flimsy hooks in the back, there are three good hooks. The band feels firm, not quite as stretchy. There are double supports on the sides.

    AND IT DOESN'T FIT. I bought it online but GUESS WHAT they were using US cup sizes. Having it come in as a UK G was a rude surprise. :'(

    30D

    Didn't fit

    I have this in pink. I love love love the pattern (even though I'm not a crazy pink fan). It's almost certainly my favorite bra in terms of appearance. The one (very) slight peeve is that the shade of pink on the straps and the mesh doesn't quite match the mauvish tone of the rest of the bra.

    This is INCREDIBLY comfortable, absolutely zero digging in or whatever. There's side boning too, which I really like, and that isn't pokey either. The pleating detail is more or less invisible under clothing, unless we're talking skintight tops.

    I'm normally a 28DD (sometimes E), rather FOT, and 30D was probably not the right size for me. There's mild quadboob by itself, and fairly severe quadboob after swoop and scoop. If this was a 2-part cup, I could have probably pulled this off, but there are three parts, and the upper part sort of juts back and causes quadboob.

    I've ordered one size up, 30DD, and we'll see if that fits any better.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    This bra is delightfully pretty, with smooth, comfortable fabric, and it is a good shape for my slightly firm, full on top breasts. However, the brand must run tiny, because the cups were definitely too small for me -- and my Freya Deco is a 28G. My breasts are fairly low set on my body, and this bra didn't give me enough lift (although I can't quite tell if that's partly because the cups were too small). I returned this one to Ebay.
