Sigh. I give up with European brands. I just can't figure out their sizing.

According to the measurements listed for this bra, I thought it would fit me okay. I'm wearing bras between 10.4-10.8 depths. This bra has a depth closer to an even 10" and it is just way too small for me. It severely cuts into my boobs on the top and I can't scoop and swoop enough of my breast into them. The shape of the bra smashes my boobs down instead of lifting and separating them. I'm thinking orange-in-glass effect.

The band rides up a bit also. I measure 33" around and I feel that ... this bra is larger than 34". It also doesn't help that I have to shorten the straps by a lot to get the shape of this bra to work for me.

I like bras that compliment my mostly even shape, giving me a round look under clothes. I also like cleavage, but without quadboob. This bra does none of that for me. I'm really disappointed because the pattern is wonderful and the measurements told a different story...

I'll probably be passing this on soon. At least I didn't pay anything for it (just swapped with a bra that didn't fit me anyway).

(purchased I think NWT, but I forgot)

Grey patterned lightly padded 3-part cup, kind of halfway between a balconette and a plunge to me. Tops of cups are angled down and the gore is low, but it's not like a super plunge cut. Print is a med-dark grey background with lighter grey ribbons/bows decorated with black geometric shapes.

Quickie initial impression: Initially was too tight in the band and the cup (just a little). Now this may be my best-fitting bra in my current boob/body configuration.

Update after months... and weight loss

It doesn't fit me any more. Too big in the band.
Cup depth is still okay, but the fit just isn't right.
I have this feeling I didn't measure it correctly... or maybe it's just that it is worn and everything is looser than it was when it was new.

Pretty bra, about a cup size too small for me.
