True to size band, very nice. I'd say best for shallow boobs - it was slightly too wide for me, and did not have enough projection.

• Oh wooow but that's unfortunately small. What's your full bust measurement these days? I'm wondering whether to attempt the 36J myself. I wonder if they knew this one ran small and that's why the extra size?

• It's 48.5" today. Which is pretty much my usual. But my underbust has gone down to a staggering 29.75" super tight, so the difference is larger than usually (while being on Bratabase, it has been up to 33.5"). My loose measurement has also gone down, from just shy of 36" to now a flat 34". Weirdly enough, bra bands don't really seem looser on me... So I think my small measurement is only for an area much narrower than most bands - thus they can still be snug at the top of the band for example.

  I'm baffled that this one is so small though, because Georgina was able to go with her usual size - I know my boobs are very soft and thus quadroboob in cases where firmer boobs would just get a bit push-up effect, but this is a lot. Hence why I think the width vs. projection is to blame.

• This worries me o.O what's your larger boob perimeter if you don't mind me asking?

• 18" (Which is up about 1" from earlier measurements), when going by the mark from the wire on my new Cleo Meg, which is the most appropropriate wire-width I own.

  I look forward to see other reviews of this bra, to figure out what type of breast it works best for.

• I would just like to comment and say that I think it'd be better if you described this bra as good for "wide and shallow boob" instead of just shallow. I need extremely narrow wires yet my boobs are shallow in projection. I think it's a term that needs to be recognized as not only a one-way shape :) One can be either wide + shallow, narrow + shallow and average + shallow :)
