I love this bra, and it was a total surprise. I didn't expect the 36DDD to fit, because I'm usually more of UK F/US G. But I think the cup must run a little big, because the wire and cup shape is the same as my Panache Porcelain Moulded T-shirt Bra (3376) in 36F and the cup is even a tiny bit roomier. Granted, the gore doesn't quite tack, but that's because my breasts are different enough sizes that I usually have to split the difference. I also think the gore might not be quite wide enough, but I've never found ... a gore wide enough for my wide-set breasts. I've got a little room in the cup on the small side and it's maybe a little tight on the large side, but ultimately I'm not spilling out or getting either quadboob or wrinkled cups so I call that a win. Sizing up might let the gore tack but then I'd be swimming on my smaller side. EDIT: Yeah, no. I tried it on in my correct size and it fits well on both sides. This bra is slightly stretchy in the cup, so it might be good for people kind of in between sizes, but you should buy your regular size in this bra. All the good things I say below still apply, though.

There are several genius things about this bra. It's made of that lightweight spacer foam, which really does work to keep you cool on hot days. And unlike my Fantasie Rebecca (2024), which I felt didn't give quite enough lift and only has a small panel inside the cup at the side to keep your breasts center, this bra has a support panel that covers about half the cup, so it's lightweight but still lifts.

Also, I love the shape of this bra. It has a more open, balconette shape that I love. The top if the cup is super-rounded, which fits my FOB boobs really well. The shape at the top of the cup is similar to the Panache Porcelain, but it's more flexible, so it conforms better to my breasts. The top of the cup is also just stretchy enough that I think it might accommodate some breasts with a little more fullness on top as well.

The bra comes up a little higher under the arm than I'd like and digs into the armpit a little, but this is the case with 99%of bras out there, and that's really the only drawback. Otherwise it's a comfortable, supportive bra that gives me the nice round shape I prefer.

I do find it hilarious that they call this style "Seduction" because it's such a basic bra. Still, basic was what I was looking for.
