likesThe 30DD Betsey Johnson is the best-fitting bra I have found for my shallow boobs. I actually measure for a 28 band, and it fits well, in contrast to most 30 bands that are too big for me even when brand new.
The 30E Carys is too long in the band, as you can see in the comparison photo, but I kept it because I got it for a great price. I intend to add a few stitches to the band to reduce the elasticity.
Both have cups that are nice and open on top, with 2 vertical seams, but the cups are a bit too deep in the 30E Carys (if I went down a cup size, the wires were too narrow/short).
