likesI have a 28D Lucy in purple and a 28DD Lucy in pink. The straps, band length, and centre gore are the same on both.
28DD's underwires come up higher under the arms, and the band is visibly somewhat wider. I am convinced that the cup also feels wider because I have empty space on the lower sides, but they measure the same width.
28D quads on my right boob. 28DD wrinkles on my left boob. The bigger bra is comfier but the smaller one looks better and I prefer purple. I could get away with wearing either (but I really prefer Marcie over both of them because it fits both boobs in 28D without compromise).
