    The back band is quite stretchy and the cups are roomy. It could probably fit a 32HH fairly well, or even a 32J. I usually wear a 32H/HH, and the cups are just a bit too big, although the band fits perfectly.

    This bra does have a good amount of projection. There is adjustable lace to conform to the bust shape above the bra, so would be good to accommodate for varying bust sizes.

    It's a beautiful bra, but unfortunately, just doesn't work for me!

    This is a really pretty bra. I like the color combination, and the details on the are really neat. there are little butterfly things on the top edge.
    The fit and shape just don't work for me. The lace is a little loose on the top, although if I scoop and swoop I also have a little bit of quadding where the bottom part meets the lace. This would be fine, but I also get a really weird shape. It flattens the bottom curve of my breast, then it comes to a rounded point in the nipple area. It's sort of a torpedo shape, but very flat. It is I think the only bra I have tried that my breasts actually sit in the bottom of with no empty space.

    • Sorry it did not work out. It is a difficult bra to fit. I had similar fit issues with Marcie. It also gave me in cup quadding and a very projected shape / torpedo shape.

    • i also feel the same way about the marcie, have u tried the Cleo Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) ? i don't fit into the marcie, but the lucy fit's almost perfect. maybe you'd have luck with that one... it's discontinued, but u can still find them on the internet at discount/outlet places.

    These measurements are for the yellow bra (as I also have a purple 30J but I found the measurements are slightly different). I have 5 Marcies now in various sizes. It's a tried and true style for projected FOT breasts. Nowadays, I prefer Polish bras, but the Marcie is still pretty great.
    Marcie is very projected and quite open on top, and is one of the few UK styles I've tried that actually allows for centre fullness, rather than only upper fullness. I almost find it too projected, as I like a natural more anchored cut. I bought the 30J a while ago and never wore it, as I ended up dropping down to about a 30H/HH so this cup is way too big for me now.
    This style is great if you have close set breasts but don't want to go for a plunge, because even though the centre gore seems high, it tacks really well sits flush against the sternum and is pretty narrow. The wires are pretty average width, though I need narrower.

    Only worn for a few minutes to try on and review. Bought for $26.40 online (free shipping & returns) from Amazon.com after a 20% discount for signing up for their fashion news email in February 2014.
    Wires - The wire width was probably narrow enough, but a little narrower would be even better. The length/height of the wires didn't bother me.
    Comfort - The straps are wide-set enough to rub the front of my armpit, but it seems every bra does this, some worse than others. I can't tell if this would break in comfortably or just get worse with extended wear.
    Fit - The band is snug. ... The center gore does actually tacks! Not firmly - when I slouch, there is a small gap, but still, much better fit than most I've tried. The cup flares out a little on my smaller (right) side. There doesn't seem to be a fold or wrinkling in the bottom of the cups, which is also a better-than-usual fit. Both sides have empty space at the top corners where my armpit/boob crease is.
    Under clothing - Very nice round shape; the seams are noticeable under a clingy top.
    Overall - Although this bra seems so close to being a good fit, and I am tempted to keep it, I don't think it fits any better than the Cleo Bella I already have in 30J, and since that's not an ideal fit, I'd rather not spend the money on another bra I feel is uncomfortable to wear all day. I'd LOVE to find a bra that fits with straps that don't touch the front of my armpit!

    It fits in all the right ways...I don't have any quadboob (a first for me in a while), it encloses all of my breast tissue, and it's pretty comfortable. The gore, though only .5 inches wide, is still too separated or too high for my non-separated boobs. Also, the wires are possibly a bit too wide on the sides.

    The lace is stretchy on top, so this gives the bra a better fit for more shapes, but again, the wide cups cause my breasts to get pressed up against my chest, leaving those little creases between my breast and underarm in the front.

    While this bra is very pretty, I couldn't fill out either the top or bottom of the cups. Also, the underwires were itchy and I couldn't stand the bra.

    I haven't worn it out of the apartment yet and will update this review when I do, but so far I LOVE this bra. Love the look, both color and shape, very comfy (on first try at least), good projection, etc. Update ASAP!
