After a weight change, I needed new bras. My suggested size from the calculator was 40JJ or 42J (UK), As it can overestimate cup size a bit in softer, less firm and pendulous breasts, I chose 40J/42HH, one size smaller than the calculator. I ordered different models in several brands: Panache, Sculptresse by Panache, Elomi, Cleo by Panache, and Goddess. While 42HH tended to be the right size, a few were off, such as this. This 42HH least two cup sizes too large, though the band was comfortable. Could be a manufacturing or labeling error, of course. Whatever it is, the bra is going back.
The ... colorway, sunset, is coppery and the embroidered parts of it almost sparkle. Typical of most UK bras in this size range, it has 3 hooks and 1.8 mm straps; the straps are likely long enough for most people. It is a little creaky in a few places, but imagine if I washed it that this would go away.
The gore tacked (mostly), thought there was a bit or gapping at the top. The band fit nicely and the bottom of the cup fit in the IMF with no issues at the bottom or lower sides of the cup.
It is listed as a balconette; it fits much more like a full cup. The top of the cup and area in the underarm both have extra material. The wires are so long that they poke the lower part of my upper arm. And, while most of these have wider wires than my breasts, there is at least an extra 4-5 mm of fabric past the IMF at the top part of the cup.
I won't bother to go down a cup size or two. The wire is in the IMF now with no extra material. When I go down, I'll lose that material. It's just not shaped well for my breasts.
Current measurements from Reddit calculator: L109, C105,T 97, and S136, LN141, L134.

This probably the best fitting "pretty" bra I've ever owned. The fit seems ideal. I am EXTREMELY irritated, however, that the embroidery texture shows through on all relatively thin shirts (as in ALL of my spring and summer tops)!
