Update 18 September:
Bah, the bra is too wide for me, after all :/ I notice that I leave it in the dresser because during all-day wear, the wires start to poke and the too-far-apart straps kind of dig in my armpits.
So I'll just have to list it and go for a 30H.

Well this was an interesting acquaintance!
When I received the bra, my first thought was that the cups are HUGE, there’s no way in the world I’m going to fill those!
And indeed, the cups are very big – but funnily enough, not really too big. I think I could go with a 30H, too, i.e. a size ... smaller both in the band and the cup, but I might be in risk of quad-boobing. The 32H gives more coverage than the half-cups I currently own, but that definitely isn’t a problem, on the contrary. The support is really amazing!! The cups are actually too wide for me, and the straps are really wide-set, which I assumed would feel uncomfortable, but surprisingly enough, the whole package just feels really firm and supportive. I could even run a bit in this bra without having to be afraid of ending up with two black eyes.
Even though there's no gaping in the cups themselves, the lace on the top of the cup doesn’t sit perfectly flat (which I assume it would were the cups a tad smaller), but it sets as I put a shirt on. The thick embroidery + the “gaping” lace means that I can’t wear this bra under shirts with thin material, but for me it’s not really a problem.
The band is very firm and doesn’t stretch much. I wear this on the second-tightest hooks as new, but I hope I won’t have to alter down it too soon. There are only two hooks, which is a definite con. The band is also a bit weirdly constructed so that it looks as if it’s riding up, even though it sits put. I love the supportiveness of the band, but it’s not exactly a back fat eliminating whole.
And the straps... Padded, flat comfort straps!!!! <3
Summa summarum: this actually should be a far worse fit than it really is: too wide and slightly large cups, wide-set straps, not-really-perfect band... but the whole is incredibly comfortable and supportive. The Delphi looks like a special occasions bra (so pretty!), but I suspect this one will be my heavy-used everyday bra.

I have this bra in 32H because I figured from the measurements that it would fit. However, it was too big both in the band and the cup, so I got myself a 30H.
It's pretty near perfect. Love the rounded yet somewhat compressed shape, love the comfort straps, love the looks... Everything! The band is snug but that's definitely no problem, it is bound to stretch with wear anyway.
The straps, however, are REALLY wide-set. Luckily they're soft and wide so they don't dig in, but I get a weird gaping on the side on my left (= my smaller boob) when I lean forward and/or turn my shoulders forward. I assume this is because of the wide-set straps, so I'll make a fitting help request and probably move the straps closer if my suspicions are confirmed.

Uh... I bought this bra as a home/comfort bra, but it really doesn't serve its purpose. The band is really... hard in some way, very uncomfortable.
The cups don't give a nice shape, which wasn't a big surprise really, being an unwired bra. The goal was to get a comfortable bra... but the cups are also very uncomfortable! Very rigid and tight, it's like wearing an armour. And don't even get me started on the weird quad-boob I get.
On top of it all, the whole thing squashes my breast together, which is very sweaty during summer.
The bra admittedly is surprisingly pretty for a softcup bra. But as far as comfort goes, not good at all.

Oh, wow... I don't have a plunge bra so I thought/hoped this would fit in my underwear drawer nicely.
But nope. I mean NOPE.
The bra itself is incredibly cute and I really hoped it would fit, but it doesn't. It's SO bad on me I don't even think it's worthwile to post pictures, because I simply don't do the bra any justice.
The cups look quite huge, actually, but in reality they're just really broad/shallow and have very little volume. The result on me is a MEGA quadboob. And thanks to the band starting halfway on the side of the cups, the bottom of the cup (i.e. under the band) is completely empty.
The straps adjust all the way and seem very comfortable. The band is quite small but very stretchy.
So if you're full-on-top, I'd say just forget this bra. Probably would go better for FOB boobs? IDK.
