I wear a 30D or a 32C and am5’2” and about 125-130lbs. I’m wide set with lots of side fullness and slightly on shallow end, making me fairly hard to fit. I dithered between a Medium and a Small and finally went with the small for the correct band size. I wore it for 5 days: Day 1 as is, Day 2 smaller circumference thin pads for shape, Day 3 same pads but crossed straps, and Day 4 and 5 straight straps with wider circumference thin pads. The wider pads work better, giving the cup more shape and helping keep things where I placed them.
The band is a little tight, but within the realm of what I normally wear — not uncomfortable but noticeable. There is no doubt that it’s a fairly comfortable bra, but it doesn’t do any shaping for me because with my shape it’s really more like a hammock than a supportive cup. The pads help, smoothing the look under t-shirts. The biggest problem here is that I like a bra that will help keep some of that side tissue more front and center after I scoop and swoop. Worn with straight straps this definitely does not do that. The straps are very wide on my shoulder, they don’t slide but because of their width they don’t really do much to support — all the support is the band. Crossing them helps a lot to get things centered, but also shows that the cups are actually too small. (The straps also dig in quite painfully when crossed.) Worn with straight straps I also have very minor spillage, but so do most of the models so I’m on the fence as to whether it’s the bra’s shape or that the cups are too small. The biggest positive is that fabric of the Wool& bra under my arms is SO MUCH better. I struggle with itchiness and occasional rashes and switching back to my usual bras I noticed that I became noticeably more itchy with the switch back to synthetic fabric. The wool truly is better for my skin, I just need the RIGHT wool!
I’m going to try a medium. I expect the band will give me less support, but I’m hoping the cup are enough bigger to work with crossed straps.
