Not perfect, but the best so far

I'm revising this now that I've washed it and worn it a couple of times. Still 4 stars, but closer to 5 now. I'm still trying to determine my exact size, which has changed a lot (much bigger; i.e., I've put on a lot of weight) since the last time I bought bras.Herroom.com says I should be a 38 band with a 6D universal cup size. I haven't yet found any bras that I can close the hooks on a 38 band, so I've been looking at 40 inch bands. At Nordstrom, they sized me at 40DD for most brands, and 40E (a 3D universal cup size) for Elomi Caitlyn. Most of the 40DDs I've tried don't fit at all (too small).This bra is a 40DD, and is the best fitting of the bras I've tried so far, with the possible exception of the Elomi Caitlyn 40E.The cups fit smoothly, and the wires lay flat when I first got it. After washing, the center panel doesn't lay perfectly flat on my breastbone; I may need one cup size larger. The band was a little snug at first, but after washing, it's very comfortable. At first, the band was curling up, but it's not doing that any more. There is no band under the cups, but it's feeling OK anyway.I really like that the cups are seamless and smooth and unpadded. After the first washing, there is no itching or discomfort of the band at all. The cut is a little high on the sides, but that's what enables the bra to push the tissues more to the front, so I can't really complain too much. As I say, I think there is still some fine tuning to do regarding fit. I really should try the size that Herroom.com recommends.Much to my surprise, two hooks (instead of three) is working just fine. The position of the shoulder straps is perfect, I can get the band and shoulder straps nicely settled between and below my shoulder blades so that everything fits comfortably.
