I can't speak as to how this bra fits the average cup size, but if you are looking for an extended cup size bra, this one is amazing. I've just ordered my 5th one of this style. It lasts well, it lifts, the under wire actually fits properly against the chest wall (which is something I have never had before!), and at the same time, the under wire doesn't come up so high on the sides that it stabs you in the underarm.

The bra is slightly shiny, I saw another review say it was a dull finish - I have several of these and all are shiny. They look good under even light weight t-shirts, because of the smooth finish. There is a seam in the middle of the cup, but I have not found it to be really noticeable.

I had previously been ordering these from bare necessities, but did a Google search after they excluded this brand from their last several sales. Can't tell you how happy I am to find it on Amazon for HALF the price I had previously been paying. Thanks, Amazon!
