My initial thoughts on this bra were that it was too small, but I liked the way it looked on. After wearing it twice, I can see that it's one of those "come home and quickly take it off" kind of bras -- nothing "leisure" about it. I ordered my regular size, and I had to pull, push and squeeze to get into it. The arm holes are VERY small, which means that it sits high in the back (and under the arms) and puts undo pressure on the shoulders. My shoulders were actually burning after wearing it for a short time. I'm very disappointed, because I do like the way it looks. I actually think it's very pretty. Surprisingly, my teen daughter who's very bra-fussy wants one. It would probably be better-suited to a regular-sized girl. If you are plus size and need that extra room, consider another bra. If you do decide to give this one a try, add at least FOUR inches to your measurement. I ordered a 44 for my mother, and it didn't fit. It did, however, nicely fit my sister who wears a 40.
