I have always had trouble getting a bra that fits. I found a web site that told me how to measure myself and it said I was a 40B!I was always measured much differently. This was one of a few offered in that size and it was pretty. This bra fit perfectly. I think the lace which goes under the bust helps to keep it from pulling away from the body. I have lost weight and my new measurement is 36D. I can't wait to get the new size and see how it fits! Try this you will like it but get a true measurement first. You should get a measuring tape and fit yourself! That's the first step. One consideration is the heavy lace I usually wear a cami over something light weight.
