I ordered a 44H normally wear a 42.  Should have ordered a 42 because the band is true to size.  This bra is very comfortable with padded shoulder straps.  Lifts very well for having no underwire.  Washed well.  Plan on buying another.  Not good to wear under T-shirts but with a jacket, scarf, or sweater it provides nice sillouette for such a large cup size.
