I've had a similar size issue with Bradelis. The size recommended from the chart for me is 32F and I found it to be too big in the band and a bit large in the cup. I have grown a bit in size since the purchase and now fill the cups pretty well with the removable pads in them.

I am not sure now if I would like the 30F or 30G better. I think the 30F cups would be perfect without the removable padding. The 30G will hopefully allow me many more months of wear because there will be room to grow. It is nice that most of the bras come with the removable pads.

The Step 1 Bra I have is the Connie. I really like the style. It is very soft and pillowy. It actually adds a lot of projection. In most bras I measure 35" bust, in this one I measure 37". When I remove the bra my breasts have more tissue on the inner part of the boob, so I know it is shaping them. The one thing I don't like is that the lace at the top gaps open a little, so it isn't smooth under shirts. I can only wear it under some tops or with a cami to smooth it down. If I was industrious I would take the lace in about 1/4" on each side (and tack it to the straps). I really should do that.

I am just waiting for a good time in my budget to get a couple of Step 2 bras. I'm drooling over a couple of them.
