Question 1

Sizing chart is very confusing, the over bust measurements are smaller than the under bust? I don't know how to size in this brand.

Accepted Answer

I have worn this bra style for a very long time.  The instructions used here may be confusing but just use the correct method and it should still fit.  Measure using a tape measure for sewing that is flexible.  First obtain the measurement for your band.  Add to that 4" for even and 5" for odd.  Example:  if your under bust measurement is 38" you would add 4" to that.  If it is 37" add 5".  The result will be your band size so in this example it is 42.  Next measure around the fullest part of your bust.  For example:  bust measurement is 48".  Subtract your band measurement of 42" from the bust measurement 48" which is 6".  6"=ddd/f.  
0=AA
1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=DD
6=DDD/F
7=G
Your bra should fit snug not tight at the band and not ride up.  It should lay flat at the gore(center).  Support should come from the band not the straps.    
This is a style meant to lift and separate.
Keep in mind that normally when you go up a size in the band you reduce a cup size and same with going down a band size you would increase the cup size.  This gives you close to the same fit.  I feel this bra/style is the exception to that rule.  I have kept the same cup size but have increased the band size due to wire issues I have experienced with this specific bra.  Although my fit was perfect at my regular size, no riding up, center was flat etc...without fail the wires always begin to come out of the front of the cups.  I haven't had the wire problem on the sides only in front and that is even more irritating/annoying.  It seemed to improve when I increased the band although it still happens.  May or may not be the case for you.  
While this is still my preferred bra I have never had the bra without wire issues longer than 3 months and for the price it should last longer than that.  
Hope this helps you.

Question 2

Does this bra allow you to show cleavage and wear low cut tops?

Accepted Answer

Well I've read a description on it before that says great for plunging necklines, but after wearing it I would say it's a full coverage bra and it separates your breasts with no cleavage.there is a spot in between the cups where it's just the hook at the bottom and room for a finger or two to pass in between down to the hook. I guess it's just going to depend on how the bra hits you and how low the top is cut as to if it would work for that. But as far as cleavage goes though this isn't a push together and show off your assets kind of bra, but more a separate and control kind of bra. I hope that helps! :-)

Question 3

Does the lace look bumpy under t shirts

Accepted Answer

The lace on the medieval blue version shows thru my teeshirt, pretty bumpy. Very unfortunate, it's a beautiful design and nice lift.

Question 4

Could my elderly arthritic mum manage the clip?

Accepted Answer

I have arthritis in my hands. I found it impossible to manage the clip, so I had to send it back. I like the idea of a front-closure bra, but this one isn't right for me.
