Not as good as the Claudia

Didn't intend to buy this as I was looking for pale colour but nothing available in my size that fit propoerly. I bought this instead because it was similar to the Claudia, which is one of my go-to styles. I wear the Claudia in an H cup also.
Although it looks pretty much the same there are a few points of difference. Firstly the mesh fabric is much "heavier" and less stretchy. This makes it a bit itchy especially around the back. It also seems to make the cups come up smaller - although it seemed OK when I first put it on I do have more tendancy to fall out of them during the day. Can't go up a cup size as I'm already in the maximum.
Second niggle is that the only bits that AREN'T firm is the loops that hold the clasps in place. The clasps slide around on them (like those annoying handbag staps on D rings that always slip sideways) so they don't always sit right. I find the clasp a bit more fiddly to do and undo than the Claudia as well, and very stiff. Hopefully it will become less so with more wear.
In conclusion, I will wear it, but probably wouldn't buy more unless desparate. Given the scarcity of true low centre front bras (which is all I can wear) above a G cup, especially in pale colours thats not unlikely, but PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL CLAUDIA!
