Of the few EM bras I've tried so far, this one has by far the stretchiest band. With their other bras, I've been perfectly happy to stick with the comfortable tightness of a 30 band, rather than special ordering my usual 28 band. Here, however, the band is stretchy enough that I'd go with a 28, if I felt like braving their custom ordering process. Other than that, I'm very happy with this bra. The cups are similar to the CHP Stalowka, which I adore, with the large, folded-over border along the tops of the cups and slightly less stiff cups than some other EM half-cups, like the Kobalt or Fiolek. It's actually prettier on than I expected and the color is definitely peachy rather than nude, which is great (and what I was hoping for). I find that EM half-cups (never tried the plunges) make me look much smaller than other bras (ex: CK Showgirl bras, Cleo Juna, Lepel Fiore) and sometimes give a "little coconut shells" silhouette under a shirt, but I don't mind that too much (it's just personal preference, after all) and they do look amazing when not under clothes.

One additional effect of the stretchy band is that the tension of the band when worn doesn't pull/widen the cups as much as usual, which makes this, in effect, too narrow a cup for me, even though it's the same width as other EM bras that do end up being wide enough.
