I wanted to love this bra because of the color and dimension of the lace, but alas too many negatives to keep it. First off, the cups are just a bit too large for me. They are pretty tall-8.2" measured along the vertical seam and on up through the top of the cup.The gore and sides are very tall and the wires poke me in the underarms. The lace shows through clothing. It was a hot day when I tried this on and the lace cups made me feel even warmer. Also not thrilled with the shape I got in this, although that may be partly because of the too large cup size. The 3-part cups are stretch lace lined completely with tulle. There is an internal side sling made of an additional doubled layer of tulle that extends from the strap to the bottom of the cup at the vertical seam. I'm just not convinced this is enough side support even in the correct cup size.

The band is comfortable and supportive, although I did have to fasten it on the middle set of hooks to keep the flexible side stays planted firmly against my side. The front of the band is lined with power mesh and the back is lined with the same tulle as the cups. Straps are not too wide and the front have a pretty satin and matte finish. Both the fronts and backs of the straps are rather stretchy.

It appears to be a very nicely made bra although matronly in style. I wouldn't pay $58.00 USD for it but it was on sale at kohls.com for 20% off. Of course I can return it at the local Kohl's store which is another reason that I didn't hesitate to order it, but I don't think I'll try again with a smaller cup, at least not this model.
