I bought this bra from Broad Lingerie in Toronto, ON. They do carry this style regularly, but normally starting from a higher band size. This size was a special order for someone else, and it didn't end up working out for them, so I lucked out! I had been wanting an unlined, "nude" bra for myself, and originally I was hesitant because of the stretch lace upper section, but it's actually quite unnoticeable under 98% of my shirts.
The bra is made up of a shiny knit fabric for all the sections except the upper, which is made out of a floral stretch lace. The stretch lace is amazingly soft and conforms to any sort of size fluctuations. I think my breasts have recently been a little bigger than usual, so I'm almost on the cusp of having to size up for my polish bras (from 55G/60FF to 55GG/60G in the unlined styles, and up one more cup for the padded styles). I've actually been getting a little bit of in-cup quadding in this bra because of the difference in materials (the stiffer knit fabric vs. the stretch lace), but it hasn't bothered me too much yet. Hopefully I don't grow anymore or it would become a problem.
The band has four columns of hooks, which is awesome, and I fluctuate between the first and third sets of hooks depending on whether it's been washed recently, whether I'm a little bloated from my period, etc. The gore tacks and is short and really comfy. The cups are really comfy and I don't know how the heck they do it but this bra gives me the most rounded, uplifted shape ever. The cups have really good apex depth and also pretty good immediate depth at the wire. The straps are set slightly wide, but I deal with it fine enough. It's not ideal, but it's also not a deal breaker for me. The straps don't bother my armpits at all. The straps are smooth and have average stretchiness (not like my crazy-stretchy SM Summertime straps...).

Overall, great bra, and great experience at Broad Lingerie!
