Only worn for a few minutes to try on and review. Bought for $18.10 online (free shipping & returns) from Amazon.com after a 20% discount for signing up for their fashion news email in February 2014.
Wires - The wire width was probably narrow enough, but a little narrower would be even better. The length/height of the wires didn't bother me.
Comfort - The straps are wide-set enough to rub the front of my armpit, but I'm used to this. If I keep this bra, I will try it with a racerback clip to see if it helps and update my review.
Fit - The band feels just right! Very snug without being tight or constricting. The center gore does not quite tack at the top, but it's close enough for me. I wonder if it were a little narrower if it might tack completely. The top edge of the right cup (my smaller side) ripples a tiny bit, but not enough to bother me. There is a bit of a fold and some wrinkling at the bottom of the cup on both sides. I am OK with it given that the overall fit is the best I've had in an unlined bra. Both sides have a little bit of empty space at the top corners where my armpit/boob crease is.
Under clothing - Very nice round shape; the seams are noticeable under a clingy top.
Overall - I think I'm going to keep it! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

Update: After wearing a full day, the straps in my armpits are very irritating, plus they keep falling off my shoulders. My racerback clip is really inconvenient and difficult to use by myself, but I will update again after I try it. Also I find the fold/empty space at the bottom of the cups just gets worse; at the end of the day, the wire marks were about an inch below my IMF. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I could also tell by the marks that the wires are too wide, but I'm not sure if that is tied to the wires being pushed down.

Update #2: The straps are too short to use the racerback clip with. Instead I adjusted the straps as short as they would go, and they didn't slip off my shoulders nearly as much. The straps rubbing on my arms/armpits isn't as bad as it was after the first day; it may have just needed some breaking in. It does still leave pink marks on my skin, though. The fact that the gore does not tack but the cups are filled makes me wonder if I need a larger cup size... and I still hate that the wires do not sit in my fold. While I still like this bra overall, now I'm on the hunt to find a bra that fits better!
