My shape: Teardrop with immediate projection, as well as super wide (wraps about to my shoulder blades) and tall (within 2 fingers of my collarbone) roots that give me all the problems Shallow ladies have, with firm tissue that fights back when smooshed and that almost meets (less than 1 finger) on my sternum.

I tried this on at Intimacy because they didn't have my size in the navy satin-stripe and lace Amour push up (a new color for autumn 2015). This is how it fit on the TIGHTEST set of hooks!

Sadly, the band runs quite loose in the whole line of Simone Perele, so "the smallest band you have" was still quite loose. The fitter gave me a 30F, which fit at least a size looser than what I need, and the band was already riding up on the tightest set of hooks as I stood in the fitting room. It was about 1 full cup size smaller than my Fauves and Freyas in 30F, too. She did say they could easily alter the band down with their alterations service, but unfortunately there is nothing to be done about the cups.

The wires were a little narrow for me, but the whole bra was soft and very comfortable, so much so that I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't think to make specific note of it. (Note too that I have yet to find a bra that properly encompasses both the extreme width and shallow curve shape of my breast roots, so I also don't feel wires sitting on top of breast root tail like others might.) I also think it was just a little shallow for me, which contributed a little to the quadboob effect at the top of the cup, but I didn't have it on long enough to notice any migration or settling.

I do feel I should warn all ladies, too, that because it is so superbly soft, there is no nipple discretion at all - they show RIGHT through! It's almost as bad as my 30FF - Freya » Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501) , which has a cup literally made of just a single layer of stretch satin, and this Amour is supposed to be lined!

It's very pretty, so I'm a little disappointed. On the other hand, I guess the silver lining is I know ahead of time that I shouldn't waste my money buying this model, since they won't fit.
