I just received this in the purple color, a band up and cup down.
In the 30DDD I have an issue with the cups puckering, as the band has little give (barely any stretchy material, mostly non stretchy lace) measures about 27".
This band seems a lot better, and my issue with the puckering is gone.

This model fits my shape nicely, I like the sling-like cups. It is somewhat wide and shallow, but I don't have much of an issue with this model as I do with other wide/shallow bras, for whatever reason.
I don't have the issue in the 32 band like I do with the 30 where I scoop and swoop and quad but still pucker on top and bottom, which is nice.

In my experience with this bra, you should probably go up a band and down a cup.
As I mentioned, the cups are a little shallow and wires semi wide, but I have very narrow boobs, so I think this is intended for average roots and a bit of shallowness.
I'm very projected in the center and shallow on top, with soft tissue, so my tissue is mostly pushed down in this and distributed throughout the top and bottom of the bra. I'm assuming that's why it works for me.
If you have firmer tissue and need projection, consider going up a cup (or if you go up a band, stick with your usual cup instead of going down.

I don't have any problems with the cup separation either, which is unusual for me in plunge styles. This one doesn't taper off as much to the sides as I've experienced with many other plunges.
If you need straight, up front cups with little separation, but want a plunge, this should work.
Even if your boobs appear somewhat separate like mine, watch for tissue being distributed there after being lifted if you're not too perky-I need under 1" separation, preferably wires touching.

This bra's somewhat sling cups has also been nice for my tall, shallow roots, and doesn't cut in. If you have tall roots that project out more, I'd assume you may have issues with cutting in, especially soft tissue.

I also have lower set boobs and don't have any problems with strap length with this bra. I don't normally, but I guess I just luck out with straps.
The appearance of this bra under shirts is also one of mg favorites.
Very rounded and perky looking, but not semi artificial looking like the Decos.
I personally like the Deco shape, but for those who want padded bras with a more natural look than the Deco, I find this really nice. It gives a somewhat teardrop, perky look on me.

And as mentioned, this band had very little to no stretch. The lace band is very tough, not stretchy, so consider going up a band unless you're losing weight and have extenders or something https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />

Edit: I noticed that the band rides up jusy slightly in this. Ah. Can't win.
Also, the cups pucker AND quad when scooped. I believe it's because the wires are just too wide for me in this and the actual cups have little coverage(NOT the mesh).
It's not noticeable under shirts, but it's not a perfect fit.

I'm only keeping this/ going to wear it and probably purchase a black because this model is my boyfriend's favorite, it's not major, and it's still comfortable.
For fit though, not spot on.
