I bought this for an experiment. I was going to take the band in and see how a 3DM worked for me in a sort of 65F equivalent. When it came time to butcher the band, I lost my nerve. I stitched through the elastic instead and that turned out really really well. There's little to no stretch to the band and that works great for me.
I also bend the ends of the wires towards each other to add some depth to the 3DMs. Otherwise, they're too shallow for me.
So everything on this is really comfortable and the experiment worked to my advantage. It currently blends with my skin tone really well so the black is in stark contrast and it just looks cool.
The straps are comfortable and aren't super stretchy and the band is really silky soft.

The underwear are a size 36 (38" wide hip/31" hipbone). The size is really good and they're really cute. Also soft and silky since they're made of the band material. So they aren't transparent at all. They are a bit high-waisted for my taste (either low or all the way up, not a fan of belly button grazers) but they are cute and comfortable all the same.

  Oooh this set is so cute! :) Looks great on you. Sort of like a parfait charlotte but better.

• Thank you!
  I'm so glad you pointed out the similarity to Charlotte. I've always like the look of that bra, but never bit. The shallowness of it would crush my ladies.

• I was so sad about how shallow charlotte was because I love the classy retro color block look. I may need this set. It probably doesn't come in the right size for me, but I love it.
  

• You could get the right cup depth and fiddle with the band, worked for me!

• Hmmm.. I might have to try. That is a good idea. I'm terrible at sewing though, I don't know if I'd have the nerve to try on something so expensive.

  I'm not very good at it myself. I didn't cut anything, just put a straight stitch through the length of the bottom elastic to keep it from stretching. It's completely reversible.
