If I knew nothing about bras, and I went to a bra store wanting to get fitting for a proper bra after sizing out V.S. - I probably would've thought this bra was the best thing since sliced bread! Given that it has a very rounded shape, this is probably what many women are looking for. However, now I know that I can get a more pointed shape, I prefer that.
I wanted to try Empreinte since I read Introvert's glowing review of this bra - how could I not?! I wanted to see what I was missing out on. Even when I was taking the measurements for this bra I thought to myself - wow, the underwires are so narrow, I won't fit into this - but surprise, surprise- I did! It has some very deep cups in this size - G cup. Even though I measure 32GG UK, it fits me fine.

I *can see* how this would be a popular bra in N. America and I think it's the shape (like I said before). The band is also very stretchy - I don't know (in retrospect) if this is *really* the right size for me, or if I would actually do better in a 65 band, even though I marked that it fits. I bought this from France (mesdessous.fr) for $110 cad although it retails in my city for $210 - $270 cad, depending on what store you go to. But I mailed it back today using PayPal returns.

The colour also doesn't work for me, Rose Savauge just isn't pink enough for me. (edit: It looks more pink in the picture online, imo. Maybe I should've investigated more, but I really wanted pink, and it looks more taupe on me than I would've preferred.)

The other features of this bra are okay, but like I said, I'm not sure if a better fit would be to go down a band in this. I would buy from France if you already knew what your sizes were in each style, otherwise the shipping back to France can be expensive, and I wouldn't want to risk it unless you could use a service like PayPal returns to get partially your shipping cost back.
