My opinion has been changed! I tried both the Harper (padded) and the Hailey (foam lined) in 32AA when they first came out, and hated them. Turns out both aerie memory foam styles run very small/narrow in the cup. With the original styles (bold colors and ultra smooth fabric), I would absolutely recommend sizing up in the cup. Probably the back band too, as my 32A Hailey feels wonderfully like a 30B. The new lacy models feel like they have a looser back band, but I think the cups still do run narrow.

The Hailey is a nice foam lined bra. I love the unique center gore. The underwire ... doesn't make a "u" shape in the middle, separating the breasts; they meet at the gore pretty much parallel to the band, and there is a little bow to mark the spot! It is similar to my La Senza Show Off cradle bra. This shape of underwire works really well for me, I think it must be very forgiving of different breast widths. Now if only they would come in 30s!
