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 unless you have a very narrow root. The new lacy models feel like they have a looser back band, but I think the cups still do run narrow.
The Harper has the perfect amount of padding for me. It's got a little bump at the bottom, but is not extreme or fake looking. Similar to the Bridget or the pushup Paige. The gore is slightly narrower than on my Bridgets, which is great for me. Now, if only they came in 30s!
