This is a very pretty black satin/embroidered mesh bra that I would dearly love to wear.
In a technical sense, it fits, though the wires are too soft for the gore to tack completely. In a subjective sense, it is immediately and intensely uncomfortable, because it is just the wrong shape for my body. (A similar-sized friend loves it, though.)

Fit/Measurements: This is labeled as a plunge, but has a comparatively high center gore and fits me like a balcony bra. The band runs rather tight - I'm moving to 34 bands in Cleo/Panache, and I could barely fasten this 36 band. The wires are wide, soft, and feel ... very long. The actual length is similar to my 36J Cleos, but the positioning puts the wire just short of poking me. As far as I can tell, this bra has a lot of depth at the center wire, but not as much at the bottom of the cup.
I seem to need a lot of immediate depth all over, and I think the bra is trying to migrate downward, causing back and neck pain.

Appearance/Materials: This is a pretty, ornate bra with transparent mesh upper cups and lined lower cups. On me, the upper cup comes down far enough to show the nipple through the mesh. The cup lining and wings are made of black satin, similar to swim fabric. It is very soft and feels much nicer than my mesh Cleos.
The outer cup fabric is mesh, embroidered with curlicues. There's more embroidery up the front of the straps (only half-adjustable). Each strap attachment point has a tiny satin rose stitched over it. There's also a rather large bow and another satin rose at the center front. Visually, this is is a very busy bra, but the monochrome design keeps it from being overpowering.

Verdict: Lovely to touch, not so lovely (for me) to wear.
