I bought this bra in a 30D but the band only streches out to ~26 inches. Great for those with smaller bands. I used an extender but it still felt a bit too thight.
The cup was OK, works decently for my shallow breasts.
I will return this and maybe order another in 34B.

I have shallow, moderately wide breasts that are conical and slightly tubular. I am athletic/muscular.
This review is an update to my previous review. I had tried this on in 30D and could barely fasten it at all, it was so tight. I returned it and got it in 32C, which fits pretty darn well (I normally wear a 28DD).
Even on the 32 band, the band is on the tight side for me. It's definitely very inelastic. I've never had a bra with a band this unstretchy before, and it's a very different experience. On the one hand, it's nice to never have to adjust it throughout the day. ... On the other hand, I can't inhale deeply.
I'm kinda torn on this bra. First off, it fits me very well, and is moderately comfortable. But I will say that it looks kind of odd on me. It doesn't really give me a shape that I am a huge fan of (though it's not horrible). I like that the lace is thin enough that this can work as a t-shirt bra. I also like that it's very forgiving of shallow breasts - no quad boob in sight! It's not exactly my shade of skin (it's a little too pink), but is close enough that I can use it as a nude-colored bra.
The cup feels very cheap. There's a very inelegant dart running vertically, and creates the illusion of a nipple going on there. It's also a cheap, stiff foam.
The underwire is a bit taller in the armpit than I'm used to, and it goes up a little higher, too. That, combined with a very tight band, definitely emphasizes the outer edge of my breast. This works for me, because it happens to perfectly line up with my pecs and my tail of spence. I could see it being weird for other people, though, especially if they've got very wide breasts.

I ordered this bra along with the Asos Boudoir Corded Lace Underwired Bra (359584), and that one is a better fit for me. I have small, shallow breasts, almost always have issues with having too little projection and often find the top edge of the cup cuts in.
Pros:
+ I think this bra is good for less-projected boobs. I could pretty much fill out the cup. I was just a tiny bit short, but it was not noticeable due to the thin foam lining.
+ The bottom half is lightly lined with a thin, lightweight foam. It's similar in thickness to some of my molded bras, but ... it is much less dense. Good for not showing through, helps make empty space less noticeable. It's soft enough that I think over time it will just get smooshed to your shape.
+ Lace top made it impossible to get chop-boob
To note:
= Band size! I agree that the sizing is off. I measured this 30B at 28.5" stretched. I also ordered this bra in a 32A, which measures 31.5" stretched. Not the best for online ordering, but GREAT for those looking for smaller bands. The band is made of mesh, so it feels pretty stretchy.
= The underwire is a more pronounced, deeper U-shape than I am used to, and really curves up and seemed to squish me in at the armpit. I think this is probably to increase cleavage. It wasn't uncomfortable, but I am not used to such a narrow feeling or looking wire.
Cons:
- Not impressed with the quality. The foam lining of the cup feels like it won't stay fluffy for long. And the cup darts! Ugh! The seams stick out and are really obvious. They look pointy on me.
- I personally don't get a good looking shape with this bra under a shirt. It is very narrow and stick-out-y compared to my natural shape.

Like the 30D - Asos Boudoir ยป Corded Lace Underwired Bra (359584) , this has an incredibly tight band. Seriously. It's a 30D, and the /stretched/ measurement is 26.5". So that's good news for smaller bands! Even though it doesn't come in a 28 band, those who would prefer a 26 band should give this bra a try. I think I'm going to return it and try a 32C.
This bra is very delicate, there's not a lot of substance to it. The band is a light mesh, and the lace on the cups is very flimsy. I hate that there's only one hook per column.
It's too tight to say for sure, but I think this is a shallow-friendly bra. I couldn't quite scoop and swoop properly.
