This is more like a baby longline- not quite a full-fledged longline, but definitely more than a regular bra band. The band extends past the bottom of the cups, but only by a little bit. There is tall boning on the sides. It has three hooks. Three! Quite unusual in this size range.
The band was very firm. I did like it, even if I felt that it covered too much. Very supportive, but there's a reason I don't go for longlines. I'd say it runs small a size. Initially, anyway. It may be more true to size once it relaxes some.
The cups were wide and shallow and ... quite open on top. It did fit me quite well, but, well. The cups were not evenly constructed. There seems to be a bit more fabric on the right cup than on the left, and the top of the cups did not have the same sort of shape. It was probably exacerbated by the fact that my right breast is a bit wider and shallower, but there was a decent gap on the right but not on the left. The edge elastic on the cup wasn't firmly anchored to the lace (or the other way around) and the lace often edged on top of the elastic. It just looked like poor construction and poor quality.
I couldn't photograph the uneven cups satisfactorily, even with me wearing it. It wasn't something that could be expressed with measurements. The top edges of the cups were just uneven and asymmetrical.
This is going back.

Did the band sit so low on the back naturally or is it because the band is too large for you? It looks like it has the potential to be a decent fit if the band was firm and sitting in a straight line horizontally around your torso.
