I didn't intend to like this bra this much, but I do like it a lot. The band is really comfy yet snug despite being a 30 on my 26-inch ribcage; the regular elastic at the bottom of the band is supported by a wide band of more-stretchy elastic, so it feels really supportive. Somehow, the underwires never lift from my ribcage, even when I sit up straight and push my shoulders down and back, which usually guaranteed wire slippage in even the tightest of bras (it is currently a mystery why this happens). I really appreciate the boning in the side and the hard underwires. The fabric ... quality is so-so, which I expect from Asos; there aren't any defects per se but the middle straps are unadjustable and the fabric, though soft, just feels slightly cheap. The hardware is tackygold-colored but not too tacky. All in all it's still very cute.

The cups have a lot of lift for something with one horizontal seam (though my breasts are self-supporting, so it's not like they had to do much work) and only cut in a tiny bit. They're not very projected at the apex, which is excellent for me, and the cups have some stretch to them. The unnecessary straps in the middle are really cute and actually lay flat most of the time, a marvel for unadjustable straps. (The actual straps are half-adjustable.) The wire width is also perfectly for me, although the cup coverage and wing height on the side are a bit low, which is probably due to some recent growth on my part, so I should probably be getting a 30D next time.
