Straps don't slip, and they don't feel like they're situated too close together or too far apart. The round metal loop in each strap cause some (very mild) irritation, but a dab of Lanacane (antichafing gel) takes care of it.
The underwire cups my breasts comfortably, and the underwires meet beautifully between my breasts and touch my sternum (no overlapping). However, there is still a tiny gap between the centre fabric panel and my chest (enough to fit 1 finger only).
Back band quite comfortable; does not ride up. Front of the bra does not ride up either.
The cups are lightly padded and fit beautifully (no ... wrinkles or gaping).
The fabric is gorgeously soft. Overall, great fit - loads better than my 34B - but the gap under that centre panel bugs me.
[Update after 3 weeks: After conscientious swooping and scooping, I think my breasts may have gone up a cup size. The cups on this bra are a bit too small now - the underwires under my arms sit just in front of the breast tissue (I checked by working out where my breast tissue ended, and marking it with a pen; it matches up to the outside edge of the underwires now). This bra is still very comfortable though; no cutting in, poking, etc.
I suspect the back band might also be too large for me - I wear it on the second set of hooks now (either it has stretched, or I wasn't as good at judging bra fit when I first bought it as I though I was). Compare with my Pour Moi Jacquard Strapless Bra in 30D.]
[Update after 1 month, March 2013: Definitely too big in the band (and a bit small in the cup). Given it to my mum, who used to wear 36A, but recently got fitted at Bravissimo as a 32C. It
fits her perfectlyhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.]
