This bra either is the complete wrong shape for me or completely the wrong size, and I'm not certain which. I have another b.tempted bra in another model in a 32B that seems to fit in the cups but is way too large in the band. Oh my! It's a very cute bra though, and I wish I could make it work for me.

Very comfortable all day.

Measured myself as a 36E in UK sizing, so I got this in a 36DD US size and it is great so far (I wore 36B for years, never realizing that shallow does not mean small!). It took a few days to get used to the new size, but it is extremely comfortable and doesn't poke anywhere. My shape is shallow with a wide root. My only complaint is the fabric sits higher than I'm used to under the arms and at the gore, so it does peek out under some sleeveless shirts.

Now that I have gained a little weight, this bra actually fits somewhat better than it once did. In the past, filling the cups of the 30DDD was a bit of a feat. Now it is quite smooth without quad boobing and gaping.
One thing I don't appreciate is the stiffness of the underwire. The gore pokes at my sternum quite uncomfortably, and the wires squeak every time I make a move. I wore a cotton ball at the gore for months to lessen the discomfort and it still remains painful after extended wear.
The band is firm, but quite comfortable. This would be a go-to bra if it weren't for the painful gore.

This is the first bra I've ever owned that has made me feel pretty and actually almost fits. I have very tall roots that it accommodates quite well with its half-cup shape. The mesh wings are very stretchy but I'm still on the first hooks. The one thing I really hate are the straps. It's this weird satin feeling fabric split into three small straps that don't stick very well to the shoulder. I would also prefer two vertical seams in the cup as opposed to the one it has right on top of my nipple, but it's not the worst.

Pretty comfortable. A bit narrow in the wires, but the stretchy band makes up for it.

Gore: too high, too wide at the bottom
Underwire: too long? maybe too wide
Cup cut: the arm hole cut too high, causing pectorals to push them down where the pecs meet the arms. This pushes down the underwire so that it no longer sits at the inframammary fold.
Band: a little on the long side. Started out with the innermost set of hooks
Pity since it's a rather pretty bra

Another pretty bra that doesn't work. Sadness.
I'm learning that any bra with high cut sides (not necessarily the wings, but the side of the cups) doesn't work for me. It's not quite that the wires are too long and high but the arm hole of the cup is too high/wide, causing my arms to push down the underwire/cup.
The wire itself may be a little wide and flat because I also find the center gore digging into the bottom insides of my breasts. In other words, the gore is too wide not at the top but at the bottom.
The band is a little on the long side, so I'm already starting off on the second set of hooks.

Appearance: Clearly a very pretty bra. Seems fairly well-made, especially at its price point.
Band: A bit loose on the first set. I can start off on the last set, which will mean a shorter life or band alteration, neither of which are attractive options. However, this make goes down to only 30 band, I believe.
Straps: Only two spaghetti straps, which wouldn't be a problem were the band tighter. However, the band isn't as tight as I'd like to begin with. That said, the straps are place well (not too wide) and barely noticeable. I have no problem adjusting them to the desired length.
Cups: The right cup is a ... bit small for me, so everything shifts a bit to the right. Moreover, the cup isn't wide or spacious enough. I can have my breasts floating at the top where they can sit comfortably rather than be squeezed into the cup's shape. If I do try to squeeze in everything, the center gore floats quite a bit, perhaps an inch. If I put in just enough tissue for the cups, the wires sit atop my breasts all around, especially the right one.
