I tried a lot of unpadded bras at Change and I noticed that their cup sizes run quite small. I'm usually a 30F in Panache. In terms of cup volume, this is the size where I don't get a double boob, although the wires are a bit wide for me. I found the band quite similar to my other 30F's that fit me.
The cups are double layered, with a mesh interior and lace exterior, and the layers are put together so that the seams are hidden on the inside. Unlike other bras I've tried, the mesh has a little bit of give. Also ... unlike other bras, this one only has two panels on the cups. Because of that, and also because the wires are a bit too wide, I think it'll hurts the support level a little bit. It's probably fine for the office, or a date, but I wouldn't really run around in it. Too be honest, I didn't really notice that the wires were too wide as the cups hug really nicely around the breasts.
In terms of looks, it's prettier when I'm wearing it. The lace is covered in roses and the colour is grey (labelled Moonrock on the label), and I almost didn't buy it, but after trying it on I noticed that it complements my skin tone nicely (I'm fair skinned). It also gives a nice rounded shape as well.
Update: Wore it for the day. Does not give as much support as my other bras. I probably won't be wearing this one too often.

30F and 30H are 4 cup sizes apart. I don't get how this compares to one much smaller. Does that company really make bras 4 sizes too small? Also vertical seams are very supportive, if not more than traditional 2 seamed-3 section cups (depending on breast shape though), because the seam is not on the bias.
(This is something I do when measuring bras on here: flip the cup inside out, put it over your knee but without stretching, then measure where you would normally at the tops of each underwire end with the tape curving around your knee but in as straight a line from each end as possible. Can you get back to me with the cup depth? Interested to see if this gets better results for others as well =) )
