Close but not quite right for me. I am FOB, close-set, slightly splayed, and either shallow or just tall-rooted. Either way, I have some immediate bottom projection. In many ways, Lucy is a better match for me than most of what I've tried, but still unwearable as-is.
The pros: I've finally found a bra with both enough bottom projection, and minimal gaping at the top of the cups. Still some slight wrinkling at the top of the cups, but going down a cup size was definitely too small all around. I can live with it. The bra brings breast tissue in towards the center and gives a ... really nice, natural rounded shape under a shirt. I'm used to wearing padded cups, but I didn't miss them (I was a little worried I'd look smaller, but it's not an issue).
The cons: The wires are slightly too narrow for me, sitting directly on my inframammary fold. The gore is too wide as well, and sits rather high, resulting in some irritation over the course of the day. I'm hoping I can make some modifications to resolve the problem. Less of an issue, the straps are a bit too wide, and they're just barely long enough- I have to loosen them as far as they'll go.
Since the bra was relatively inexpensive I'm going to keep it, and attempt some minor adjustments as I've yet to find a bra that accommodates all of my fit issues.
