I really, really wanted this bra to work out for me. Unfortunately it was just way too big. The band was stretchier than I'm used to, but what ended up being the deal breaker for me was that the cups were easily 2 sizes too big for me -- despite my wearing 36FF/G (UK) in unlined Cleos. I actually tested this, and found I was able to fit a pair of ankle-length socks in each cup and it still didn't quadboob.

Ah well. Things I loved, though:

-The construction. It seemed very sturdy, yet the material used for the band was super soft. Very comfy! I also loved ... that the straps weren't too thin, and that it had 3 hooks instead of the normal 2.

-The design. I'm one of those people who crave simple basic designs -- plain black, grey, dark blue maybe. Despite that, I admire what they did with this bra: a very pretty, intricate floral design on a red backdrop, BUT trimmed with grey edging and detail. It sounds like an odd color combination but it works, and I loved that this meant my straps -- all grey -- wouldn't stand out if they ended up showing a bit under my typically black/grey/blue tops. I wish more manufacturers did this! Have your colorful designs, but make the visible areas of the bra not be so insanely loud as to clash with every top you wear if they happen to peek through.

As for fit, the only other thing I can really say (besides that it was too big for me) is that the cups seemed rather tall, and a huge chunk of my empty cup space was due to that. I'm not even full-on-bottom; my best-fitting bras so far have been bras meant for very even fullness (Meg, Lily). It also technically did not have enough immediate projection at the bottom of the cup for me; there was some slight bending-in of the cups going on. But I have yet to find a bra that doesn't have this problem for me.

Finally, yes, the cup width (underwires) runs narrow. I have an extremely narrow root so this would have been fine for me, but keep it in mind if you're more average or wide rooted.

Band fit was a bit looser than I would like, cup was HUGE. Seems well constructed and very pretty.

The materials for this bra seemed pretty stretchy. The band, the straps.... The underwires are really stable though. This bra is good for someone who has a narrow root. I'd say this bra was almost too narrow for me. If I were to order again, I'd definitely go down in the band size.
