This bra has only the bottom half padded, the top half of the cups are lace. It's a very cute balconette bra, and a bit narrower between the cups than most bras I have.
I've found the fit to be almost perfect. On my larger side, I get no wrinkling in the bottom of the cups, and only a tiny bit on my smaller side. I get the tiniest bit of gapping at the top corners of the lace panels, near the straps and had a friend say she had the same problem, to a greater extent (which is why she didn't buy the bra). The underwires sit ... where they're supposed to, and don't dig in. I have no pinching, rubbing or chafing from this bra. I'm worried the band may be a little big on me (it's new and I'm already wearing it on the middle or tightest hooks, depending on the day).
The bra is comfortable, and seems well built, but I haven't worn it much yet. The shape I get from this is great - and it seems to minimize my bust (to the point I looked somewhat pear shaped in the mirror- and I'm definitely not!). The support from this band is good, too.
