This bra looked a lot plainer in real life than in pictures, and I was actually quite pleased by it. I don't really like super flashy stuff.
This almost worked for me, but not quite. I got gaping at the top of the cups, and after thinking about it I decided that yeah, the cups were too big. The wires were right, though, so I wasn't too sure about sizing down. In any case, for whatever reason, this bra wasn't eligible for Amazon's exchange program, and the 28D was twice what I paid for the 28DD, so I just returned it.
The band was good. The straps were either ... ok or too wide. The cups didn't quite work for me, and yanking the straps (and therefore the cups) to the side made the cups sit ok, but the straps were too wide. In any case, the cup was squished at one of the seams on the right, and I just didn't fill the cup enough to correct it.
This was the third balconette I tried, and it seems to point to what the others did too: that I need to size down in the cups because the apex of my breasts are just too low for these. Ironically, this also means that I'm not as shallow on the bottom, but my breasts remain wide, shallow, and tall, so who knows what'll work for my boobs.

I just got a ritzy, too! It came on Friday, and yes, it's great for us in-between ears, isn't it? PlU.S. if you're FOT it has space, and if you're FOB it provides lift.
