What I like most about this bra is the way it looks. I bought the lemon and black coloured one and the yellow colour is really muted. I also love the lace and ribbon on the tops of the cups.
Fit wise, it's ok. For some reason I get some gaping at the top of the cup on my bigger breast, but on the other side it sits fine, otherwise the cups fit great. One thing to note is that the cups themselves are a little itchy, I don't know if washing them will change that so I will update once I do so.
Generally, I ... think I prefer unpadded bras (when I say this bra is padded, I mean the cups are made of foam. This is not a push up bra).
The band itself is a bit stretchy, but not too stretchy. When I stretch the band while I'm wearing it, it doesn't stretch too too far. I probably could go down a band size, but I'm not sure if a 28 would be too small. I generally prefer a tighter band anyway so your mileage may vary.
One last thing I'd like to mention is wearability of this bra. As much as I like the frills, I have maybe one shirt I can wear it under. I think this bra would work best with shirts that don't have any stretch in them like a button down cotton shirt, otherwise the bumpy lace will show.
So, overall, this bra is super cute, but in my opinion has limited wearability.
Update: I haven't worn this bra much, therefore I haven't washed it that much either. So to update, it's still a bit itchy.

The wires pressing into your ribcage is in general not about the bra being the wrong size or style, but because the ribcage not being flat but the bra wires are. Try to bend the tip of the wires outwards to match the curve of your ribcage better. That should relieve the pressure and make the bra a lot more comfortable.
