Band runs firm: I normally can't wear a 32 on the loosest hooks, but this one has been happily sitting on the loosest hooks without shifting ever since I bought it. Three hooks in the band is also a nice feature.
Cups run wide and a little shallow (which could possibly be contributing to my impression that the band runs firm?). Technically I need a smaller cup width with a touch more projection, but soft tissue means I have relatively biddable breasts so can wear this shape comfortably enough. Although by 3/4 of the way through the day the whole bra has inevitably tipped forward, pushing the underwires into my ribs, as my boobs lose their temper and demand more space up front.
The lace is not stretch lace, and nor is it particularly strong lace. The cups therefore give a very natural shape: some lift and a touch of rounding.
