Wire width on this is perfect for my wide-set boobs, good containment on the sides. Cups are a bit big at the top, but I can't fill out the tops of pretty much anything. I should be able to take it in near the gore to get it to lay better on top, though.

I would never have expected a bra with pre-shaped cups to fit me... but this one actually does!
In fact, it's the best-fitting bra I've ever had: bottom-heavy projection, enough separation between the cups, the distance between the straps is narrow enough for my shoulder width... LOVE IT *w*

Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between ... breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: way too big
* wings: height good
* no axillary skin spillage

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Cups:
* Cups far too big. Fabric only covers breasts (with gapping) and provides no shaping.
* Wires wide enough (SO RARE).

Straps:
* too far apart, slip
* adjust short enough

Comfort & Fit Summary
* I tried this bra because it is recommended for side support and center pull straps. I should have looked at the pictures first because they are NOT center-pull straps. I can't speak to side support since the band & cups were way too big.
* I chose this size based off a measurements search here on bratabase. I used my _leaning_ horizontal perimeter to predict cup depth and that was a bad idea. Laying horizontal perimeter is a better predictor (or somewhere between the two measurements).
* I don't know what I was thinking when ordering a 36 band. The measurements table shows it would be far too big for my rib cage and it is right.
* Ordered a 36E (same band, one cup larger) at the same time (reviewed separately) -- so I didn't just click the wrong size. Who knows what I was thinking!
* Consider trying a 32DD, but I suspect the cups will be far too narrow (and Fantasie wires are stiff).

This bra looks good quality and a simple beige colour. The cup is made of four parts, the bottom three parts being a slightly stretchy fabric, and the lace is not stretchy. The band is also made of one layer of thick jersey. The straps are fully adjustable, and they have a design on top. The straps also continue on the band in the back.
Since the bra is not in my size range, I cannot judge the fit, but the cups seem to be quite deep.

Great smooth cup, full (and I mean full) coverage bra. This bra is invisible under clothes. Towards the end of the day, I do feel a little bit of "poking" in my sternum area, as well as some chaffing under my armpit, but that may be that I need to tighten the band to the middle hook. The Rebecca is a classic.

This bra fits me nearly perfectly. The gore lies flat and the straps are very comfortable. My cleavage looks great - nice separation but nicely enclosed.
