This bra has a high cotton content (says 65% on the label), which should help to cool you off in the summer time. I actually think this bra is quite pretty. The cups are made of two layers, the mesh layer, and the cotton layer. The cotton layer has decorative holes with embroidered edging which I think looks really nice. The tops of the cups also have a nice trim. The bra is more of a balconnette style, so if you're full at the top or full at the bottom, this could work for either shape.
The band is made of a ... t-shirt type material and feels very soft. Because of that, I'm not really confident that the band will last a long time, even though the elastic feels quite firm when I'm wearing it. The band actually fit great when I tried it on.
The main problem I had with the bra was that the cups were too narrow for me. It dug a lot into the middle of my chest. Also, because of the all the holes and embroidery, I can't think of anything I have that I can wear the bra under; it's just too bumpy.
One last note. I ordered this in colour Honey which is not a nude, so it will show up under white shirts.

I read through your other reviews and I think this bra would be great for you if you somehow could get your hands on it in your real size 28/30 F/FF.
Also, have you tried the padded halfcups by Lepel/Audelle or bras by Masquerade (=Harlequin in the US?)
