I wear this bra on the tightest setting, and the 32d fits as well as the construction will allow. This bra is very soft and comfortable... But as with all non-wired bras (and even plunge wired bras) my breast tissue migrates to the middle and starts falling out, even if I scoop and swoop. I find myself having to do that every 30 minutes or so if I want them to stay put. Maybe I need double sided tape.
I mostly wear this bra on days I'm not doing anything more than sitting around the house. The hunt for a wirefree bra continues.
This bra isn't too bad fit-wise, but several minor issues together make it a no-go. First off the bra just isn't quite shallow enough for me, but the quad-boobing is extremely minor and absolutely unnoticeable under shirts. The wires are wider on this bra, which gives me a slightly wider and less projected silhouette. Lastly, while the wires seem long enough, something happens in the cut of the bra from the underarm to where it meets the strap -- which creates a large bulge in my armpit that cannot be scoop and swooped or otherwise encouraged to move.
This is Gap's Garden Lace variety of the Favorite Uplift bra. I was initially hesitant about this one -- the color, "peach energy" is essentially neon salmon with hot pink straps. (Not my colors.) But the longer I sit around with this bra on, the more I like it. The padding is very thin (relatively speaking) as it's about a 1/2" at its thickest point. Plus the padded area is only the bottom quarter of the cup, and it tapers smoothly into the rest of the cup. Having only recently found out my true bra size, I've lived in poorly fitting push-ups ...for about a decade. And I had become accustomed to the shape those bras gave me under clothes. This bra gives me that shape I'm so accustomed to, but in a much better fit! This bra has some interesting details, which I will include photos of. There's a tiny v cut into the top of the gore, which creates a rather pleasing line along the edge of the cups. The front of the straps are doubled, and are looped around a ring in the back where it meets the adjustable portion of the strap. This bra works well under t-shirts. There is a vertical seam in the lace at the front of the cup, but it is not visible under 90% of my t-shirts. It may also soften up/ become less visible after washing, so we'll see.

Technically this bra fits me perfectly - the band stays in place and the cups encapsulate my breasts entirely. However I decided to size down in the cup to a 32C. The tops of the cups roll slightly outward, which creates visible lines under t-shirts. I don't have this problem in the 32C (I think because the little bit of quadboob it gives me creates a smoother silhouette). This would be a great bra for daily wear.
I really like the shape of this bra, but it seems to be a cup size too big for me. The biggest fit issue I have is some gaping at the top of the cups. I like the lace on this bra, though it's very thin and the band does not seem to have a lot of substance.
Wires too wide so gap btwn where breast tissue starts and wire; can't fill bottom of cup so another gap between breast crease and wire. Cups too far apart even though my breasts are wideset. Too shallow: I get a little quadboob after s&s. Band stretches too much and wires stretch too much when wearing. Best for shallow, wide breasts that are wideset.
