Comfortable, very supportive, no nonsense bra. Too big for me since I lost weight, otherwise it would have been a keeper. Only worn for about 2 months, hand washed, non smoker

For the record, the tag says 36FF, not H.
I needed a longline for under my wedding dress (I don't have the time or patience to sew a new corset before then), and this was in my budget, pretty, and the closest I could get to a proper size. This bra is serviceable. There's some quadboob, and the gore doesn't tack, but you won't notice under my dress, and I'm sure not going braless. I'm also in the process of altering it so the neckline is lower. For anyone wondering, the bones are flat steel, not plastic. A good sign, except that they aren't fully encased in some ... areas and will probably poke through the lace.
Fit: go up a band if you care to breathe, it will still be *plenty* tight. Cups are large I'd say. A brand comparison chart at herroom.com puts this cup at a UK F, which I'm far from but still manage to make work.
Value: decent if you pay full price ($50), great if you snag it on eBay/amazon/somewhere else for less than $30.
Quality: pretty good, if I weren't already taking it apart to alter I'd still reinforce the area where the bones meet the bottom of the underwire.
Comfort: it's a longline, so don't expect to be doing cartwheels, but it's not bad. Easily worn all day, but break it in a little first if it's for something important like a wedding.

For this bra to fit I would need bigger cups, narrower wires, and a tighter band. On the tightest hook immediately I still feel like it's not secure enough. I'm quadboobing out of it. It's not so obvious standing up, but if I sit down or lean the slightest bit over; definitely quadboobs. There's elastic on the edge of the cup that makes it even more obvious. The material especially in the back band is scratchy. I'd like the wires to be more narrow. On the plus side, although the wing height is 5", the wire does not fill the channel under my arms, so no poking there. Stretchy, thin wires stretch to 10" wide! Ugh. The side panel inside the cup is absolutely useless as it's on my side and too flimsy.
