Beautiful. Raspberry red, not firetruck. Didn't come in 32GG so I went with 34G. You can take something in if it's too big, not much you can do if it's too small. Waistband hits 2" below my waist. Body is not super loose but offers no shaping. Cups fit but no cleavage. Very separate and contained. Useless without the straps unless you're boobs are self supporting. Bottom of cup buckles once I remove the straps. Wires aren't as wide as I feared, comfortable even if not ideal. Zipper is tricky. Bow on waistband will show through slim dresses. Overall not terrible. Husband is already drooling over it. Will probably replace the plastic boning with steel. Wish I could move the waistband but there's so much stitching holding it on I'd probably damage the fabric just getting it off.

After the first part of your description, I was surprised to read your husband is still drooling over it. I guess he really likes this type of garment, eh? Well, lucky for you, right? And do let us know how the boning transplant goes. I loathe plastic boning. It should always be steel, I say.
