This bra... I am really struggling to describe it. In itself is not that bad.
The material and band are made out of average quality materials like they are frequently used in "big cup brands" that go up to UK-F cup. The seams are straight and clean, there is cotton lining in the lower half of the cup, the lace feels nice to the touch (not scratchy), the straps are padded and there are metal adjusters.
I think it would be nicely supportive on somebody in 80G (36F UK). On somebody in 95J (42G UK) it is an utter failure.
To me it is clear from the construction ... that the people who designed it have no real clue how heavy boobs in really large sizes are.
The first flaw is the stretchy material of the cup. While a stretchy, lacy upper cup can be great (see Panache Andorra Fullcup), an almost equally stretchy lower cup out of satiny material is not a good idea for larger busts.
The second, even bigger flaw are the wires. They are a joke and about as supportive as jell-o. They are little more than thin wire and they bend under the weight of the boobs they are supposed to support.
In addition the cup is quite shallow near the gore, much shallower than boobs in these sizes usually are. In combination with the soft wires it prevents the gore from tacking, despite the volume being correct.
