LeMystere, you've done your homework on this one! You've restored my faith that it's possible to have cups that are both Projected AND Seamless!!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />)) Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this one!

* Narrow-ish wires (5.8" wide) with projected seamless cups (10.75" deep). YAY!!!
* Thin, adaptable 3-way stretch spacer-foam cups: provide a natural rounded shape, with just a bit of minimizer appearance (aka good support, but not a lot of lift). The spacer cups are thin enough to see light through them, but opaque when wearing. A great bra for hot summer days. "Headlights" WILL be noticable, if that's ... an issue for you...although less likely to be a problem in the summer anyway. It's also a great bra for traveling; the cups don't wrinkle!
* Even though the height of the cups (8") would normally be too tall for me, there's no quadding or gaping. YAY!
* The inner mesh sling has the same 3-way stretch as the cups, so there's no funny looking bulges where the mesh ends.
* The U-shaped wires are quite firm and definitely provide most of the support. I admit they're a little bit long, but they tuck into my IMF right where they belong, so they're actually quite comfortable.
* The 1.25" gore is a bit wide on me, but it sits low enough to stay out of the way. Cup depth at the gore is better than most that are this width, and for me is "acceptable". None-the-less, I wish the gore was narrower and had more center depth. (It definitely Won't be a great fit if you need a LOT of center fullness.)
* The tall band is very comfortable, with double layer microfiber, encased elastic with a ballet back. Its' Rose Gold hardware is a pretty complement to the "Shell" color, which almost looks translucent, but it's not. (Very pale peach/very pale apricot; almost like a pale beige with a hint of pink).
* The fully adjustable (but not convertible) center-pull straps are 5/8" wide, with flocking next to the skin. They don't slide down my sloping shoulders; and no rubbing into my armpits. YAY!

For reference, I'm somewhat FoT (but functionally FoB because of settling & age), very close-set, projected, average width with short-ish roots, and a short torso with wide Lats and sloping shoulders.
If this sounds like you, I think you'll love this one! I'll be buying more, for sure!
