This is a higher quality M&S bra. I can feel it in the fabric and the way that it is stitched together. However, my only complaint that the bra itself is labelled as a "28DD" but I think it fits closer to a 26FF/28F because I can't really seem to fill it out at all, and I'm wearing 28E's now for the most part. (I generally need cups around 8 inches of depth, this one measures approximately 8.3 {updated without the wires}). I think it would work best for someone who is narrow, as my breasts are slightly wide.
I like the Satin/Silky fabric; ... it is very comfortable and the cups are lined nicely. I also really like vertical seams that are suppose to lift the breast and on the side, you can see part of a sling being sewn from the strap, but probably hidden internally in the cups.
The band is also very firm. It is typical of M&S to have very tight bands.
As with most balconettes, the center gore is a bit too tall for my boobs and is a bit painful there, but I think it would work better for someone who could really fill this bra out.

Hmmm, I see what you mean about this one appearing to be too big. The cups are tall and far apart (wide gore). They are also relatively flat in shape, and you get gapping because your breast tissue pushes the cup away from your body. Also I bet if you tried this on backward (with the cups on your back) you would find the band feels a lot looser. Try it an let me know!
