Very comfortable and quite (comfortably!) padded. Easily the most padded bra I own. To be clear, the padding is even, no "push" up cushions on the side or bottom of the cups. The inside of the cups feels like soft and gentle cotton. The band is just too big for me, as it should be at a size or two above what fits me. Even so it seemed stretchy. the cups are fairly narrow and projected, and I think would be better for someone even or top heavy. I think the cups are TTS or a bit big, the cup is open on top an allows for a ... more flexible fit (I'm not sure how much impact a loose band had on all this) I'm not sure if I'm unlucky or if the bra was more used than it appeared, but one of the straps shredded in the washer (I know, I know. I had little choice).
Although I like this bra and would like it in my size, I haven't gotten around to altering this one. Let alone another. Unless a tight 28 comes out, I need sewing practice or a looser band, I'm about done with this model.
Rixie clip edit - Damn this is a stretchy band. I have the clip as far back as it can go, and this feels like a 28 or so. Apparently the cups are a pretty okay fit! No gaping like before, a bit of quadding on my bigger breast. The shape looks . .mildly lumpy? On top of that the satin above the lace trim tightens and cuts in a lot. Like a strapless dress with a snug or tight ribbon top cuts in. It makes the shape absolutely irredeemable, which if the top wasnt so warping, would be like an up-tilted L rounded out.
The wires are wide, but they must be soft as well. I don't feel them, even though they're almost wrapping around.
The straps, I think mainly the bow, is quite itchy. Wide set straps, but this is a sister size. The straps are in the fat just beside my armpits. Not ideal, but if the fabric wasn't irritating I wouldn't mind since this is a bandeau style. The cups and band are still really comfortable.
