I bought this in the AW12 colour which is black/ivory.
The bra is very gorgeous. It is well made and looks luxurious to me. From other reviews on Delphi bras I have read, I found out that the straps are foam padded, however, mine aren't. It feels like it's a piece of satin folded two to three times before getting sewed. It does not affect the comfort for me. The wide straps are very very comfortable. Some might not like the wide straps but for me, this is the exact reason I lust for this bra in the first place.
As for the fit, the cups fits perfectly on my ... 28G boobs. While I crumble on the bottom of my 28G Rhea, I didn't in this one. I got Marie Antoinette cleavage, which I love. Since halfcups are perfect on my FOT boobs, this is a winner. One thing I noticed though, is the construction of the bra different for GG+ cups? I saw two vertical seams on 28H, but for mine, there's only one vertical seams.
The band is a typical of Masquerade bras. It is not stretchy at all. I find that I need to use an extender and hook it on the last hook of the extender to be comfortable. My underbust is 27" and this bra stretches to 27.5", but because I like super snug band, this is perfect for me. Other who doesn't like uber tight bands might want to consider sizing a band up and go down a cup from your usual size -> sister sizing.
The shape it gives is similar to Rhea and the embroidery doesn't show under clothing, unless the top is thin. All in all, I'm so glad I finally get this bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
