Band: I've seen this bra band being described as fairly stretchy, but mine is most definitely not. Super stretchy bands I can wear a 28 in (my ribcage is 29), but this one is a fairly firm. When measuring the stretched band, I barely made it to the 30" mark, and that was pushing it. I got a bra extender for this and hope that in the long run I will actually get more use out of it since it isn't so crazy stretchy.
Cups: I have shallow breasts and this cup fits them great. I did have to go up a cup size (usually a 30D) to get rid of some minor quad boob. The boutique I bought this bra from said it was common for her customers to go up a cup size on this one.
Appearance: I have the black version for a wardrobe staple. The lace isn't readily apparent under snug shirts.
Overall, I am very happy with this bra and would recommend it for other shallow breasted gals.
