I really wanted to love this bra but it just wasn't right for my chest. The bra seems well constructed and it has some cute touches (mesh side panels, embroidery below/around the cups and on the straps, bows on the top of the cups/ on the gore, and scalloped thread edges) but in my opinion still looks a bit like a "granny" bra (at least in "champagne").
The underwire on the bra is really firm, and a little too narrow for my relatively wide-set chest. Because of how firm the underwire/ embroidered panel is, the band almost felt too small under my arms (where it was compressing my sideboob) ... even though I could easily fit a whole hand under the band in the back. (To be clear I think it's a true 30 band, I'm just still figuring out my size). The apex (most pointed part?) of the bra is also relatively centered so with my chest shape the edges of the cups by the gore gapped/wrinkled ever so slightly. This bra is definitely less shallow than a lot of other molded foam bras but still not enough immediate projection for my shape.
Even with the fit issues, this is a pretty comfortable bra if you don't mind firm underwire. The straps are soft, relatively thick, and felt really supportive. The foam is flexible enough that it moves with your tissue, but it is thin enough that I can see my nipples. If you try on this bra and the fit of the gore is a little off, check to make sure the underwire is in the right place. There's maybe 1cm (3/8ths inch) of empty space in each underwire channel, so you can slide the underwire up or down in the center gore.
