As opposed to most people, I actually like this bra; however, I may be a bit sentimental, since it was the first bra I bought that fit properly without needing major alterations since I sized out of normal US cup sizes at the age of 14.
I don't fill out the tops of the cups (I'm pretty even on fullness, but my boobs are low on my chest), but otherwise it fits me very well (this size fit me much better when I was 20 pounds heavier, and isn't my correct size anymore, but I still wear it anyway), and the fabric is thin--in fact it doesn't really gape, ... just sits flat with a single dart-like wrinkle, which doesn't show under clothing. The wires aren't uncomfortable for me at the sides; the gore is a little higher than ideal (but still isn't uncomfortable). The straps adjust well, they're firm yet comfortable. The band starts out very firm but loosens up after a couple months of wear (I have 4 of these, of varying ages).
Other people mention that it tends to send the girls east and west, but I honestly didn't notice until I read other people's comments on this bra--without a bra mine pretty much go east and west, so having them do so in a bra doesn't feel unnatural to me.
I must point out that although I don't normally machine wash bras, one of these found its way into the washing machine once, and (probably because they're huge) the wire on that one immediately came loose from the casing and started poking me in the chest, so I wouldn't recommend machine washing.
Overall, I just really wish this bra was cuter. When I bought my first one several years ago I was really happy to have something that fit properly, but I'm getting tired of this style.
