I ordered this gorgeous bra from Kohl's. First off, let me say the band runs a full size small on this brand, so order up. I sister-sized down in the cup and it is just about right. It's a padded plunge and has the option to cross the back straps into a racer back. The cups are light beige and the black stretch lace is thin enough to be virtually invisible under thin clothes. The cups are fairly shallow, but give the appearance of projection because of the 1" thick tapered padding. There is a decent amount of center projection and the cups give a beautiful ... rounded shape. The front straps are attached to the cups by the lace overlay, which extends above the cups by 3.5", and are set fairly close to a vertical line above the apex. I can't imagine these straps falling off narrow shoulders, even without converting it to racer back. The cup design keeps everything front and center, but I didn't get the feeling I would fall out.

There are two issues that prevent this from being a 'perfect' fit (haha, pun intended):
#1: the cups are very open, and caused gaping under the lace portion above the cups. Yet, that lace overlay maintains a smooth even tension, does not pucker, and disguises the openness so that it is barely visible, even without a top on. In that sense, it is very forgiving. Honestly, this would be an amazing bra for someone FoT or high set!
#2: there is a narrow band of elastic along the top edge of the cups that caused quadding ONLY after I did the Swoop&Scoop. But then things settled into place after a few minutes and the quadding disappeared. This bra is one of those rare breeds that fits me better without the Swoop&Scoop.

Bottom line: an elegant, sexy bra, perfect for low necklines, and that Special Occasion dress.
