For starters, the band seems to run a little big in this (not a full size, though.) Although to be more accurate, it's not that the band is very much too big (although I did find myself hooking it on the middle and tightest hook) but that it's not very stretchy - I would much prefer it measure waaay shorter unstretched and just stretch a lot.
The shape of this bra is absolutely wrong for me. It's pretty shallow and has quite wide underwires. I look as though I need to size up in it, but I think a G would gape, and instead I just need something with ... narrower underwires and more projection.
The material is nice, not too thick and comfortable (nothing like a moulded cup bra for keeping your boobs from noticing there's anything on them) and the upper edge doesn't show too badly through shirts like some moulded bras.
As far as full on top vs full on bottom style goes, I think it falls about in the middle - it would probably gape on someone very full on bottom, but it curves in enough that it would cut in on someone who's very full on top.
In shape, it's actually very much like a Victoria's Secret type moulded cup bra. The straps are not as wideset as in most unpadded bras in lines like Curvy Kate and Freya. I thought I would like this but it ended up bothering me due to armpit spillage (but the cup depth had a lot to do with that too.)
I would definitely recommend those bras for those who need wider underwires, though.
