I came across this bra deeply, deeply discountend ($20! Whaaaat!) in an absolutely stellar colorway (topaz, a nice deep turquoise, my crummy pictures don't do it justice). I said in my other review that it was a little ho-hum in terms of shape, but I think I was maybe underselling this bra a little. Sure, it's no megaboost pillowy hills of wonder, but it's definitely not part of your (grand)mother's wardrobe, either. The modesty is better than with an unlined bra (and honestly, I've given up caring much about headlights - we all have nips!) and it does shape without stiffness and has significant projection for a bra ... without seems in the cup. It's crazy comfortable, supportive, and completely invisible under a t-shirt. Very well-made, stellar quality. The lace is 'loose' on the cup, and shines when the light hits it; the bra in general is soft, lightweight and fleixble. This is a perfect everyday bra.
One consideration: though not a full-cup, and there's no wrinkling, there could be less cup on top for me. I'm unsure if a D would have been slightly better: the wires are perfect, and my larger breast needed a little readjusting, but I would have tried on a D had there been one. (I am a 65E in SP unlined styles but a D in the Caressence.) Band is tight enough for me - I've come to appreciate the support these bras give without having to be as tight as my Cleo's, say. Even a slightly loose Cleo is a horror show, my Simone Pereles just seem to move with me, even though the measurements and the stretchiness might suggest otherwise.

Topaz colorway

This is a gorgeous and comfortable bra, great fit in the cups. Smooth shape, fairly natural. Comparable to the Andora, I'd say, in terms of fit. Band is loose-ish and stretchy (but not atypically so for SP) but not uncomfortable, wide enough to feel stable. Kind of an issue: the moulding, while it gives a great fit and is smooth and soft to the touch, doesn't do much (or basically anything) in terms of modesty. Your headlights will be out there! I was looking for a different colorway (all they had in the store was dark gray/anthracite) and more modesty so did not purchase. However, if it had been on sale... maybe. I haven't had SP bras long enough to determine how bad the stretchiness is over time. (If I can wear it on the second or third hook for a while then, the band thing doesn't bother me.)
