The cups are super hard even for a moulded bra. Its almost as though it was meant to be armour.
The wires were a nightmare. My skin became so bruised and painful from the gore.

This bra fits without any gaps. Once you're in it, you're in it! No moving or shifting so you don't have to re-adjust or pull it down later on. The only fit issue I could mention would be slightly less comfortable with underwire digging in to the body tissue at the sides, when laying down but that happens in all bras to me. This is not what I would call a 'soft' or unlined bra, those flimsy kinds are not my preference, this is great and doesn't show through a top. It has really lasted well, as for the design, it is beautiful. I have always hand washed it and the lace has not pulled or come off despite months of wear. I know bras should be discarded after so long so I have bought this exact same bra again.

The shape of the underwires is so perfect for me. The gore is just right. The only thing is that the actual wires are very thick and stiff. So if your looking for a bra with super thick and stiff underwires, this is the bra for you. The cups measure larger than my breast size, but for some reason they feel like they fit great? I think I might have some wrinkling on the sides of my breast toward my armpits, so maybe that's where the extra fabric is going? It just makes it look like part of the design of the bra so it doesn't bother me.
I wish I could try this bra in a 30D, but they don't make that size.
This bra is not owned any more

This bra looks very sexy, but the band is sooo stretchy as you can see.
I wore it years ago and I found it comfortable, sadly it went too small in the cups. Straps are not full adjustable.

The wires on Ultimo bras are very very stiff, to the point of being unbendable! So I can see why they bothered you so much.
Ultimo for a long time was the only brand I could buy in-store and I remember their padded bras being almost cardboard like.
