In a nut shell: the band is loose; the cups are small; the outer wires are painful.

The band: stretchy double layer mesh with soft boning under the arms; pretty little circles detail next to the boning; flocked elastic edges. (I could easily wear a 30" if it were available. I could hook this on the tightest hooks right from the start.)
The cups: nude color memory foam wit delicate eyelash lace overlay. Two seamed darts (that don't show) from the bottom wire stop below midpoint. The eyelash lace edge extends from the gore to 2.5" above the cups along the straps; creates a pretty triangle ... effect. Cups are narrow and shallow. (I quadded above the gore even without the Swoop & Scoop, and my short roots left a bit of empty space under the lace.) I suspect it's better suited for even to FoT, and 1-2 finger's spread.
The wires: stiff; hold their shape when stretched; cut in under the arms (painfully).
The gore: wide and tall (for me); snug on the breastbone but its' width sat uncomfortably on breast tissue (ironically more so on my smaller side).
The straps: narrow and very stretchy. Don't count on much support from them (which is fine as long as the band fits well...which in this case doesn't).
The color: "Calypso Blue" is their fancy name for pale mint blue. Over the nude cups, it makes for a fresh romantic look.
The comfort: I found the eyelash lace to be a bit scratchy, as well as the stitching around the hooks. (They didn't use a soft thread; probably polyester instead of cotton). And of course, those stiff wires...ouch!
