Tl; dr - very pretty, not made by Satan's elves, stretchy like Freya.
After finding out how a bra should actually fit a little over a year ago (was correctly ~32e), I shunned Victoria's Secret because we all know they're of the debbil. Well, in that year and change, I got a little body wide beer induced tissue migration, and those 34e bras that I ordered online trying to figure out my size and never got around to rehoming, that used to have too loose bands and too big cups, suddenly fit. So, one night, after squeezing myself into an old EM bra that I loved that used to ... fit, I found myself at the mall with extreme pain, mega quadboob, and a little free time.
So, that's how I came to wander into the lair of the beast. And I'm glad I did. I found this bra in the clearance boxes in the back (I hadn't even realized VS carried 34e). I tried it on, and found it to be a very nice molded bra with pretty details (although if this is a demi, I'd hate to see a full coverage). I think I found the holy grail: a VS bra with a tacking gore! At $46 off its original price, its purchase was a no-brainer, and my girls left VS much happier than they went in. I don't know how many ladies knowledgable of bra fitting can say that, and I think it was worth $16, even once the band inevitably stretches. Does a stretchy band automatically equal poor quality? I don't think Freya fans would agree with that statement.
Edit: I've now had it for 2 weeks, and while sitting, I noticed a familiar shoulder and neck pain that only means 1 thing: too loose of a band causing the straps to take too much weight. I'm out of town and I've been switcing it off with my Freya Untamed and a Maidenform, so I've never worn it 2 days in a row. In only week 2 of owning this bra, I am already on the second row of hooks. Kinda sad, because this bra is very pretty. :,(
But, that is what VS (and even high quality brands like Freya) bras are known for, so it's not like no one saw this coming. I have not experienced any of the gapping that is supposed to accompany a VS bra if one is of a mutant size that VS carries. I like this bra so much I bought 3 more, and have had no issues with stretching in the 2 weeks I've owned them (I know, not a significant amount of time).

Wow, good to know, from the website I thought VS stopped at DD!
I;ve heard VS bras are cute but they tend to wear out pretty soon, did that happen to you?
