Really like the look of this bra. The paillettes on the side are firmly attached. They could be a little itchy when putting one, but once it's in place, you won't feel it. There're silicone bands along the back of the wings (both top and bottom side), making it easier to stay in place.
The bra doesn't fit me very well though.

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).

This bra is very pretty, but for me the straps are just too skinny and I feel like my boobs might pop out. Otherwise, it's pretty comfortable for a balconet bra.

I love it. Very soft materials, and the underwires are perfect for my body. No silly padding to try and bulk things up, but molded enough to give a shape to those of us with shallow, pointy boobs. The band is nice and stretchy, so you might want to order a size down if you are used to snug bands. Also, I find that the straps are set slightly too far to the sides of the cups, which can sometimes fold the cup oddly, or rub under my arm. But that is a pretty minor problem. The only other thing is that I would prefer the underwires to come up all the way to the top of the cups, instead of stopping an inch down.
But this bra is supremely comfortable, and gives me a better shape than I have ever gotten before, so I can't exactly complain. I would recommend it to somebody else for sure.

This bra is awesome and cute. It actually stays up quite well on me for a 32 band. I like how it looks like a bandeau under certain tops but still offers an actual cup and padding/underwire. I'm not constantly pulling at it, which is impressive.

It's a nice, cute bra. Looks like a bandeau from the side with scalloped rose lace but still offers support and lift. Underwire doesn't go up as high or wide on the sides as I need for my breast type. Padding is soft foam. Comes in small variety of colors and patterns as it is still a relatively new bra.

I have wide, shallow breasts that are conical in shape, and I am fairly muscular.

I recently found a friend who can alter bras. She altered my B.tempt'd By Wacoal B.wow'd Push Up Bra (958187) from a loose 30D to a proper 28DD (I forgot how much of a difference that makes). This opened up a world of possibility to me.

Given my experiences, I'm surprised I walked into VS at all, let alone try on some bras. But this one was on sale, so I figured why not. Imagine my surprise when it ended up fitting surprisingly well.

The cups are very comfortable. They ... are wide enough for me, and are generally a good fit. There is a push-up pad in the bottom; I'd normally call it a large push-up pad if this were any other brand, but I know VS has some bras with larger ones. I'm realizing that my breasts are shaped so that they fit into American bras with push-up pads surprisingly well. There's a smooth curve across the top of the cup, it doesn't cut in or gap.

The band is really flimsy. It's very thin, and stretches quite a bit. However, it's a bit on the tight side for a 32 band. I'd say it's somewhere between a 30 and 32. The straps are kinda goofy, they're split all the way (you'll have to see the pictures when I get them up), but they're fully adjustable. The straps are perhaps just a smidgeon too wide, but I know that'll be fixed when I get the band shortened.

This is the most comfortable bra in Victoria's Secret. Looks good under shirts and you can wear it all day long without a problem.

This is a very luxurious bra. It gives your breast a little lift while decorating them exquisitely. The lace that runs across the front of the bra is my favorite feature. I'm so sad to have grow out of this one!

Bought this many because it looked sexy with matching panty girdle. Padding is too thick and does not produce much of a rounded profile. You can see this on the pix.
