There's a lot to like about this bra and it is almost perfect, except for one (to me) major design flaw: the cups are spread much too far apart.
Yes, the gore is wide, but it's low, so it doesn't interfere by sitting on breast tissue. But the distance between the apexes of the cups is a full 8.5". Normally for this size I would expect around 7.5" (maybe 8", at the most). I have soft tissue, so I can adjust somewhat, with 7.5" being my limit, so 8.5" is just too far apart for me.
Now for the details:
* Both the bands and the cups run small. I had ... previously ordered my normal size (at that time it was 32DDD), so I made my best guess and ordered the 34DDD. Now, the band feels wonderful, and the cups fit remarkably well, with one BIG exception; that is, the distance between the cups is a full inch to 1.5" too wide, spreading the girls east/west, creating a minimized profile. It caused my T-shirt to pull across the middle in a most unflattering way.
* The cups are lined mirofiber, thin but enough coverage to prevent show-through. The shape is a combination of rounded and natural. It didn't feel like it gave enough support, since the cups would buckle along the wire on me, even with the straps properly adjusted, so maybe I would need the next cup size up.
* The wires aren't unusually wide and the cups have pretty good projection, with a wide, but low gore. The top is not very full, but it's full coverage and doesn't cut into the top roots.
* The band is incredibly comfortable (assuming you have the correct size, considering that it runs small) and minimises back fat.
* The straps are wonderfully soft. Much softer than most other Wacoal bras I've tried.
