This bralette is good for short-waisted/high-set bodies. The wings are low and don't bite my lymph nodes: for this, I'm intensely grateful. It seems a tall underwired literally bruised my milk ducts recently. This is unpleasant. Harrah for short wings. However, the straps are fully adjustable, and I have them adjusted to 75% as short as can be adjusted. So, low-set/tall bodies may appreciate these features. If you need, tall wings to hold your tissue, this bralette will be a source of frustration and/or a complete disappointment. Sigh.
Compared to Halo, this bra is not as soft. New, the lace is a bit scratchy. Knowing what I do about ... mass produced lingerie, I anticipate it will soften after a few washes. For comfort, I prefer Halo. However, for support, this microfiber-wrapped band provides significantly more support than Halo's stretch lace band. Halo, somehow, provides slightly better support for center fullness. However, neither of these bras are good choices for center-full breasts. We all will reverse swoop and scoop to fit; viable, but not ideal.
The profile is natural and rounded. And, the texture is acceptable to me under a thin dark knit. Again, there is no nipple armor to protect me from branches and thorns in the garden. But, I desperately need COOL wireless options for our blistering summer heat.

Like you, I first purchased the 32. Oops. This 38 fit me better, but the band was too long.
