First of all, this bra is listed as being Forest Green with Gold lace. The actual colors are Teal with Ecru lace. It's a very pretty color combination.
The cups are a very soft tricot on the inside, and just a very thin layer of traditional foam padding throughout. The stretch satin on the outside feels like it could snag easily on jewelry if you're not careful. The contour cups give a nice rounded profile. Very comfortable! The band is Very snug, and has not loosened up with several months of wear. The straps have a flocking on the underneath side, but the edges felt a little ... rough at first. Not exactly scratchy, but enough to notice when putting it on. That has softened with washing. The placement of the front straps are closer inline with the apex of the cups, which I suspect helps minimize gaping, if you're prone to that. The straps in the back are attached ballet-style, so even someone with narrow shoulders shouldn't have a problem with them slipping. Even though the gore is 1" wide, it is low enough not to interfere with close-set breasts, and yet still high enough to give nice support and the cups have a decent amount of center projection. The wings of the bra are tall enough to prevent side spillage, along with the cups being fairly wide. So not really an issue with underarm tissue not getting into the cups.

This particular bra was made in Thailand.

For reference, I am 5'1" tall, average weight, functionally FoB, short but average-width rooted and projected, and I have since purchased several of these in different colors. Only the red one was smaller in the band. The others have all been very consistent.

Gorgeous! I fell in love with beautiful lace design and shiny, satin-y cups, and bought it without worrying about how it's going to fit. Now my measured size is US 30G, but Wacoal didn't have that size so I sister sized up to 32DDD. The band is still very comfortable and snug. Definitely not as tight as most 30 bras, but this band may run a smidge small. The cups are surprisingly deep for a molded bra and have a very spherical shape. I have a little bit of gapping at the top, so someone who is FOT or tall-rooted might like it too. For reference, my own shape is rounded, slightly narrow, average projection w/ immediate projection, close-set. Overall I love this bra, and I wouldn't mind getting another in the future!

I've purchased several of Wacoal's Lace Affair in various colors and was excited when I saw this Light Blue color (which I hadn't seen available in the US). It's a beautiful shade of blue...darker than "Baby Blue" but lighter than "Cornflower".
I have consistently been very happy with the height & width of the gore of the Lace Affair style. Its' shape fits my shape exactly.
When I've gone up a cupsize for those times of fluctuations I have found the cups/wires (and consequently the straps) get wider rather than the cups getting deeper, proportion wise. So in that sense it's not an ideal bra, since I need more projection rather than width.
Overall, their quality is spot on and their sizing is usually very consistent (with the exception of the Red, which the band was so short I needed an extender).

I have purchased several of these bras in various colors, and I find there are slight variations between them (but not enough to change sizes). So far the "Tango Red" colorway has had the shortest band (so I'm using an extender on that one until the elastic relaxes).
On this particular "Blue Sapphire/Sphinx" the cups quad in the center ever so slightly; but because of the stretch cups it's not uncomfortable. The gore sits securely against my sternum and the top of it sits perfectly just below my center fullness. I have tried the 32G (in another color) to fix the quadding issue, but they only made the wire wider and not the cup deeper, which is what I really need.
Overall, this style is a very comfortable bra and on most days is my go-to bra of choice.
