The cups are a little small for me, but it was on sale and I wanted to try it. At first I thought that the cups ran a little big, then I thought maybe they were just on the wide side, but oddly, they actually fit much better now and ideally I'd go up a cup size. The gore is nice and low and very sturdy. The band is very stretchy, and in fact it stretches pretty noticeably after a few hours of wear, but the wires are very hard, and as the band stretches, the wires start to rotate and push on my ribs. But this happens ... with looser bands, too, so I don't think going up in the band would solve this issue. (Starting to think there's a rib flare issue.) Still, I'm pretty pleasantly surprised with this bra, considering I bought it on a whim for $20.

At first I thought that the fabric seemed a little low-quality, but it actually feels very comfortable, supportive, and soft when worn, and the flower print and color scheme has grown on me. (You can see it through a thin shirt, though.) The straps are a little overdecorated, but not uncomfortable. They do stretch quite a bit, though. The decorative edge on the band isn't as sharp as the Fancies line, so it's more comfortable.

Overall, it's a very sturdy, comfortable bra, with surprising coverage and reasonable depth. It's serviceable as an everyday bra, but with the amount of lift I got and the really rounded shape (and cleavage) it gives, it would be nice for a special occasion, too. (It does squish my boobs somewhat and give me that side boob crease, but I've just accepted that all bras are going to do that unless I eventually try a Polish bra.) It's not a perfect shape match for me, but if I get the chance and it's the same price or less, I'll try it in a 32J.

The only thing I would caution is that while I thought I my breasts were fully in the cup and the wire was sitting in my IMF, and I was comfortable at first, after a few hours my ribs and breasts hurt, so I finally moved it down and realized that I think it had been sitting on breast tissue. I don't know if I situated it wrong or it migrated. It was more comfortable then, but obviously it fit differently and sat much lower, so while the gore was actually very nice that low, the bottoms of the cups wrinkled slightly because there wasn't enough projection at the wire for me, so my breasts couldn't sit as deeply in the cups. It's not a dealbreaker, but definitely it wouldn't be my first choice for a full coverage bra with very projected breasts.
