This bra is kind of funky on me. When I got it it was a bit big in the cups for me but I kept it because I liked it. Of course I didn't wear it so what was the point. Recently my boobs have seemed a bit bigger and it fits better, but there's still some odd stuff going on.
The wires are very firm on this bra and as a result a bit stabby at the gore. It might break in but it's really too soon to tell. However, the gore is the perfect width for my boobs, and the wire width is good too. The cups ... give a very forward projected shape and are slightly on the pointing side. It's still a rounded shape but it's not the hemispherical foam dome look. This bra would give a nice smooth shape if it weren't for the poorly engineered transition between the padded bottom of the cup and the stretch lace upper. The padding is thicker than I think it should be, at least at the edge and the way the lace is stitched on makes the top of the foam curl out creating a very obvious ridge. It shows through pretty much all clothing including some sweaters although it's fairly passable with a patterned top. I whip stitched along the edge to pull it down a bit which helped, but it's still a problem. The lace upper is weird for me too, likely because I lack fullness right above the nipple. This causes it to slouch/bunch into the padding a bit but it generally isn't noticeable under clothing. The rest of the lace is fine, I might end up taking some of it in along that seam to give a better look.
It comes up pretty high at the front of my armpits which is fine if I'm sitting or standing with awesome posture but annoying if I slouch or have to reach forward a lot.
I'd say it's still wearable, but it's not going to be a first choice.
