I have wide, shallow breasts that are conical in shape, and I am fairly muscular.
I recently found a friend who can alter bras. She altered my B.tempt'd By Wacoal B.wow'd Push Up Bra (958187) from a loose 30D to a proper 28DD (I forgot how much of a difference that makes). This opened up a world of possibility to me.
Given my experiences, I'm surprised I walked into VS at all, let alone try on some bras. But this one was on sale, so I figured why not. Imagine my surprise when it ended up fitting surprisingly well.
The cups are very comfortable. They ... are wide enough for me, and are generally a good fit. There is a push-up pad in the bottom; I'd normally call it a large push-up pad if this were any other brand, but I know VS has some bras with larger ones. I'm realizing that my breasts are shaped so that they fit into American bras with push-up pads surprisingly well. There's a smooth curve across the top of the cup, it doesn't cut in or gap.
The band is really flimsy. It's very thin, and stretches quite a bit. However, it's a bit on the tight side for a 32 band. I'd say it's somewhere between a 30 and 32. The straps are kinda goofy, they're split all the way (you'll have to see the pictures when I get them up), but they're fully adjustable. The straps are perhaps just a smidgeon too wide, but I know that'll be fixed when I get the band shortened.

I have wide, shallow breasts that are conical in shape, and I am fairly muscular.
This is my fourth Mimi Holliday Padded Super Plunge. The first three were all from 2012 (one in 30D and two in 28DD), and this one is from SS 2013. Unfortunately, they've made some changes between 2012 and 2013, and it no longer fits me as well as it used to. Here's a summary of the changes:
-The straps are a bit thicker/wider
-The straps have a better slider thingy so that it's much less prone to slipping and becoming longer throughout the day
-The cups are a bit wider
-The straps are farther apart
-The ... cups are a bit deeper
Except for the straps being farther apart than they used to be, I understand why they made these changes - it'll fit better for the average person. It just fits worse for me. And none of these are radical changes, but they're definitely enough to make me reconsider buying one again. I'm thinking that it might fit better in 28D now, but it's simply too expensive of a bra to experiment with.
Other than the changes, it's still a beautiful, comfortable bra. I'd never pay full price for one (and never have), but if you can find it for half off or less, I would still recommend it for someone who is shallow (but not too shallow) and has wider shoulders.
And here's my standard warning for all Mimi Holliday bras: you MUST hand wash them! Do not let these bras go into the washer, or heaven forbid, the dryer. If you do, the band will lose all elasticity ridiculously quick.

I have shallow, moderately wide breasts that are conical and slightly tubular. I am athletic/muscular.
This review is an update to my previous review. I had tried this on in 30D and could barely fasten it at all, it was so tight. I returned it and got it in 32C, which fits pretty darn well (I normally wear a 28DD).
Even on the 32 band, the band is on the tight side for me. It's definitely very inelastic. I've never had a bra with a band this unstretchy before, and it's a very different experience. On the one hand, it's nice to never have to adjust it throughout the day. ... On the other hand, I can't inhale deeply.
I'm kinda torn on this bra. First off, it fits me very well, and is moderately comfortable. But I will say that it looks kind of odd on me. It doesn't really give me a shape that I am a huge fan of (though it's not horrible). I like that the lace is thin enough that this can work as a t-shirt bra. I also like that it's very forgiving of shallow breasts - no quad boob in sight! It's not exactly my shade of skin (it's a little too pink), but is close enough that I can use it as a nude-colored bra.
The cup feels very cheap. There's a very inelegant dart running vertically, and creates the illusion of a nipple going on there. It's also a cheap, stiff foam.
The underwire is a bit taller in the armpit than I'm used to, and it goes up a little higher, too. That, combined with a very tight band, definitely emphasizes the outer edge of my breast. This works for me, because it happens to perfectly line up with my pecs and my tail of spence. I could see it being weird for other people, though, especially if they've got very wide breasts.

I had mentioned in my review of the 30D that the bottom of the cup is very shallow. Wearing my proper size, I can say that it's definitely shallow, but not too shallow for me. I fill out the bottom of the cup very nicely. The cups are moderately wide, but not extraordinarily so.
I agree with the other reviewer here - this bra feels cheap. It's very soft, but it doesn't exactly reek of quality. The dart on mine creates the illusion of a prominent nipple, something I don't usually have to worry about.
Overall, I definitely recommend this bra for someone who has very shallow breasts and is moderately wide in shape. In addition, I highly recommend this for someone with a very small ribcage. Just make sure to sister size up one or two sizes.
