I like this bra, but the biggest thing I'd change is to make the wings a little taller. Even 1/4-1/2 inch taller would be a major plus. I prefer tall wings and underwire.
Oh well, I'll probably keep it still, it is very smooth under clothing. Seams are smooth. It's a nice summer bra because the cups are two layers of fine, non-stretch mesh. It is very supportive.

This is quite a pretty and comfortable bra. It almost gives me a bullet shape, but it's not super noticeable. The fabric and seams are smoothe. Although I do not quite fill the very top of the cup all the way, the fine mesh lace lies flat under tops which is what is important. I am fuller on bottom and inner breast than top - this bra might work a bit better for more balanced fullness. If you have very shallow on bottom, inner or top this will definitely have fit issues.
I like that the wires are wide - good for wide roots.
The band measures large. I have it hooked on the tightest hook. I will be altering the band next time my sewing machine is out.

Nice bra. I wish the wings and band we're taller but that's ok. Wires fit wide enough for my slightly wide roots, without then being too deep at the apex.
The cup fabric is not scratchy, but it is firm, seams are strong. This may become more "floppy" with wash/wear.
If you have breasts low set on the rib cage, the straps might not be long enough. I could extend them maybe 2 more inches, but with most bras I have much more room to extend the straps, so these are shorter than average.

If you're shallow on top you might not be able to fill the top of the cups. Likewise, if you're empty/shallow on the bottom you may not be able to fill the bottom of the cup.
I had some wrinkling and emptiness on the top inner section of the cup. I altered it by taking in between 1/8 and 1/4in of fabric along the top seam of the cup (between top section and bottom sections).
The band is a bit looser than expected. I think I could've sized down to a 28E.
I may try the gem half cup for a better fit.

I bought this at a bra store where they'd altered the band to a size 30, but the customer never came to get the bra. So on the tag it's a 32D, but essentially, they altered it to a 30DD.
I LOVE this bra. It's so comfortable and supportive. It's definitely a full coverage cup, so it contains well when bending/stooping etc at work as a nurse or home (small kids and livestock). The wires are a bit wider than some D or DD cups, which is nice for wider roots. I'm hoping to find something very similar with a slightly lower cup because this might be too high for some scoop neck tanks in the summer.

I like this bra. It does run a cup size small. I could definitely wear a 30E instead of DD in this bra. My tissue is very soft so the quadding on the bigger breast doesn't show through shirts, and I don't feel pinched by the wires. This bra cup top is "open". If you're very shallow on top it might not work. I'm full on bottom, but the tissue has nowhere to go but up, so it easily fills the top. Bottom of these cups is very shallow.

I will be returning - pointy shape and cup doesn't have enough projection at the bottom.
I usually have a great fit with Wacoal bras, but not this one.
Cups are made with some stretchy material overall, it has a firm stretch....like an expensive bathing suit.

I like the cut and shape of this bra, but the cup is 2 layers and the outer layer shifts and wrinkles while the inner layer is smooth against breast tissue. I'm hoping it's just because it was wrinkled when I got it. Maybe things will smooth out.

This bra has a secure, snug fit. My only wish is a little more lift (doesn't have much Lift) and nipple coverage.

This is a nice bra. The seams are very smooth and the fabric is thin but not stretchy. It has very pretty/delicate coloring, and does not show through tshirts.
I feel like it might be somewhere between a D and DD cup because a D cup usually cuts into side breast tissue for me, but this does not.
If I had firmer upper breast tissue, this would be making the slightest quadding on my larger breast, but my smaller side fills this out very well, which is a struggle in some DD cups.
In a DD cup, I'd definitely need to alter the smaller side so it would fit properly.
***Update*** after wearing a few times, I noticed this bra cuts into tissue on the side of he breast, near the armpit. The wires are not tall enough in the side, and also slightly too narrow. Too bad, as I really like how it fits elsewhere.
