COMFORT: This bra is sooooo soft and comfy! The material is very smooth and satiny against the skin.
The band is perfect on the tightest hook (not sure if that is due to this bra running loose in the band, or if it is because it is pre-owned and may have been broken in already). It is stretchy, but I'm finding that I actually prefer a stretchy band, as long as it can be tightened enough.
The wires are very wide, and they actually extend an inch or so beyond my where my breast tissue ends- but somehow in this model it doesn't bother me or dig into my armpits or sternum at all. The gore tacks.
The straps are not too far apart! I think wearing the proper band size makes a huge difference for me and my narrower shoulders. (If the band size is larger, the straps will be farther apart- I had this problem with a 32H.)
LOOK: This is a sexy bra. It gives my bottom-heavy breasts a lovely Marie Antoinette style cleavage. Shape is lifted, rounded, and front-and-center.
As many have mentioned, the ruffles will show under clothing if the material of your top is thinner or stretchier. However, I got around this problem by layering a cami over it.
The one con is that for some reason, this style makes it obvious that my right boob is slightly smaller (something I had never even noticed before) unless I am very, very fastidious about my swooping, scooping, and bra positioning.
