This was my first bra that was close to a good fit.
The boutique didn't have any 28 bands at all, so they put me in what they considered a snug 30.
This bra is incredibly well made in my opinion. At first I thought it was very matronly, since I had been wearing the wrong size for so long and was not entirely used to the wires being where they are supposed to and the gore going where it was supposed to. I was so used to a giant band with narrow cups that didn't fill out correctly, with a hollow under my bust, and was taken ... aback that this was how a bra was supposed to fit.
I have been wearing this bra consistently for about 3 years. This has been my "go to" daily bra since I couldn't find any retailers that had 28 bands until recently.
I am disappointed that they don't make it anymore, considering it is a very high quality bra. I have gotten 3 years of use out of it and haven't even gotten to the last hooks yet, it still looks new, and the bra doesn't look cheap or old yet even. It is definitely still in rotation for me and one of my "sophisticated" bras.
If they could find it, I would recommend it to a friend.

https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> such a pretty bra, but like all balcony / balconettes I've tried, it's a catastrophe if I wear it. I get either extra room at the point of the cup, or some bizarro-land orange-in-a-glass thing - it's really like someone tried to put oranges in a ziplock bag with a weird mountain range crest line... anyway, it doesn't fit me.

The comfort (fit issues aside) is great, the fabric is high quality and the lace feels sturdy. The detailing is impeccable and beautiful and luxurious. The band fits without any weirdness to the stretch - doesn't create bulges or have tight 'edges'. The cups just don't work for me... like, at all. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
