First off: my breasts are very wide and very shallow. Finding a strapless that works with my shape has been impossible, and unfortunately this bra is no better than any others.
The band on this is *incredibly* tight. My ribcage is 29", and I can barely fasten the bra. There's very little give, so breathing is a bit difficult. For the small amount of time I wore it, the bra did seem like it would stretch out a bit pretty quickly...but it still wouldn't be stretchy if/when it stretches out.
While the cups are lined, it is a very thin lining. The cups seem flimsy ... to me, especially for a strapless. Even though the cups are flimsy, they definitely cut into my breast at the top. While disappointing, this is pretty par for the course for me and strapless bras. I do think this bra would work very well for someone who isn't extremely shallow but still needs some open-ness at the top of the cup.
I want to say this is a very pretty bra, but all I can think of when I look at and feel the detailing is Dryer Sheet. Seriously, the "lace" that covers the cups just looks like a dryer sheet. From more than a few feel away, though, the bra looks very pretty. The detailing on the gore (a ribbon "laces up" the cups like a corset) is a nice touch.
