I have had surgical correction of Pectus Excavatum and still have a mild indentation remaining, so I am a uniquely difficult torso to fit. Gores almost never sit flat and this bra was no exception. The wires seemed wide enough, but still sat a little below my breast tissue, maybe because the gore is a tad bit too wide for my wide root, shallow breasts. As long as I don't scoop and swoop, I can get away with it, though. Even though this bra is slightly off in several ways for my shape and by those measurements, it's not a good fit, it is pliable enough that it ... conforms to me with no gapping and creates a smooth silhouette. And it's super soft! The band is unexpectedly short for a 30, although I have not worn it to see if it stretches out over time. The fabric is very delicate and for $68 retail, I would worry that it won't last long enough to be worth the money. For example, the shoulder strap is sewn only to the top elastic of the back band, not all the way to the bottom, so over time, the pressure may rip the lace (although that lace does feel pretty sturdy). The bra is well made out of quality materials, they just seem to be delicate quality materials. I will be returning this bra due to price (not fit!), but I used it as a pattern to remake the band of one of my existing bras.
Pros: soft and pliable enough to accommodate breasts that don't quite fit perfectly, but still look smooth, pretty, feminine and delicate, very comfortable, no escaping when I lean over or twist.
Cons: pricey for a not-so-sturdy bra
