I really like the design of this bra.
However, as per usual of VS, the cups are not as much too wide for me, as too far apart (making them appear too wide).
This causes a few problems:
-Quadding/falling out in center. Not a lot, but it's there.
-Wires ending way outside my IMF. This is typical of any bra, since I'm tuberous, but whereas bras like Comexim, EM, and Cleo come super close, this is just pretty far off.
-Having padding near my armpit which makes it look like my tissue is under my arms since this is padded.
Not as bad as my 32DD Strappy Butterfly print bra, but that's because that was a larger size and wayyy more padded.
-Gaping on the top corners of the bra.
While the depth isn't too deep for me whatsoever, the distance of the cups olaces them so that they hit a spot on my chest where I have NO tissue, which makes them gape at the upper corners.

Other than that, I like this bra. It's very comfortable, and VS is sneakily making their bands tighter but not changing the band numbers. I've had this experience with a Body By Victoria 32DD, a new babydoll and bra in 32D from the same fabric that they're currently selling as well. Idk the name, but it's light pink, black, and white lace. Very pretty. It was definitely a 27" band on a "32". Not only that but the fabric wasn't stretchy at all. I would've had to size up to a 34. Pretty crazy for VS IMO.

This one is tighter, and it has a split in the fabric so that looks a little weird on me, because it's almost a longline and my skin is softer as you move down my ribcage.
I'm going to measure when I have a chance, but I'd place it at a 30-31" band.

Overall, I like this, I just wish, as usual, the cups were closer.


Edit:

Between the cup distance and the cup height/gaping at the sides, I have to sell this. :/ Not happy about it. I did discover that the straps are convertible, so perhaps criss-crossing them would help with the gaping, but, blah. I feel bad because I love the band on this so much, but it's just not right for me. The only VS bras that really work for me are the Dream Angels bras, normally, and some unlined ones.

Maybe when I learn how to sew I'll make a cool band like this, that will fit 28" too.
