Victoria's Secret has finally come out with a specific style in their Dream Angels line that is designed for projection, rather than shallow & wide. The cups are lined with very thin memory foam and covered by an all-over (Chantilly?) lace. The wires are much narrower and the cup is deeper, even at the gore. The gore is 1 inch wide, but low enough it tacks well and stays out of the way of breast tissue.
There are a few colorways available, and this particular one has a unique stretch lacy mesh scoopneck. (The scoop is low, only 2 inches above the gore.) So if it peaked out from under your shirt it would look like you are wearing a lace Cami. Because of that feature, the straps are only partially adjustable. (In my opinion its a fair trade-off for such a pretty look.) The straps are sufficiently long enough for my low-set, functionally FoB shape.
I find the scoopneck lace actually helps support all the way through the cup, since it's supporting the cups throughout, from the top of the cups up to the top of the shoulders (not just at the single point of where normal straps attach). No gaping whatsoever...and it even seems to smooth out whatever tendency there may be for gaping (within reason, of course!).
The band is double layer lace & mesh, and feels true to size. Most of the support on this beauty is definitely coming from the band. Although if I could, I would have made the wings just a bit taller (personal preference).
I must have found this one at the end of the season, because I got an awesome deal on it. Originally a $62.50 bra... I paid $20! But it fits... and it's comfortable... and it's cute, and that's most important of all. What more could you ask?
