I ordered this one after the Paramour, but somehow received it before.

First of all, the beautiful aqua colour is amazing. I can't describe how pretty this colour is. All the photos I've seen don't do it justice.

The band runs true to size, maybe a teensy bit large but the bra has three rows of three hooks so it's not a big issue for me.

The three part cups are very full coverage, with the bottom being lined with stronger, non-stretchy mesh. The shape they give is nothing to talk about, more east-west than front and center, but they are extremely comfortable. I was worried it will not have the ... depth for me but I didn't need to worry as it definitely does. The satin trims of the cups do have some elasticity, however they cut into my tissue. Honestly, it's just a recurring issue, I don't even think it's the bras' fault anymore. If a bra has a hard edge, it will cut in.
Now, I don't know if this is a common issue with this bra or if I just received a defective item (that's ebay for you), but some of the mesh seems to have broken off from the edge of the cup (only left side, the right is perfectly good). I'm worried it will give more and be completely unusable if it does and I cannot figure out a way to salvage it. I've contacted the seller about it.

The gore tacks perfectly. I seem to never have issues with the gores, so I don't know how useful this information is.

The wires are narrow and firm bliss. They encapsulate my breasts perfectly, and I can barely even feel them. I can see these wires being an issue for shorter or high-set women though. They are very long.

Again, I'm not impressed by the shape. The cups barely have any lift. But the bra is extremely comfy and the mesh is beautiful and I definitely see myself wearing it a lot. I think I might have unintentionally found myself a lounge bra.

edit: a couple of points. I see some other girls have a three-part cup. Mine is a three-part too. I see most have two-part cup, though. Not sure why this discrepancy but it's worth noting.

Update: After wearing this bra as a lounge bra I can say a few more things other than first impressions.
1. The wire on the right side actually pokes into my breast tissue and at times it can get sore. I think the reason it happens on one side only is because my breasts actually need different wires due to being so asymmetrical.
2. The satin trim around the wires can get pretty uncomfortable, and sometimes it even feels like it's (rather annoyingly) sitting on my ribs. When I check to see if it slid out of my imf, it doesn't look like it did. The wire channels are really rigid and bulky, is all.
3. The satin trim at the top of the cups will not stay in place. It slides down cause I guess it has nothing to hold on with (no elastic, no silicone strips) and then it will cut into my soft tissue. It will also bunch up cause it's not filled.

Those are just some of my observations after wearing it for a bit. Nothing save for having to adjust the right side wire really bothers me that much. It is still a very comfortable bra.

(I have narrow, close set, center full breasts with soft tissue, and I'm currently breastfeeding.)

This is an unusual bra. The cups have slight stretch at the bottom (double layer fishnet/smooth mesh), and quite a bit of stretch at the top (single layer fishnet mesh). The shaping is very gentle, without much centering or uplift, and more natural than round. I wouldn't call it pointy per se, but it is far from the globular shape that's currently popular. This bra does less than most to hide headlights or jello jiggle. The band feels looser than the measurements would suggest, but I don't think it's too loose. (I'm probably a ... 30 band size but sometimes size up to 32 for comfort.) The mesh is very minimalist, great for hot summers or any time you don't want to soak in boob sweat. Overall this bra is kind of like a bralette, except underwire.

I like the concept of this bra a lot, but the fit is a little off on me. The wires are not terribly wide, but the cups feel wide. I tend to get wrinkling at the sides of the cups, and the wires don't want to sit in my IMF. When my boobs are fuller, I still don't fill the sides of the cups, I get quadding in the middle instead. I also noticed when taking pictures that the outer edge of the wire looks like it's poking me.

However, I find this bra comfortable. The fit issues don't bother me from a sensory perspective when I'm wearing it. Not sure how to explain that one since usually I'm kind of a fit diva!
