This review is for the @Empreinte Cassiopee Underwired Seamless Bra in the Opaline colorway in 32E UK. My ABTF size is currently 30FF but at the time I bought this it was 32FF.

Band:
* Seemed a little more stretchy than I expected. Since buying it my band size has reduced a bit so it's hard to say if it's truly loose or I just need a new size. Has 3 hooks by 3 columns.

Wires:
* Narrow, thank goodness for me!

Cups:
* Seamless. Gives a natural rounded shape (not cakes on a plate).

Straps:
* The straps are fully adjustable and sit nicely.

Fabric:
* This has a gorgeous embroidery pattern with iridescent thread. I bought ... it at the holidays and it does sparkle!

Hardware:
* The hardware is matching and it has tiny matching bows where the straps meet the cups.

About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow roots, very projected at the wire, full on bottom, short roots, soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.

FIT

* The band is more forgiving than I'm used to and that might be what's making this so comfortable with my rib flares.
* The wires are wonderfully narrow at this size.
* The gore tacks well for me.
* The cups are great for my short roots, full on bottom.
* The straps are plenty long enough and fully adjustable. This might be considered a center pull because it does not cut into my TOS.
* The sides are a comfortable height for me.

OVERALL IMPRESSION
* I love it so much that I bought 2 more in other styles! It's the first bra that doesn't hurt my rib flares. This is a pricey bra so if you can get it on sale that's ideal. But since I've tried on many dozens (maybe hundreds) of bras and this is the first that I can wear comfortably all day, it's worth it for me.
