As far as I'm concerned...this bra fits me. It's the same style as the Pasty so the fit is the same (except for the center gore, on this one it is narrower by 0.25" ). The fabric is softer, like a microfiber feel (the shorts bottoms are super comfy!!), the band doesn't feel as scratchy against the skin.

Pros:
Padded enough to moderately conceal but not thick that it adds to size.
Vertical seams offering better support in the cup.
Soft fabric, has a t-shirt bra ... feel though the seams will show through very fitted tops.
Lace detail isn't too heavy but will also show through tighter tops.
Band is true to size - completely stretched is just about 30" so this will fit a 29-30" ribcage appropriately.
Wideset straps (oddly enough, not too wide, they manage to stay in place) and lowcut neckline, perfect for scoopneck shirts.

Cons:
Cups run smaller than the plunge version because they're shallower and shorter. I had to size up (as I did for the Patsy).
For me, this is big in the band. Unstretched it's only a half inch bigger than my frame so I will be taking this in to a 28.


*ETA*
You can see the band riding up in the side shots, it's dropping the cups a little so it looks like they're too big on me. An E would have given quad-boob. Once I take this in a few inches it should fit better. I'm thinking about making it to a size 27 instead of 26 or 28.

Update 7/12/12-
Altered to a size 26! The measurements are now 22.5" unstretched, 26.5" stretched. While it fits a lot better, there is discomfort because it's so firm. And not the kind you'd expect from a smaller band.

This fits perfect now, though I'm still leaving it as not fitting as that will mess up the recs for me, and others too.
