Though this doesn't fit me anymore after losing 10-15 lbs (I'm now a UK 30H), I'm reviewing it as it was when I bought it several years ago. It was my first properly-fitting bra purchase.
Band: Wide and comfortable and closes with 3 hooks. It did stretch out a bit, because I was wearing it almost daily, but this is a good-quality, supportive bra.
Cups: The cups have a 5-part design that keeps the same shape over the day - natural-looking, not pointy but not extremely round either. The seams are a bit visible under clothing, though. I could never fill the cup completely on my smaller side, so there ... was a bit of wrinkling, but it being a full-cup design with centrally-placed straps kept everything in place. Kind of broad and east-west, but at that point I didn't care and just wanted something comfortable.
Straps: I have small shoulders, and the straps were very comfortable and thick and stayed in place. I wish all bras had straps like this, sexy or not sexy. I'm not a huge fan of all the balconettes with the widely set straps.
Underwires: Reeeeeally wide underwires that practically wrap around to the back. I would say my breast roots are moderate to wide, but these were way too wide for me, I just didn't realize it. They were still comfortable, though.
Design: Not the sexiest bra, though the top cup section being sheer is cute. I like the little unobtrusive bows at the gore and the base of the straps, and the satiny magenta colour I have is beautiful. It doesn't look great under formal wear or anything super tight, but it does the job as an everyday bay.
Overall: It probably says something that this bra is now two sizes too large and I still on occasion wear it out in public, even though I probably shouldn't. It's so dependable and comfortable and makes me feel secure.
