Runs a full cup size big. True to size band. Deep cups. Decent room at the center gore and the bottom of the cup. Wires are a narrow U-shape, rounded on the bottom, almost vertical on the sides. They are slightly soft and may flex a little wider when worn. Straps have low stretch, are fully adjustable and are slightly thicker but proportionate to the bra. Has non-poky side boning - the tips are positioned under the strap elastic so they don't bother me in the slightest. Three hook band makes for a sturdy fit and despite the vertical wire shape and full band construction the side wing ... isn't very tall.
I rated the looks as good because there are a few elements that cheapen the look. The point of interest of this bra is clearly the strappy detailing but the double layer of mesh that comprises the upper section of the cup and the center gore looks very nice in person too and makes the bra look sexier and more low cut. This might be necessary because the center gore is clearly very high and they've used embroidered applique to disguise where the thin straps attach. The same detailing is used on the sides to disguise attachment at the straps. Also, there's a smaller applique along the outer edges of the cups. Sadly these look a little bit cheap. They're removable but on closer inspection that would reveal some not so nice seaming work. I'm also not thrilled by the shiny black fabric used for the lower sections of the cup, it does look cheap. I wish they'd use the reverse because it is much less shiny and matches the band material much better, and the shiny side would be softer against the body.
