I actually wear this bra a lot, despite it being not my size at all. I like the shape/feel of the cups; it's minimizing without flattening, and it keeps the breasts separate which I like. The seam on the cup does show through on some shirts, but it's not a big problem. I actually like the way the front of the bra looks too. I wish the bra came in smaller band and larger cup sizes and that the back didn't look like such a grandma bra, though.
Best underwire I've purchased so far. I bought a different size than my true size due to the fit and inability to find anything closer at the store where I purchased. As I have done with most of my bras, I bent the underwires to that they more closely follow the indentation of my sternum. This has helped with the fit immensely. The fabric is very soft and the thick strap is quite supportive. It is described as a minimizer, but I feel it gives better support than any other strapless bra I've tried, especially the padded for lift style. I do find that the band tends to show with some of my dresses, particularly under the arm, but I think it has more to do with how high I wear it to get the wire sitting at the root of my breasts. Would certainly buy again. Think it will stand the test of time.
