I tried this bra on in a boutique and fell in love with it. While not technically a perfect fit, it's close enough and so beautiful that I bought it. It's probably the highest quality bra I've ever owned. The materials and workmanship are just gorgeous. The construction looks and feels substantial and solid. I have no concerns about durability, although I'll still be washing it by hand.
The cup material is silky, but not overly shiny. It has beautiful soft lace around the back band, under the cups, and along the straps. The seams are smooth, nothing itchy here. The color is called "silky tan," but to me ... it looks like more of a pinkish nude (blush?). I love the way I look in it.
The 32E in this style fit better than the 34D, and I have very few complaints. The gore tacks, the band sits level and feels snug but not overly tight. There's very little (if any) quadding on my larger side. The molded cups mitigate the size difference between my breasts - it doesn't look obvious at all. There's a very small gap on my smaller side in certain positions, like leaning over. After wearing it for a day, I think the straps may be a bit too far apart for my shoulders - I have to keep them pretty tight to avoid slipping. If I'm standing/walking, it's pretty comfortable. If I'm sitting down for a period of time, however, the wire starts to rub a bit under my arm, but only on my smaller side. All four of the new bras I've been wearing lately seem to have this issue, so it's not unique to this style. Maybe I need shorter wires? I don't regret buying this one, but it's kind of annoying how a bra can seem perfect in the store and turn out to be not so upon wearing. It seems that I have yet to find the mythical comfortable, perfect fit.
