**Triumph makes two styles under the name "Icon" - one moulded and one 3-part seamed - and this one is for the non-moulded, 3-part seamed bra.**
This is one of the nicest bras I have ever seen. The attention to detail is superior to other bras in its price range (Cleo, Freya) and it seems more like a luxury bra than anything else. It has ribbon straps, delicate lace on the double-lined cups and very thick, velvet padding on the hooks (best detail EVER!). The band is pretty firm so I recommend getting as close to your actual measurement as possible - this one will probably not stretch out ... very quickly. It is a solid, well-made, luxurious bra and I am completely in love. Funny - I had never heard of Triumph until I found this on sale and I am really surprised - this thing is impressive.
The sizing on this is small all around. The cups fit more like a 32DD than an E or an F. Because the cups are triangular, I didn't get quadboob but the support was awful. It was obvious that the cup should cover more than they did and the shape just looked weird. The straps became very uncomfortable and started digging into my shoulders almost immediately (you can clearly see it in one of the pics). The band was too small as well and although I added an extender, it was still too tight. I tried adding a longer extender and it ended up distorting the perfectly placed straps so much that they were falling off of my shoulders.
I am returning this one and have already ordered it in a bigger band and cup (34F). I am kind of determined to make one (or both!) of the Icon bras work for me. They are just. so. gorgeous!
