I am pleasantly surprised by this bra. I previously tried 30H - Understance » Ivy Smooth Lace Full Coverage Flexwire (U00 and found the band massive and the cups far too small. Yara fits really differently [I need to add new measurements to Bratabase so can't input my fit assessment yet]. The band is true to size, with the 28 band stretching to just over 28". The cups are significantly more projected than the Ivy; I could use a tad more cup depth on my larger side to avoid the cup cutting in slightly into my inner fullness, but the fit is close enough that it’s ... unnoticeable under shirts. And, most impressively, the wires are on the narrower side and an ideal width for me (5.5", the same as my 28GG - Cleo » Blossom (10581)!).

Quality is okay. The bra came with stitching coming undone on part of the band. I haven't worn the bra long enough to assess comfort, but the material is soft. The wings are just a bit taller than I prefer. Appearance-wise, it’s very much not my style, alas.

Update: After this bra for a full work day, I actually think it'll become one of my everyday bras. It's comfortable, and I didn't need to adjust at all--the straps never slipped, and the underwire did not budge out of my IMF. I did add one extra set of hooks from a band extender because I prefer a looser band.
