The band is quite snug, as it should be for a strapless. Feels very secure: Silicone strips on top & bottom of band as well as top of cups; a set of boning under the arms and one set in the back. It took a little fidgeting to get them to lay flat. The band is the same length top and bottom, so it's best suited for a straight torso, not V shaped.
The cups are moderately stiff, molded cups; closed at the top; thin padding for modesty and control, but not thick enough to add volume. Wide wires (6.25"); shallow (9") but still more ... projected than most strapless I've come across. Still, it gives a minimized profile.
The gore is narrow (.75"), but on me it's too tall and sits on breast tissue; it won't lay flat unless I force it, which makes the quadding a LOT worse. Clearly, the support is coming from the bottom band and not so much from the gore, especially the top.
The straps have firm stretch for multi-way options. But of course the loops for attaching in the front are way out towards my armpits.
It's wearable, but far from ideal for me. I may keep it around until I find another strapless I like better. It's the closed cups and the tall gore which are most bothersome to me; not to mention the back fat I get (but that's probably because the cups aren't deep enough to pull it all in).
