After reading the other 32D reviews, I was a little hesitant to buy this bra, but it was one of the few that came in my size and was so reasonably priced.  I'm happy--no, ecstatic--to say it is an awesome bra. I actually wear it without straps when I could have straps because it does such a good job holding me up.  It's nice to give my shoulders a rest.  The band around the rib cage is substantial, strong and sticks in place really well.  I'm probably on the larger side of 32 (recently dropped from a 34), so maybe that's why it fits so well for me but not the other reviewer.  The cup size is perfect for me, though I do bounce between D and DD (in Calvin Klein and DNKY bras) depending on my cycle.  These cups are shaped perfectly; they don't add a ton of filler, just enough to shape what's already there into something nice.  I think the "petal" coverage is nice, maybe unnecessary, but I'm content to err on the side of caution.

I have not tried it with the straps because I bought it for the strapless-ness, but I would not be surprised if the straps were positioned badly, that is a problem that seems to be common with "convertible" bras. Regardless, I can't say enough about this bra. I'm so impressed.  Victoria's Secret can suck it: they rarely stock 32Ds, and even when they do, they inflate the sizes so it's more like a 32C in any other brand, and on top of it all they have exorbitant prices for crap bras (/rant about VS).
