The padding is too thick to my taste, the cups are a bit shallow (had to re-order one size up), the shape is OK, the band in the back is comfortable. The straps were thin for a D-cup bra, but DD-cup bra came with just a bit wider straps that still looked elegant provided an adequate support. The pattern is nice, but its distribution on the bra is odd - one cup has mostly dark beige swirls, the other one has pink and ivory, which means the bra cannot be worn with semi-transparent or light clothes. The price is lower than that of my favorite Wacoal or VS bras, but the quality does not match either, hence 3 stars.
