Devastated this is such a horrendous fail :-/ measuring it confirms what attempting to try it on suggested heavily - an 8.8 depth for an 11 inch wire makes this very shallow and frankly just a very unusual shaped bra. I think the one (?) other review here said what I'm going to reiterate - extremely shallow at the bottom of the cups. Believe me, I love a wide and shallow bra but this is the most extreme version of that combo I've ever come across.
Band is too tight for me (I am a large 30 but don't own any 32s - sister sized up in this as I knew it was supposed to run small but it's still too tight to be wearable), would best suit a large 28/small 30, so I can't really even get an idea of how this bra should look. It's very pretty though and basically a longline as it has a little bit of boning (?) under each cup at the front to help the elongated front band stay down, and 3 hooks and eyes at the back. V. sad.

Blondie/Godiva colorway

This bra is not owned any more

• Looks like this one could fit me :) wanna swap for something?

• Hi Scharminkeltje , ooh maybe! I had a look at the bras you have listed but not sure anything would fit as most seemed to be a 30FF and I am most definitely an F. Would you be interested in buying if I listed it for sale or do you have any non-listed swaps? :-)

• Not really, everything I have listed is what I have to offer :( but I would suggest checking out a measurements, at the time being I have 30FF, 32F, 30F and 32E bras that fit me, so the measurements are the key factor, not the size on the label.

• What's with Claudette making tight bands now? Mine are all loose. :(

  Hi erispe, bardot has been discontinued so won't be made anymore and I think Odette is a few years old too, so both sets are definitely pretty old. All my other Claudette bras (dessous, Sophia and en dentelle) are loose-ish to very loose so I'm pretty sure its just these two that run small. Not sure about fishnet as that's pretty much the only style I haven't tried but to be honest I think I'm done with Claudette as their sizing inconsistencies just continue to shock me....buying their items is a constant challenge as you never write know what you're going to get sizewise, ho hum...😒 /endofrant.

• Oh I see. You're the Claudette guru emsiepie ! :)

  erispe for the amount of money I've spent on badly fitting bras I'd bloody well better be, hahaha! 😅😒

• I am currently into French bras and it is a costly research. :)

• I am so astonished by this, I've tried seven different Claudette bras, not including different sizes within the same model, and ALL of my bands run tight, emsiepie , and , erispe , perhaps they ran a bit loose in the beginning of the brand? All of my Claudette bra bands measure at least an inch smaller than they're labelled size if not an entire size smaller. Odette measures 2 sizes smaller.
