Navy blue with gold embroidery and accents

Balconette with 3-part padded cups. Padding is thick, but not completely stiff. Outer fabric is matte and insides of cups feel cotton-y. Embroidery detail is in a gold color (more matte than shiny) with a circle/wheel design along the tops with scallops at the edge. Matching bow at center gore. I think the sides are some kind of powermesh. Straps are also blue with plastic blue hardware; they are elastic, but not super stretchy. Hooks and eyes are blue and are in sets of 3. Elastic runs along entire bottom edge.

~~~~~~~~
Not going to go into too much detail. Basically, this bra is typical fit for Parfaits on me: too wide, too shallow, and too tall.

I bought it hoping to help find my Parfait size. It helped confirm that I probably will never have a Parfait size. Their size/shape scheme just won't work for my boobs.

Navy/Gold colorway

This bra is not owned any more

  The things about Parfait that make them a not-so-great fit for you are what makes them a great fit for me. ;) Their plunge styles are the exception - they just aren't wide enough nor tall enough in the right places and the ones I've tried were padded in the bottom part of the cup so I run out of room and end up quadding beyond any quad level seen before and that just looks awful - my boobs would leave me and never return if they could when I try to stuff them into one of those.

• I'm jealous! :D

  But now I'm thinking I should try a plunge if they don't work for you. lol

• It's worth a shot? I plan on looking into Parfait non-padded next.

  Have you considered any of the Claudette styles?

• valentine556: I do have a 32G - Claudette » Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000) that I'm on the fence about. It mostly kinda sorta fits, but I think the wires are too wide for me. I've only worn it once or twice because it's so see through. Seriously, sheer body paint would camouflage me more!

  I don't know if that's what is supposed to be a plunge or not. From what I remember the gore is low on me, but it has been a month since I last tried it, so I don't remember.

• Ah, yeah the combination of the odd non-fit of the one Claudette style I've tried and pretty much all the others being super-sheer fabric are why they're off my "to try" list. Early on in my correctly sized bra finding journey someone recommended the brand so I tried the cool cotton and that made me want to find who recommended it so I could smack them with the bra. :P
