If fairies and elves really exist, they're shopping for bras like my Fauve Evangeline Padded Half Cup in Red. The full, rounded profile; the ethereally beautiful Leavers lace layered over the cups; the stretchy yet supportive band that doesn't cause back fat...My 30F Evangeline pushes my breasts up, to form that uber-cakes-on-a-plate cleavage, AND forces them toward the center of my chest. One can have almost touching breasts that from the front are very round in appearance but still move toward each other only with reluctance. I value bras that create maximum fullness around the center gore. Until I tried Ewa Michalak's 3D bras, I thought Fauve's half cup bras were the only ones that could do this. I tell ya, having very naturally firm breasts isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I got this Evangeline in Red, bought another in beige (Biscuit), and then tried it in black. All three fit the same. Every bit of the bra is comfortable. There is NO break-in period with Fauve, at least with the dozen or so I've tried. I've tried mostly padded half cups, but also three sheer half cups.

I worried that the Leavers lace was too delicate for frequent wear, but the underside of the straps wears faster than the lace. In fact, neither the red or beige (Biscuit) Evangeline is showing wear in the outer cup material. Maybe that's why these bras cost what they do, to source higher quality, more durable materials?

Being petite with close set breasts means even most plunge center gores are too high for me. I'm sure the gore height and cup coverage of Fauve's half cup bras are a necessity for women with soft tissue and more space between their breasts, but the gore is just too high on me for more than occasional wear.

This bra is not owned any more
