I bought the Peacock (teal and gray) colorway and it is probably the most "my style" bra out of the ones I've tried recently, but the shape is just not right for me. It's quite shallow, I have trouble filling the bottom of it and it cuts into my tall roots. The shape is definitely not the rounded look you get from moulded bras and I don't love the shape it gives me, but I think if you are shallow with a FOB or even shape and/or not tall roots, you would get a much nicer, rounder look. All in all, a very beautiful and well made bra, but just not for me.

This bra is not owned any more

  I thought this colorway is from a previous season? The band tightness seems consistent with SS15 Claudette so I don't know. Does the band feel super tight on you? I wear mine with an extender and it fixes some of the cup issues.

  I'll bet the cup width on this one is a part of the problem. The 28DD I have isn't even 5", and it's too wide on me when I'm not bloated.

  Another thing that I noticed with mine is that a slightly too-large cup brought the top edge of the cup high enough that it doesn't cut in on my tall roots.

  Claudette, I want to figure you out, and I want you to work for us petites. We are running low on unlined options here!

• I don't actually know what season it's from. I got it off Zulily.

  The band is quite tight, yeah. I don't have a band extender though, but that might be a good option. I don't quite want to get rid of it yet, but I'm also tired of owning bras that I don't love.

  And, sorry that's a typo on my part. The width is closer to 4.85. I'll update that now.

• It looks like there's a report from another user who also reported that the teal one runs tighter than previous years.

  Definitely get an extender if it feels tight. This bra becomes unforgiving of tightness by the end of a day's wear. I don't remember if you were the person who has a 25" ribcage, if so I'll bet this would break in in no time for you. Me, I'm getting a 30 band on my next Claudette, hopefully they don't change up their fit again.

  I have found most of my Claudettes to run more narrow in the cup than this, I wonder if you got an unusual one.

• I'm more like a 26" but this is still pretty tight. Might be a good idea to have a bra extender in general.

  It could also be that I'm bad at measuring. I'll try again tomorrow along with my 28DD and we'll see what I get.

  Haha, I do want them to change the fit! Less shallow & FOB would be great.
