Simone Perele bras are always gorgeous, with soft, elegant lace and delicate styling. I love the look of these bras, but unfortunately they rarely work out for me.

While all SP bands are very stretchy rather than firm, I've found that there's a lot of variation in how they measure. This particular style is a standard SP band with narrow wings, and it measures much bigger than my other SP bras, so it is decidedly too big.

Simone Perele is no stranger to strap detailing, and this style has an embroidered overlay of flowers and what looks like dragonflies covering the front portion of the straps. Since this detailing goes quite far back, it's possible that on someone shorter than me that the straps could not be adjusted short enough. I was left with 1.5" inches to go once the straps were comfortably adjusted.

Cup-wise, this fits very similarly to my other SP unlined demi cups and is very similar to the Promesse Demi. Compared to other brands, these cups tend to have a deep U shape, and run narrow and tall. The binding at the top is fairly closed off. The interior of the cup has a tulle panel that runs diagonally through the cup and is seamed into the cup's middle shaping seam. This seam is not as tall as the one on the Promesse, meaning the top of the cup is fuller, and the cup itself is also taller, which means it needs even more volume on top to fill it properly The cups give a good rounded shape, but are most suited for breasts that are narrow, round, projected, with average roots. It's too narrow for wide shapes, too projected for FOB or shallow shapes, and too closed off for tall roots.

On me, the band is definitely too big and doesn't provide enough support. The top edge sits flush against my skin, but there's a lot of excess fabric right below the elastic. While the cups are the right volume for me, the shape is not a good fit, and my body doesn't fit into the cups to fill them out the correct way. I had the same issue on the Promesse Demi, but since the Amour cups are even taller, the problem is exaggerated.
