I was really excited to find this pattern, but I was still searching for my "right" size when I bought it. Now, it's just too small for me and it doesn't fit my boob shape.

My favorite bra ever!
Great shape to dress up or go out, since it's the vintage, torpedo shape (rare find in large sizes like mine).

Biggest problem is the squeaky wires (at both ends of both wires). Most of my cacique bras squeak and I fix them by cutting a small hole at with end of the channel and inverting a sharp, metal nail file to rough-up the ends of the wire.

What makes under wires squeak?

Another problem (that I, like many, ignore) is that the center gore doesn't lie flat.

OK I don't actually have this bra, but I did try it on in the store today. I am a 42G in Elomi bras at Nordstroms. [edit - ha! I'm a 38H at Nordstrom. Fitter error.] I tried on the 42G in this bra at Cacique.

Whereas I fit the Elomi bra perfectly, the gore on the French full coverage bra wouldn't tack, the underwires were too shallow, I had noticeable quad-boob, the band rode up, and it was just uncomfortable.

Obviously they've incorrectly sized this bra. The Cacique fitters were surprised that it was noticeably smaller than the other lines of bras that they carry in the same size.

Full coverage as the style implies. Very thin material with lacy mesh and embroidery on the outside. No extra padding or lift except for the underwire to hold you in place so make sure your band is a proper tight fit otherwise you do tend to jiggle. If you're in between band sizes you'll want to double-check the fit, I was at 41" around the ribs when I got this bra in a 42 and regretted not going down to a 40 instead. The gore tilted forward at the top instead of sitting flush and I had to tighten it all the way to the last clasp. All in all it was comfortable but band seemed to run large on me.
