I've worn 1 size or another of this over the years when money allowed, and the old Natori Full Fit Hidden Glamor. The latter shares a similar aesthetic, sleek fabrics and depth, but feels pretty differently as Orangerie Plunge's gore wires overlap and the J underwire is shorter, narrower. Outside of Comexim, this is the only plunge I've ever tried that had a short and narrow enough gore to fit right.
Natori Feathers is way shallower than either of these bras and only shares some general styling in common with this fuller cuts; I'm not sure why both Orangerie and Natori's Full Fit line were abandoned among department stores in favor of Feathers which doesn't really fit anyone so much as boob hat them.
Like many french brands this style suffered some drastic quality control cuts and has smaller set of hooks than it should, no stable frame around the cups, band length runs short/tight/wears out relatively soon (likely because tiny gore and less-shallow cups are more comfortable than other molded bras), etc etc.
