So cute!! You look beautiful!! :-)
Looks great on you. :)
Didn't fit
This bra is amazingly soft and comfortable, and it provides a much more flexible fit than the regular Dessous. It's definitely a full cup, and is fairly narrow and projected. The wires are soft, and not very strong and the overall support level is not very high. I'm not at all impressed with the quality and would be livid if I had paid regular price for this. The elastic started to fray on the second wear, and the stitching and overall finishing just isn't great. But, it's an unlined longline and I've wanted one of those for forever.
The Claudette Dessous has been the one that got away to me for a long time. I ad

Oh these colors and style are so pretty! Unfortunately I had the same quality issues with my Dessous, but I'm especially mad about the quality of the elastic. I've only had the elastic fray on bras that were old and had been machine washed. So I don't plan on buying anymore Claudette's, even though this bra looks cute :(
It's such a shame that the quality isn't there because it's incredibly cute. It looks great on you.
The model could be wearing a smaller bra than her size, but I like the full cup on you nevertheless. I bought a few 2015 season bras with freying band fabric after only trying them on, so this quality issue might be more widespread. I found their band material ridiculously unsupportive, it is just the elastic on the borders that hold and I get a "sausage on the back" look. Would love to own a fitting Dessous, but no idea which size or year of model, colour etc to go for.
This bra is from SS15, so it's always possible it was an issue contained to that season. I think it's important to contact the company with such issues so that they can address them, and it's a better product for everyone. I'm sorry to hear so many of you have had quality issues as well! And yes, I found a bit of that too. To me though it's not any worse than Cleo or Freya. I've always felt that the big UK brands don't have a quality that corresponds to the new price.
I had a Cleo dessous from the first season that lasted really well. I'm thinking this might be more of a season issue. I've owned a couple from other seasons briefly- long enough to wash them a few times and I didn't have any issue with them. My main complaint is that the cut on the dessous has been tweaked season to season so I never know nichols color ways might work for me. I do wish all the companies would use bands with tension more similar their band elastic, some times it's almost unbearable - and Claudette elastic can be especially biting at the end of the day. Of all the bras I've tried nothing has had the longevity of my Cleo lily parrots. That thing has been indestructible!
I will add measurements tomorrow
