This band is perfect, but a bit stretchy. This works for me because I'm gaining weight. The the cup fits more like an F than an E. I can fill it during my fullest days of the month, but most days, I clearly need to size down in the cup. This bra isn't the best shape for my tall roots, but the cutting in is minimal. It works better than I thought it would. My favorite thing about this bra is the lower projection. My boobs sing whenever I put it on. I going to keep stalking Zulily for another Claudette sale, and I'm going to keep eating cheesy fries for breakfast, because I love this bra (and cheesy fries)!

Amazingly gorgeous, but ridiculously tiny for the 30E it's supposed to be https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" /> more like a 28D I think, hence will list it for sale. Bought from Brand Alley in a flurry of excitement cos it's the colour I've been after, but compared to the later seasons Parma Violet/Concrete and Peacock/Concrete that I have and fit me beautifully, this was a complete non starter. Fuller review to come...(and I'm also going to write to Claudette asking how they can make such ridiculously HUGE changes in sizing from season to season whilst calling it the same bra model - incredibly misleading for people purchasing their goods :-/).

It's... not horrible. Which is good enough for me! I love the colors - hot pink and beige - and I've been lusting after a Dessous like this for awhile. I know it's not a perfect fit, but i like it. I also love that they made this in 3 colors that could be a "nude."

I tried this in 28F first, but found the band ran tighter than in some other colors! 30E fits much better - the band slightly smaller than true to size. It's great on my 29-30" underbust!

I don't think this color is horribly shallow, and the wires don't measure that wide ... however, the ... wires are flexible and stretch with the band, leading to a bra that is too shallow and wide on some. I can wear an extender with this to get slightly narrower wires, but as it is the slight wideness doesn't bother me and the wire stays in my IMF.

There is a bit more wrinkling than on me than I would deal with in most bras, but I'm just too in love with the colors. I wore it today under a thicker band T and it worked great. I wore it under a white tank top and flaunted the pink straps and seams, and it was cute.

I think I've found my perfect fit! This bra arrived in the mail today courtesy of annabellynn–thank you!–and is exactly what I was looking for, particularly after trying on a couple 32's and getting discouraged.

This bra is lavender mesh/lace with black straps, edging, and bow. It's quite sheer and does show my nipples, but not to the point where they stick out through clothing. The band is firm, the straps aren't too wide-set, and the bra itself is just very pretty.

The reason why I'm ranking this bra as only "okay" in comfort is because the black lace that borders the bra is a little scratchy. Because of that fact and the fact that the top seam shows through at least some clothing, I don't think this will be an everyday sort of bra for me. However, it's certainly something I'd wear out for an evening, and I'm just thrilled to find something that seems to be the right fit! I'll definitely be checking out other bras by Claudette and/or Bratabase's recommendations for similar bras.

The best fit I've had from one of these yet - could do with a 28 band, but the band isn't as big as others I've tried. Probably fits 30-31" NWT. It seems more supportive and somehow better fitting than the navy/lime green one I tried, not sure exactly what is different though.

The bow is oversized and it's adorable. The cups are tall but fit better than most full coverage bras I've tried. The plunge is low. The mauve is pretty. I think I want to hold out for the colorway I've been lusting after most though - beige with hot pink trim.

I bought this in hope that I will finally have my dessous! unfortunately this 30E its at least one size too small. However, it is very comfy! But thats all good things about this bra. Im not fan of the print - but because I was buying 2 Claudettes from one seller - i didnt mind that much. The wires are so narrow and short that are digging into my breasts. Cups are very closed on top, but probably just because the bra is too small - I still need to try 30F/FF. Straps are fully adjustable which is an advantage.

28F (my usual size) wasn't available in this color way on the website I was shopping from so I got a 30E instead. The band was too big for my 27-inch ribcage. It is also too closed on top for my tall roots and full-on-top breasts. It accommodates centre fullness though, and I like how its sheerness makes me feel sexy!

The typical Dessous bra completely made of mesh. Excellent for summer. Not projected enough for me near the gore unfortunately, fits small for a 30E.

The American Tan feels smalles out of my all new Dessous. In the cups - same as in 30F, theres wrinkling at the top, while at the same time it cuts in my boobs - on both sides actually. The band also feels tight comparing to Mauve. I was planning to keep it, and get rid of Yellow one but I guess it will be opposite. Too much quadboobing to keep it. but overall nice brown bra that would looks good on each skin tone.

well, this is my favourite colour of Dessous so far - it like purple and grey mixes - looks very nice on my pale skin.The bra feels as good as my 32DD - Claudette » Paramour Underwire Bra (101015008) , but im getting tiny quadboob - its not really noticeable under t-shirts so definietly im going to keep this bra. I wouldnt mind if the wires would have just 12.2-12.3cm as they would fit better, but is not bad.
