Famme Fatale had a lot of success and it has sold out quickly. When I finally could buy it, my regular size was no longer available. I decided to try 65dd which works quite good in CHP Cappuccino. I was expecting the cups to be a little small but acceptable since the CHP style has open cup edge, especially those without edging on the cups.
When I first saw it, I was sure it will be too small, the cups seemed minuscule. In reality, the cups run a little smaller than in other CHPs, the edge is more closed because of the corset tie which makes cups more ... rigid. As a result, I have a nice cleavage which goes rather good with this design. The underwires are flexible in this size so the center gore doesn't lay perfectly flat, but it's not an inconvenient for me, first because the cup edge doesn't cut into the breast tissue, and second because my sternum is extremly fragile and I can hardly support any contact with the wires.
The straps look the same as in Milady etc but they seem a little larger. The band is firm. I would recommend to size up if you're between two band sizes.
I won't say nothing original about the design, it's one of the most beautyful Effuniaks ever (imho), the lace is much more delicate than in Cappuccino, the corset tie was a great idea, my only regret is about the colour of the nude part of the cups which is to dark for my skin and unfortunately it doesn't give the impression "it is tied directly on skin" https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
EDIT:
I realised that the CHP construction in FF has been changed compared to the CHP Cappuccino in the same size. I feel there's more support and less "bounsing", the breast is more "centered". I noticed some differences visually and decided to measure the both bras.
- The middle part of the cup, the one between two vertical seams, is thinner in FF.
- The part of the cup between the wire under the armpit and the strap is longer in FF (maybe EM decided to listen to her English customers? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> )
- The cup edge between the strap and the center gore is shorter in FF.
I also find the underwires a little less flexible in FF comparing to Cappuccino.
