Flat black lace overlaying beige molded cups: lace doesn't show under a thin top. Cups are tall, wide and rounded (reminds me of the Freya Deco). Gore tacks well. Band is true to size; firm stretch. 3/4" straps are wide-set.

With Fauve being a discontinued brand and therefore very hard to come by, I found this sister size for the 32F (which was extremely high on my recommendations list). With previous 32" Fauve bands already being on the loose side I figured the 30" might work out just right. And it did. This one is much more supportive than the Fauve 32's I've tried.
However, ... the trouble I have when sister sizing, is that by going up a cup size the straps become further apart, and then the cups cut into my armpits. The top of the cup also starts looking very strange. They're not so bad when I stand straight... it looks pretty good, but as soon as I move around, my soft tissue settles into the bottom of the cups and I get an odd gaping, more so on my smaller side. Because of the stiff cups, it's not forgiving at all for uneven sizes. And the gore is a bulky 1" wide, so my close-set shape isn't very happy.
This bra sits very high on my short torso, even with the straps extended to their longest. They call this a Plunge, even though the gore is 3" tall...and it fits me more like a balconette. (My guess is they call it a Plunge because proportion wise, the cups are so much taller than the gore). But I also believe the cups are very open and designed for more upper fullness (or self supporting) than what I have. I will recheck the fit during those days when I am a little fuller.
One other thing to mention, the wire width on this one is quite a bit wider than the averages listed here. The average wire width on both the 30FF and the 32F are narrower than this one I received. Maybe this one was mislabeled? I don't know.

For the record, I am 1/8" close-set, forward facing, FoT, but functionally FoB; soft tissue outside/very dense cystic tissue inside, settled (not pendulous), short roots, ideal wire width of 5.5" with 11" strap separation, low nips and 2-2.5" of projection based on leaning measurements (varies with how full I am).

Bottom line, this one needs a lot of upper fullness to make this work. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Very attractive bra. In "frost" colour the bra is a delicate minty green with subtle, soft (in colour and to the touch) lace overlay in grey. The straps are wide and comfortable.

Unfortunately the shape does not work for me. The centre gore won't lie anywhere near flat. My breasts are falling out towards the middle (though not as badly as in some plunge bras I've tried, perhaps because the relatively high, non-tacking centre gore sort of catches them). The cup doesn't go high enough at the sides. I also had to immediately tighten the straps as much as possible.

This bra is not owned any more
