I was worried because the Evangline has a rather shallow cup measurement for Fauve padded half-cups and I got some quad-boob when I was taking pictures, but when I tried the bra again 2 weeks later, it fit well. I think it depends on my time of the month. This is a lovely go-to for the first two weeks of my cycle, after which I can switch to the deeper/more open on top Pearl, or my Comexim Basic.

Having tried several Fauve Padded Half-cups in 30F, here is how well they fit me, from best to worst. Better fits are deeper and/or more open on top.

I have a review of the nude/Biscuit color here: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dli7c/ I haven't noticed any differences between the colorways, other than the obvious (nude disappears better under light shirts, etc.)

If fairies and elves really exist, they're shopping for bras like my Fauve Evangeline Padded Half Cup in Red. The full, rounded profile; the ethereally beautiful Leavers lace layered over the cups; the stretchy yet supportive band that doesn't cause back fat...My 30F Evangeline pushes my breasts up, to form that uber-cakes-on-a-plate cleavage, AND forces them toward the center of my chest. One can have almost touching breasts that from the front are very round in appearance but still move toward each other only with reluctance. I value bras that create maximum fullness around the center gore. Until I tried Ewa Michalak's 3D bras, I thought Fauve's half ... cup bras were the only ones that could do this. I tell ya, having very naturally firm breasts isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I got this Evangeline in Red, bought another in beige (Biscuit), and then tried it in black. All three fit the same. Every bit of the bra is comfortable. There is NO break-in period with Fauve, at least with the dozen or so I've tried. I've tried mostly padded half cups, but also three sheer half cups.

I worried that the Leavers lace was too delicate for frequent wear, but the underside of the straps wears faster than the lace. In fact, neither the red or beige (Biscuit) Evangeline is showing wear in the outer cup material. Maybe that's why these bras cost what they do, to source higher quality, more durable materials?

Being petite with close set breasts means even most plunge center gores are too high for me. I'm sure the gore height and cup coverage of Fauve's half cup bras are a necessity for women with soft tissue and more space between their breasts, but the gore is just too high on me for more than occasional wear.

I actually bought a backup of this bra, figuring a nude-for-me bra is versatile enough to justify the expense. However, the sad fact is that being petite with close set breasts means even most plunge center gores are too high for me.

Great shape, a bit of gapping on my smaller boob, but that's ok. The straps tend to slip down my shoulders because they are too wide-set.

The 30F Fauve Evangeline Padded Half Cup (0262) in Black fit exactly the same as the Red and Biscuit Evangeline Padded Half Cup bras. I returned the Black bra only because my boyfriend didn't care for the color. It has the same lovely lace as the others, but in black, on a beige background.

I set the fit as comfortable in all particulars even though I've since realized I prefer center gores no higher than 1.5" because my breasts are extremely close set. In a bra, there is no space between them. However, Fauve padded half cups are comfortable despite the high gore. The half cup style always has ... a gore on the high side, at least on me. I'm quite petite, except for a 30F bust. Almost every half cup bra covers my torso much more than that style is supposed to. Half cups are meant to eke out enough coverage to hide one's nipples and aerolas. My boobs fit half cups extremely well and achieve epic cakes on a plate cleavage. I just end up very covered up.
