Beautiful bra. Fits my shape well but too small.

Very tall cups, very open on top. My soft, splayed, mostly full on bottom breasts look like they are cowering in the bottoms of the cups. Very pretty, but definitely for someone more FOT.

This is a really well-fitting bra for my shallow, wide-rooted boobs - fits a bit like a plungier version of the Bravissimo padded half-cups. Probably a bit foofier than my normal taste in bras (it's purple! it has gold embroidery everywhere!) but it's so comfortable and nicely made I'm going to keep it.

Can't quite decide on the fit for this one. I love the low gore and how nicely padded the wires are. I could do without some of the lacy stuff on the straps and band, but wow, this is SUCH a beautiful bra. Deep, deep purple with coppery gold and cream embroidery. The band does seem very stretchy, so I could have sized down and been okay. Still working out my shape, but I think the wires are too wide for me, and the cups too shallow. It slides down a bit out of my IMF during the day. Still, it gives a good shape with a little cleavage, so I may keep it for evening wear. It's too pretty for me to want to part with it.

I'm pretty sure that the bra I bought is a defective/seconds bra. The tag says 30B but the band length is 28.25" unstretched and 34" stretched. Which means instead of a 30 band, my bra has a 34 band instead. Since my loose underbust is 27", it pretty much hangs off my body. Useless even as a nipple cover since it rides up so much.. I definitely plan on altering the band down since the cups seem to fit OK if I hold them to my body. Also, the wires are really flexible. Otherwise, the material feels nice to the touch.
So if you're looking at the ... NWOT 30b Isobel Plunge in the marshmallow colourway listing on Ebay, don't buy it unless you're willing to do band alterations.
Edit: So I've chopped off almost 8" off of the band and it fits better now! Now it's more like a 28. Cups are shallow and seem to run true-to-size, so it's slightly too small for me. However, the cups are open so I get some Regency cleavage instead of cutting in. The strap placement were off due to the band alteration so I ended up moving in the straps at the back. The closure is now a two-hook one instead of one-hook.

Totally gorgeous, high quality bra that doesn't fit me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> So much quad boob.

This bra has very wide wires and a shallow cup. Despite it being called a plunge the center gore comes up quite high and thus I'd call it a half cup.

This bra is stunning (I have it in aubergine). Unfortunately I'm a 28f (26'' underbust), and Fauve does not make 28's.
The band either runs true to size, or a little too loose. Regardless- it's too large for me on the smallest hook, so I'll have to pull in the band. Other than that- the wires are right, and the bra is really comfortable.
The cups seem to run a little big. The 30dd fits when I'm about a standard 28f. In the pictures I took I was a full 28f (filling out my deco), so I was getting a little bit of quadboob at the top.

This bra is the first one I've bought that fits properly. I like that the wings and wires are nice and high, which prevents escaping side boob. It is also a shallower shape, without being too shallow. The half cup is very flattering. I feel like a I get a pretty natural looking, slightly round shape with a lot of lift from this bra.
The only downsides I can see here are that the embroidery makes it a little visible under thin tshirts, and the fabric on the wings is a bit of a stiff mesh, which I like, but others might find a bit itchy.

The band is too big, there is gaping on the cups. The wires are really wide, so I think this bra could sit someone with shallow breasts and wide root.
Straps are incredibly itchy.
But the bra... Oh, it's so beautiful! Unfortunately, it doesn't fit.

This happened to me with Fauve once - a 30 band that looked and felt 34. Sent it back.
