So I'm getting the tiniest bit of quadding only on my right boob but this is otherwise a really good fit, I think. The band is pretty comfortable, feeling just the littlest bit tight, and I'm so excited to have a cakes-on-a-plate bra that I would be tempted to keep this even if it didn't work as well as it does.

One small issue is that I feel like it splays my boobs a little? Ideally it would be pushing them forward more. There's a pretty substantial gap between them in this bra.

But it looks good, it's comfortable... and I got it for a great deal! Thank you, ... href="/@doubledelightandbeyond" class="mentioned-item">DDandBeyond !

ETA: ahh, I see Fauve is Fantasie, which makes me nervous because I have a loooong history of liking how Fantasie fits in the dressing room well enough to buy them, and then only later finding that they're too shallow and wide (initially they'll contain my tissue fine, but during the day they tend to migrate as my boobs struggle to find more depth in the cups). So I will keep the tags on until I can give this a proper test drive on Sunday to make sure it's _really_ a good fit.

ETA2: I didn't even have to do the Sunday test. I tried it on again after getting home and spotted the wrinkling in the bottom/sides of the cups. ALAS. I will be sending this one on to a better home!

So pretty! And the band felt perfect! Sadly, the cups were not deep enough or projected enough. It might have worked in a 30GG.

It is easy to see why Fauve is beloved: the fabrics are exceptional. They are not soft like Anna Pardal, but seem more robust and tolerant of wear and tear. The green has hints of blue and contrasts well with the black embroidery. Despite the pattern, the texture is smooth and is it is not visible under most garments.

The band is both supportive and stretchy. Because I often prefer 28-29" bands, I expected to find this band unsupportive. Although I do use the tightest hook, this 30" band feels wonderful.

Because the straps are half adjustable, I used a Strap Saver to provide the lift I needed. Surprisingly, the depth and width work very well. I thought shortening the straps would be a perfect remedy. However, when the straps are short enough (thanks Strap Saver), the cup cuts into my underarm. And, the gore remains too wide for my very close set breasts. Oh the challenges of the close set, petite bra seeker. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
