This is SUCH a beautiful bra!!! Such intricate, delicate detail. I LOVE the pretty little bows, with the pastel pink and contrasting mint green colors on the gore and straps. And the cute little hearts on the back of the band add a nice touch.
I had a feeling this would be too small, though. I was afraid the 30F would be too big. But I think that would be a much better fit. The band on this feels a little loose to me for a 30, and I have it on the tightest hook! The cups are very short, but it is a half cup bra. Of course, this causes major quad boob for me. But I think a band size down and a cup size up might actually work. I just love the pretty colorway of this bra!!
Oh, how I wish this bra had fit! I thought I could size down to a 30E but I cannot. If you are a true 30E it should fit well. The "30" definitely seems true to size and the fit is firm but not painful. The inside is finished impeccably and the whole bra looks and feels very expensive. The detailing is pretty and sophisticated; the cups are very smooth and supportive, just not big enough for me!
This is a beautiful bra. I feel the cup is slightly large (but maybe it's because I tend to fit a 28F better). The band is a good fit and has only stretched a little bit after a few washes. The straps had to be adjusted, but I have this issue a lot as I am petite.
If it came in a 28f, I think the fit would be perfect.
This is a beautiful bra! The band is a bit too big for me but Fauve doesn't go any lower than 30. There is a bit of wrinkling on the low sides of the cups on me for some reason. I absolutely love the half cup, since the side fabric on many bras cuts up too high for me. The straps are snug and won't slide around. I can't comment too much on comfort yet, as I recently purchased it and haven't worn it for a full day yet.
I ordered this in red in 30DDD/F from Asos, but they shipped me a 30DD/E. The underwire doesn't go far enough on the sides to capture all my side tissue. There is a little bulging above the sides of the bra, but, more importantly, the underwire sits on breast tissue.
The straps are only partially adjustable. The front of the straps is 7" long and has red applique. I shortened the back of the straps as short as they would go, down to 4.3125" (4 - 5/16"). If I could shorten the straps more, I might be able to get rid of the gaping at the top of the ...cups. The bra would still not be fully encasing my breasts, though. The cups are much more rigid than those of my Fantasie Rebecca. Now I understand why spacer foam is so much better for getting a good fit than traditional molded bras.
This is a beautiful bra, with a bright red base and embroidered mesh overlay with pink and white embroidery accents. I will try to capture the harmonious and outrageously gorgeous colors in my photos.
I have a blue Fauve Emmanuelle padded half cup in 30F. That bra fits perfectly. I doubt the Evangeline Moulded Plunge would fit well in a 30F. My only question about Fauve now is whether their balcony bras would work on me.
Edited to add on Feb 3, 2013: I measured the wire width and other features using the inner edge of the underwire. I recently learned this may be more correct than measuring the outer edge, which I'd been doing with previous bras I submitted. If I get a definite answer to this question, I will edit my reviews accordingly for the bras I still have. Read more 181 more words
