Very comfortable and supportive bra. Exceptionally pretty with peaches, pinks and purples.

First impression is beautiful color and lovely soft material. Good projection from bottom of the cup, and the center tacks perfectly. Band is quite stretchy. Fit is 100% everywhere except under the arm-it is perhaps 1/2" too short, and sideboob sneaks out. It feels fine now, it's certainly not uncomfortable, but I suspect it would cause the wire to poke after the bra is worn a while.
As is, NWT, worn only long enough to set fit. Bummer because it really does fit well everywhere else, but PayPal is limited, so it needs to find a home with shorter boob roots.

guys, this bra. this bra! its the most gorgeous thing i have ever put on my body, and even if it fit terribly i would love it forever and never let it go. its BEAUTIFUL. i'd been lusting after the Coco for ages, and im so happy i finally took the plunge! pale green satin, creamy lace, pearls and bows and hnnnggg i want all of them forever! why did fauve have to be discontinued?! im going to be scouring ebay for them, especially the pale pink version.
the fit itself isnt too bad actually, though its not perfect. i bought a 34F, since 34FF ... was out of stock, and im never sure what size i am anymore anyway. i was also pretty sure the cups ran a bit deeper, and since all my fullness is on the bottom anyway, i thought sizing down would at worst make me look more pushed up. it feels like the depth and width of the cups are good, though i would love if the sides were higher and contained more of my tissue. i actually get a little bit of gaping along the top edge, but that happens with nearly every bra, because of the lack of upper fullness. its annoying, and bugs me when i move, but at this point ive been wearing freya halfcups nearly 24/7 and they gape way worse, so i can deal. the gore is a bit too wide, but i run into that everywhere, especially half cups (and again- not nearly as bad as the freyas!). from my cursory try on, the straps dont feel too wide, and they arent a scratchy material. the band is just the tiniest bit snug, but i expected that from fauve and a single hook on the extender is perfect.
all in all, i think i will be keeping this one around! its too pretty for me to want to ruin by wearing to work, but itll hopefully get some use on my free time. and if im lucky, i will collect them all!

im so disappointed by how this bra fits https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> i searched for it for ages, and took a chance on it because even though there was (at the time) no info on this size, i thought it could be my holy grail bra (need more unpadded half cups!!), but it sadly isnt. im never sure what size i am anymore, and all i could find was a 34F, so i decided to try it and see if it would be alright. although the measurements all point to a good fit, i think its the shape that is an issue.
the wires are nice ... and narrow, so those are great! the band is good for me on the first set of hooks, and i could probably wear it on the second set right away, but im going to return it so i didn't think it wise to really test the band too much. its not a thin material like freya half cup bands, its a sturdy and thick kind. so while it goes to 35 inches, it doesnt feel flimsy or like its too loose. i feel like, with this kind of material, it anchors better and isnt as prone to stretch out a ton.
the straps are wide set, but dont appear to be so wide set that i would hate them. again, im not going to be able to wear it for more than this try on, so i dont actually know how they would function in real wear. they seem a bit shorter than straps like freya, as ive got maybe 2 more inches left to extend them before im out of room, an don my freya straps im usually in the opposite boat, where i constantly shorten them a ton.
i wasn't sure how to mark the cup fit, since the extra space i have isnt so much on the upper edge, but inside the cup at the apex. on my smaller side i do have some small amount of loose area at the top, but that kind of comes with the territory. its just a bit loose on the top half of the larger left side, mainly a pucker right at the gore. in both cups, i have extra space at the apex, and im not sure if that's because of my nipple placement (ive always suspected they are lower than average as i often have apex issues) or if the bra is simply too deep there. either way, the wrinkling is annoying and the slight looseness of the upper cup makes me feel much less supported. the shape of the bra also seems to make me look very pointy and east-west, sort of how my breasts naturally look when unsupported. i dont like that splayed look at all. i fill the bottom of the cup plenty, but i dont feel very lifted or shaped by this bra :/
the gore seems like its too wide for me. the base of it especially seems really seprate, and im pretty sure i have a center full shape, so im unsure if that is part of the odd shape problem i get with this bra. its not too high, and the wires height at the armpits seem okay.
all in all, a very sad fail for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Just like the 32F Chloe balcony I bought at the same time - too big a band (way, way too big in this one). There's no lining to stabilise the cup, making the embroidery cut in in weird places like the sides of my boobs, making them look lumpy. I have pretty soft tissue though. It doesn't look bad when I throw a shirt on top, it simply looks strange when I'm in the bra only.
Otherwise the shape is great - deep at the bottom with good lift and an open upper cup - I truly love unlined half cup styles. This one has pretty narrow wires, too, narrower than I expected from looking at others' measurements.
Just like the balconette version of this, I'm not sure whether to keep it and alter it or sell it. Time will tell.

The Pearl is almost good on me. SO close in some ways, and yet so far. First things first: It's a beautifully made bra, with soft satin and embroidery and pretty little details everywhere. Fauve calls this "padded," but to me it feels more like a heavy lining — and I like that kind of design a lot.
The band is just a touch too tight, but it feels pretty firm and the base of the cups fit nicely. The wires hit just at the front of my underarm which means that I've finally found a bra where the wires don't sit on breast tissue. I can fill the ... bottom out nicely, and the gore is just a tiny bit too wide and high for my closely-set boobs. I'd live with it easily if the cup tops and straps weren't a disaster. The bra wants fullness up top, and I'm not nearly full enough. I suspect that the thick lined fabric would make adding a substantial dart difficult, and on top of all that, the straps are too widely set for my shoulders. I suspect I'd be pulling the straps up all day.
So, the Pearl is lovely and might be perfect for someone who's full on top, doesn't want deep cups, and can do wide-set straps. For me, it's the too big / too small problem again and I don't think a sister size will cut it... back it goes.

This is a gorgeous bra. The embroidery is stunning, although I already managed to snag it up a bit. I get a little quadboob. Love the color.

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.
