Since I am a 32F this was a long shot anyway...and of course it is too small so I can't give it a true sizing review. But is it ever gorgeous! The azalea colorway is a rich deep red with violet undertones. The ruched straps are old-world elegant. The cocoa brown faux-lacing detail on the wing is sultry, as is the repousse lace detail on the cups. Like all Fauves, the band is very stretchy (the band was fine, didn't need an extender). Even though it is not my size anyway, the cups seem pretty shallow and closed on top compared to other Fauve half cups I own, giving serious muffin. Maybe its the trim across the top. If I didn't quad out of it so bad, I'd keep it for the sheer secret luxe of knowing it was under my regular office duds!

The fit is very good here. I do get teeny tiny minor traces of the usual problems with my even-full, close-set breasts - the inner top quadrant of my large breast spills just a teeny bit into the middle, and the gore is pushed just a centimeter away from my sternum. Slightly narrower gore and/or slightly deeper cup would make it perfect, however, as-is, it's really a very very good fit.

Overall, it's comfortable. The cups are molded, which is gives the bust a rounded look and supported feel that I prefer over soft-cups (but can't often get to fit!) The I-feel-pretty lace is almost entirely on the ... outside of the cup, not touching the skin (except for a trace on the bottom/top of the cups which is slightly itchy but not a huge issue). The lace does cause a bumpy look in certain tight shirts.

Materials: 50% polyester, 46% nylon/polyamide, 4% elastene

POST-SCRIPT: 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.
