I purchased Veronique in the Topaz and Grape colorways, both in a distant sister size and very inexpensively off of Ebay, having been in love with the style but unable to find my normal 30FF. It actually made it easier to alter the band having so much to take in, and I also went ahead and shortened the straps approximately an inch or so.
My experience with these bras has really confirmed my absolute love for Fauve halfcups! The shape this bra gives is pretty much my perfect ideal... it's beautifully round, slightly minimized and yet simultaneously pushed up, somehow. The wires are wider than I usually wear, ... but they're remarkably comfortable and not problematic whatsoever. The cups are marginally more closed in on top than my Annalise, but they're still accommodating to my even shape. The aesthetic is incomprehensibly lovely with the corset-tie band detail, scallops of antique-looking lace and sparkling teardrop charm. I love that Fauve's designs include lots of periodic, classically elegant finishes in a way that is gorgeous and mature but still a little sexy. It's the perfect balance! I will say that the lace and vertical seams definitely show through thin shirts... it's most definitely not a t-shirt bra.
The topaz colorway in particular makes me think of Venice... maybe I'm extrapolating too much for a bra, but when I look at it I can't help but think of deep aquamarine waterways and rustic European details
