I heard that Lepel's non-Fiore bras ran deep in the cup. This was confirmed by the Erin unlined bra that I tried in a 30FF, the same size as my Fiore Balconette, so I ordered the Elizabeth Padded Plunge in a 30F, hoping that going one size down would make up for the too-deep cups. Bad idea. This plunge is at least 2 sizes too small for me in the cups. The amount of quad-boob I get here is kind of grotesque looking. Really, it's ridiculous. This might be a good bra for shallow breasts, since the cups certainly appear to be extremely shallow, but I can't be ... certain. Personally, I still think this is worth trying if you're looking to fit a shallow shape, just consider sizing up a little in the cup.

The band seems nice and tight (my underbust is 27", for reference), but that might very well be due to the too small cups. The bra itself is quite nice looking and I am particularly enamored of the (relatively) thin straps, since I wear a lot of thin-strapped tank tops in the summer and am always trying to find appropriate bras. Overall, I liked the bra and wish it fit me.
