I love the fit and style of this bra. Unfortunately, the wires dig in a little bit on my bigger side, which I think is a sign that the cups are too shallow. This is a bummer because otherwise, this bra is perfect!

This is gorgeous, it looks so pretty with all the details. Unfortunly it doesnt fit me at all! The cups are to small, but I'm not shore a bigger size will help since the cups seems to be really shallow.

My shape (as far as I have figured it out): average root width, tall roots, even fullness, projected, very soft breasts.
I bought this bra about a year ago, when I thought I had shallow, wide-rooted breasts. (And it was this bra that helped me figure out that I am not!) While pretty and practical, this one is a shape mismatch for me - it is much too shallow. My breasts push the cups down and then fold into them. I also quad from the top - after a proper swoop and scoop, my nipples sit *just* above the cups. Which looks hilarious, but obviously means this one is ... not wearable.
The band is giving. If you prefer a firmer band I wouldn't recommend this one. Other than that, it is a well-made and comfortable bra. If the shape suited me I am quite sure I would wear it all the time!
NB. For the cup height measurement I measured the centre inner seam from the wire to the top of the lining. The lace overlay seems, to me, to more aesthetic than a functional part of the cup, so I did not include it in my measurement.

Too big in the band. Cups are good though, excellent for shallow breasts,

The wires were too narrow for me, but the wires seem to be on the softer side.
The band runs tight and fits like a loose 28/tight 30.
Love the little lace and ribbon details and the color though!

Great bra for the shallow breasted brethren. Did fit beautifully, but unfortunately, I have gained a little weight in the past year (also may be experiencing tissue migration if that is a thing, or maybe I just want to tell myself it is).
Strangely, I tried another Lepel bra (the bouquet in 30E) and the band seemed to have less stretch. The Fiore Balconette seems to have quite a bit of give in the band, so if you're worried about it being a band size too tight, that shouldn't be a concern.
Otherwise, seems true a size and good for those with shallow breasts with a wide root. Can look a little strange under a t-shirt, though due to ornamental details.

Mostly love with this bra. I'm shallow and it handle that well. Almost cuts into my underarms/almost too big. Still, love it.

The gore doesn't sit flat and I don't believe that a 30F would either as I'm not sure I fill the cup anyway. It is very shallow and looks corset-like from the side. I think there was free space at the sides under my arms and the lace on the outside over the padding was not flat ( I'm not sure what this meant). I think implants may have the tissue density to push out the cup at this size. Or it may work with other breast shapes to mine.

I love the design, balcony's are my favorite. It doesn't quite have enough depth for me making the wires very slightly rest on my side breast tissue, but it isn't a big problem. The center gore for some reason will not stay, it pushes out a little, I think that's also because of the lack of depth. The straps are set a little wider than I'd like, but that's how all balconies are. The band seemed too tight at first, but since then I have lost about an inch off my rib cage, and it stretched out some so now it fits perfectly. I'd say it's more of a 28 band.
This bra is very comfortable, even with the slight fit issues. It is soft, not itchy.
The straps are fully adjustable, which I love, even though I keep them at an average length anyway.

Did you mean to say it stretched out from the 30 to feel like a 32 band now? Just checking!
