Tag says 30DD, but it's much too tight on my 27" ribcage, and it pancakes my boobs across my entire front, actually reducing my full bust measurement a whole inch. Very similar to the Freya Deco soft cup 28E but with about a half-inch wider, ever-so-slightly shallower cups.
Weirdly, the elastic along the top of the wings is pinkish lilac rather than nude.

I really thought that this bra, in either 30D or 30DD would have worked for my shallow breasts, but it's a shape mismatch. This bra cuts on top, while I don't fill the bottom of the cups. The D cut in the center of the cups. The wrinkling looks weird under clothing. Maybe I should try an E but I don't think that'll help much. I'll be sending these back.
I love the look of this bra, and the deep blue color. To bad it didn't work out.

This technically fits, but I did not love it. My breasts are not supported enough on the sides and point to the sides instead of to the front in this bra. The cups may be slightly too deep. Tried it in 30D as well, but those cups were too small.
Apart from fit issues the bra feels really comfy, especially for this type of bra.

Very pretty bra, which gives a nice shape. However, the bra is slightly uncomfortable. The fabric is very itchy (slightly less with wearing it though) and the wire digs into the sternum and the ribcage, altering/bending it relieved this problem. For the rest, the wires fit me right, which for me means they are narrow enough. The band was slightly tight, but after a few wears it is perfect.

I wish that the bra had less pokey straps. The bit where the cup meets the strap is poking me. I'm sure it's nothing a wash won't fix. I never thought a 'push up' or padded bra would ever be comfortable because I'm shallow shaped and my tissue is dense, but this was lovely. The color is pretty and the bra gives me a nice shape.

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.

This bra is not a fit on more levels than one, yet amazingly it is the most comfortable bra I ever put on. It is so comfy that I am actually thinking about adjusting the too wide gore. In fact, when I pinch the gore with my fingers, the quadboob eases. This is a full cup version, but acts as a balcony on me. Absolutely thrilled with its softness.

I originally ordered this in a 32D (see my review) but I thought it got lost in the mail. I did eventually get Figleaves to resend the package but by then 32Ds were sold out so I got a 30DD. Of course shortly after my original package showed up. I usually wear a 30DD/E and had been told to size up in the band because it ran small which it definitely does. I can wear it but it's not terribly comfortable. The wires dig and you can see the print being distorted a lot on the band. The fabric is sadly pretty thin and the band is only ... a single layer.
The cups run large in every size apparently. Weirdly the cups on the 30DD seem to run a little bigger than the 32D, maybe there's different scaling in DD+ cups or they're just inconsistent, who knows. This fits like a big 28F. My bigger boob makes a good effort to fill the cup and is kind of okay looking, my smaller boob doesn't really manage. This one is definitely going back, but I'll probably keep the 32D. The cups are also fairly closed on top so I get a bit of a weird shelf boob thing going on. This happens with the 32D too but it isn't as bad. It's a cute bikini, but it could be better. Definitely size up in the band and down in the cup if you plan on getting one.
As for the bottoms, I got the brief in a 10 and I'd say it fits a bit looser than most of my size 10 panties. It's not bad on my 37" hips, but if you're smaller than that you may want to size down. They don't give me a muffin top though.

Fits like 28E, slightly small for me all over. Tight band, pretty typical for Lepel. Not really padded, has thick lining. Would be good as a strapless option for self supporting breasts, would be risky for me to use it without the straps. I am happy with the shape it gives, but is about a cup small, so I spill over on my bigger side.

A beautiful looking bra that I had my eyes on for a long time, but turned out to be too small in the cups when arrived. I would need to size up in the cups to get a decent fit. Lovely butterflies pattern on a creme base, the looks is 10/10. Straps quite thin, actually too thin for my liking and band stretchy soft material. Cups are soft moulded, very thin padding - doesn't really add to volume. Would be a great bra to conceal my unevennes if it were the right size. Really sad it doesn't fit.

Came up too high under the arms, "orange in a glass" effect after scoop and swoop. Didn't do anything for me!

The size should be good, but the shape just doesn't look right on me. If I took the gore in, it would improve the fit, but it still would not be perfect. A tight 30 band, like 28 in Freya. Cups seem to have ample projection, just a bit far apart for my shape.

A very comfortable and practical molded cup bra. The band is true to size but quite stretchy. The cups might not work well for those who have a lot of center fullness, but since I have none they worked perfectly for me! Gives a natural rounded shape, not super uplifted or rounded.

I got the Lepel Fiore at the start of my bra-epiphany and then thought it was fantastic. I've gotten wiser since then, but still have to admit that it is a very comfortable bra. The wires are too wide and the band could be tighter, the cup separation is too much and it comes quite high up to my armpit. The 30DD has the ideal cup size for me and overall works for me as a comfy everyday bra. I might take in the gore though. Love the stretchy lace - great for my unevennness.
I have it in 3 sizes now 30D, which will probably be listed, as it's too small, 30DD - the best fit and 32D - something I bought on sale, but band waaay too loose.

Very happy with this bra - it is firm but delicate and feminine and the size is spot on. I knew it right away that it was a keeper so got the matching briefs as well. Band fits like a 28".

I love polka dots and have been wanting a lone-line for a long time! This bra would work well for someone with basically opposite boobs as me... Average roots, can accommodate tall roots, good for FoB shapes, requires some center projection and a little bit more space between the boobs than I have.
It's really soft and lovely in person, my boobs and this bra are just incompatible!

I really like this bra. I realized the cups fit me but it just seems like they don't because the straps are too wide.
