I normally wear 28G (UK), but since Parfait runs a cup and a band small I go with 30G in their bras. However, even that is too small for me in this model. It's simply too shallow and my boobs are pushed up and in so I end up with quad-boob. I'd recommend this bra for someone who needs average-width wires and shallow cups, and normally wears 28FF/28G (UK).
I'm pretty disappointed that this one doesn't fit me because I love the way it looks. The pink is very vibrant and the pale pink embroidery is really pretty. The little tassel in the gore is adorable. The wings are ... nice and sturdy and the straps are super comfy—shiny on the upside and soft and felt-like on the underside where it touches your skin. It says 100% polyester on the tag, but the lining in the cups feels cotton-like. Very soft and comfortable.
Though it's called a "padded" bra, I don't really consider it that. The cups are made of light, flexible foam.
Worn a few times and washed only once. The one time I washed it, I stupidly did it in the same batch as a new black bra, so there is a little discoloration on the right cup—a spattering of small dark blue dots. See photo for details.
