Since nobody has added this bra to Bratabase yet, I figured I would at least share my thoughts of it when I tried it on. No measurements, sorry! I didn't want to actually purchase the bra unless it fit, and I didn't have a measuring tape with me in the store.

The bra was very pretty, would make a nice bridal bra, and I believe that's the intent of the Elissa collection. One of the jewels on the bow at the gore fell off when I put the bra on, but I don't know if that's a measure of Parfait's quality or the sad state of the Kohl's clearance ... rack where I found the bra.

The band is very snug; I was able to use the loosest hooks to fasten it, though I think if I were to wear it for an extended period I'd want the middle hooks. It has the silicone stuff on the band that helps keep the bra from falling down, which limited the stretch. (For reference, my ribcage measures 26.5" snug and I'm pretty happy in Freya 28s.)

Cups were sadly too small, too shallow, and too closed on top for my 28F boobs. The cups were tall, but not tall enough to keep from interfering with my tall roots. I had a ring of quadboob around the top edge of the cup outlining exactly where my root ends (which was quite educational, actually, but not how I'd want my boobs to look for an entire day). The wires felt like they were barely staying in my IMF, I'm sure if I had it on longer it would have slid down. I took one look at myself in the mirror after swoop and scoop, laughed, and then took it off.

I'm not sure what shape this bra would work for - it seemed like it has similarities to many of the other strapless bras on the market. Closed on top and shallow are a combination that doesn't work for many people.
