On me this winds up being a full cup bra rather than a usual balconette shape. The cups are very, very tall. They don't feel too deep, or too wide, they just come up really high on my very short torso. The tall sides keep tissue in the cups, which is great, but the straps don't adjust short enough for me. I'll have to alter them, somehow. They are made of a rubbery type of material that has wedges in it. The wedges are great for keeping the straps from slipping and losing the right length, but since the straps don't adjust ... short enough the wedged part just adds extra bulk on my frame. Fiona is a sturdy, comfortable bra. I thought the cups would be more "half-cups"; like Ewa Michalak styles. Actually, Fiona is quite similar to Cleo Juna, but Fiona has much taller sides. It's a tall-cupped t-shirt bra with stretchy elegant lace on the cups. Like all Parfaits, it seriously has to be "broken in" and it doesn't start to feel quite right until it's been worn and washed several times. The bra is a perfectly suitable everyday bra and it costs much less than the European brands I love so much. I won't be re-purchasing this particular model though.

A bit tight, but the main issue is the cup size is too large for me (cup wrinkling at top and smaller breast is swimming). Very pretty bra.

Very pretty bra. I've been told Parfait has great bras. I've heard rave reviews about the Charlotte, but didn't like the design of it. This has satin and lace, so a very feminine touch. Nice thick straps, with accordion folds on part of it.

This bra was my first attempt at a bra that actually fit! I found it because of recommendations from this site & HerRoom.com's fitting guides. That being said, it is a very pretty & sexy bra. It's made of soft material and seems to be pretty sturdy and supportive (at least much more so than my other bras!). I thought it had a very nice profile under clothes even some gapping at the top of the cups. The band width was perfect for me, no poking or rubbing. The straps are set a little wide & it should be noted they can only be adjusted halfway because of the (very pretty I will add!) pleating on the front of them.

This bra is far too big in the band for me - unlike Charlotte it doesn't run small. The cups are also too large, but also not good for my shape as they are fairly shallow and wide. I don't get on well with the centre gore as it's too wide for my close-set shape. The straps are only partially adjustable so not great for petite ladies. I'm sad this bra is so incompatible with me as the colour is beautiful!

Worn for half a day so I couldreview it, but it doesn't fit well enough to keep.

Beautiful bra. The color is classy and subtle. The straps have a cool pleating detail along the front side. The brown lace is exquisite and the quality over all is top notch.

Runs small in the band and cup, so it fits like a 28G, which is my usual size. But the fit is just slightly off for me. A little too shallow in the cup, a little too wide in the wires, the gore doesn't tack but only a little, etc. Recommended for an average profile—not extreme in terms of any shape, placement, or depth.

My only real complaint is that the straps, as pretty as they are, don't adjust short enough.

This bra sadly has cups that are too far apart for me. The bra is gorgeous, the band and straps are comfortable, the wires are the perfect width... sadly, my breasts are not wide set enough for this bra. Although to be fair, even if they were I'm not sure I'd love the shape. It's a little pointer than I typically like, but then I prefer a very round shape.

The band is a little tight when you first put it on, but not constricting and I'm sure it would settle to just 'snug' once it was worn a bit and stretched.

I wanted badly to love this bra, but the way it actively pulls my breasts down and apart is just not for me. My search for a white bra continues!

Just purchased. Gives great lift and separation. It's padded to help with the headlinghts. seems a bit snug in the band, but not constricting, I'm hoping that it'll break in okay. The lace isn't itchy, and it the cups are very supportive.

I've already reviewed the 30FF Fiona in purple, this is for the peacock blue color. For more detail please see my other review. Bottom line, I love the Fiona and will likely get this one in more colors!

I find that this bra gives me a little more projection and a little less rounded shape than my other Parfait bras. Most noticeable is the ribbon trim across the top of the cups. It is a nice touch. It fits well and doesn't cut into my breast tissue, but it also doesn't lie flat so it shows under thinner clothes. The front of the straps have a pronounced pattern, a very firm bunched ribbon. However, the overall fit is great. This bra is not padded despite the name, it's simply lined like most molded bras are. The cups are three part with vertical seams, with a nice satin outer layer.

Note: This is labeled as a UK 30FF, US 30H.
