This bra is too small in the bottom part of the cup for my FOB breasts, and has extra space at the top. It would probably be better for someone with even fullness. The gore is too high for my close-set breasts, but it didn't feel uncomfortable. Also, the seam has a weird bump...perhaps my nipple is supposed to go there, but it doesn't! ...so this would probably show under shirts.

I don't usually like white bras, but this was an incredible deal, and I like the pattern, so I tried it.
It measures as too big for me depth-wise, and height-wise, and I can't fill the top. I also am not full on top, so I'm not sure if going down a size would work.
The gore almost fits between my close-set breasts! So that's exciting news.....

Irene was a random online purchase from Nordstrom Rack. I purchased this simply because it was cheap and I wanted to try something from Parfait.
However, Irene is a prime example of grading gone wrong. I forgot to take measurements of this before returning it, but Irene's underwires are shaped like a horseshoe (like a U but with a more flattened, bulbous bottom and the upper ends pointed in instead of straight). This is clearly designed as a plus-size bra and graded down to a size where this shape and proportion is inappropriate. I don't think anyone with a 30D cup size has the amount of breast tissue necessary to fill out this bra, as the cups are tall, deep, and run at least a size or size and a half too big.
In addition, the fabric appeared quite cheap and was scratchy, and the wires were downright stiff. This was an all-around unpleasant bra.
