  1. ORIGINAL REVIEW AND PICTURES (March 2019):
    The Parfait Marion has the pleasure of being the first bra that I purchased after the r/abrathatfits calculator showed me I'm really a 32FF/34F, not the 34DD I thought I was.

    I ordered this in a few sizes to help me narrow down my size. I ended up keeping the 34F because the band was more comfortable, but the 32FF fit similarly. I've been very happy with this bra. It looks cute and feels very supportive. The straps are only partially adjustable because the top portion is padded (very comfortable), but that isn't a problem for me. Some people may find the gore ... too high, but it works for me as long as I'm not wearing a low cut shirt. I have had some problems with seams showing through shirts, but only thin ones. The lace is very pretty and I find it comfortable (though it was itchy before I washed it a couple of times). I like the overall shape that it gives me.

    I haven't had it long, so I'm not sure how it will wear over time, but I'm quite happy with it so far.

    UPDATE (November 2021):
    I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and my bra size has changed. I now measure at 34G or 34GG according to the r/abrathatfits caclulator. Therefore, it is not surprising that this bra no longer fits well. The band feels tight even though it is technically the right band size. This is likely due to the cups being too small for my breast tissue. This bra actually does allow for more projection than many I have tried over the years so my tissue fills the bottom ok. The underwire is close to my IMF, maybe a little lower than ideal. However, gore floats a good 1.5" off my sternum. I also get some quadding on both breasts at the top of the bra. Overall, the bra feels like what it is - a few cup sizes too small for my current size.

    I can also say this bra was not one that I would reach for on a regular basis when it did fit. The seams often showed through my clothing and it was never quite as comfortable as some of my other bras.

    Not quite projected/big enough on bottom for my FOB breasts, and a bit too loose in top. Watch out for short strap problem! Although the gore is too high for me, it would probably fit comfortably.

    • I'm looking at this bra right now and the gore does look a bit tall. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

    30DD

    Didn't fit

    Parfait's unlined bras have been very hit or miss for me. Some of the early ones I tried in 30D (Sandrine, Irene) were oddly shaped and had very strange U shaped wires, as well as dubious material quality. However, I recently really enjoyed Ava, which is a side-support style that fits better than some of my Fantasies. I gave this one a try, but once again this was a huge fail. Marion has the same U shaped wire problem, but the biggest issue is that it is designed for very FOT, round shapes with a lot of upper projection. While the bottom of ... this cup fits, the upper cup is laughably empty. This seems really strange because my 30DD Ava fits just fine, the 30DD Tess is fine, and 30DD Casey Lace is just a little big in the cup, but mostly because it is too wide. I'm not sure why there is so much inconsistency in Parfait's unlined bras, but this is a disappointment.

    Marion is a rather tall balconette style with a tall gore. Parfait's wires tend to be on the narrow side, so while the wires here actually measure normally, the shape is a U that is flatter on the bottom and quite vertical on the sides. Thankfully, these wires have enough flexibility to stretch when worn, so it feels OK on. However, the cup shape is all wrong for me. This is a 3 piece cup with a 2 piece bottom panel and a very steep, perpendicular upper panel. The fullest part of the cup is quite high, and because of the width of the upper panel, it is very projected. Someone with a short and shallow breast shape like me would only fill out the bottom of the cup while the entire upper cup is laughably empty. The one positive thing is that the cups are constructed with full lining inside the cups, so that none of the seams are exposed. While the outside lace is quite soft, this would be good for people who have a hard time with seams or find lace to be scratchy. The upper edge is finished with a strip of clear stabilizing elastic that has some stretch, and the tall cups should be fine for tall roots without cutting in.

    The band is made from firm stretch knit and has a piece of plastic boning on the side for stability. This style didn't feel as firm in the band as most of my other 30DD Parfait bras, but I think this is probably because the cups are too big, since it measures the same. The straps on this style are very interesting, as the front portion of the strap is wide, tapered, and made from padded foam. However, the downside to this is that the adjustable portion at the back is quite short, and I'm not sure why they switched to skinny elastic in the back. The cups are made from decent-quality mesh-based floral lace with a satiny sheen, and overall all the materials are soft and good quality. The center gore has a stacked horizontal ribbon with a faceted crystal stitched on. There is a keyhole detail at the center cradle between the tall gore and the bottom of the cradle, which is lace.

    Overall this bra is thoughtfully constructed and shows several design details specifically for full figure comfort. However, the unique cup shape means that this is suitable for narrower breasts that are very FOT, round, and have a lot of upper projection. Round and wide shapes might have trouble with the narrow wires, and the cup shape and depth is not suitable for average, shallow, or non-FOT shapes at all.
