To small in cup... But nice tight band

I love the appearance of the bra, but it's slightly too big in the cups for me. I can't quite fill out the top or the bottom. I had every intention of just ignoring it, since the bra is comfortable in spite of it not fitting perfectly, but it's not meant to be. I think this bra would best suit someone with more projected breasts or even someone who is usually a cup size larger.

This is a beautiful bra, it's fast becoming one of my favorites. I'm shallow and FoB so I stuck with my normal size and it fits well. If you're very projected/FoT then definitely size up one. Or possibly two?
The band is snug, more snug than most which I love. High on the sides, so my boobs don't escape. It gives me a very rounded shape not a retro one which was surprising, but not unwelcome.
The only real problem for me is center gore is *very* high. It poked quite painfully until I bent the wires back away from my chest. This is unusual for me,
but all in all, I would absolutely recommend this bra.

I have small/shallow breasts, and the top/center of this cup was just too projected for me. The bra itself is pretty and seems to be made out of good quality material. The band runs quite tight - fits more like a 28 than a 30, which was fine for me, but true 30s might need a 32 in this bra.

Beautiful bra, I tried the 28DD but the band (for once!) was far too tight. It wrinkles a little on my smaller breast, but just barely. It works for my FoB boobs and FoT from what I've heard!

A nice bra, and fairly well made. The wings aren't as high as other bras in the Parfait line but still higher than usual. The straps aren't fully adjustable, and I almost couldn't make them short enough. The wires are much more flexible than the Charlotte balconet or plunge version. The band is a bit loose, but worn on the middle hook it works well on me. Definitely keeping it, it's incredibly comfortable.

I have this in pink. I love love love the pattern (even though I'm not a crazy pink fan). It's almost certainly my favorite bra in terms of appearance. The one (very) slight peeve is that the shade of pink on the straps and the mesh doesn't quite match the mauvish tone of the rest of the bra.
This is INCREDIBLY comfortable, absolutely zero digging in or whatever. There's side boning too, which I really like, and that isn't pokey either. The pleating detail is more or less invisible under clothing, unless we're talking skintight tops.
I'm normally a 28DD (sometimes E), rather FOT, and 30D was probably not the right size for me. There's mild quadboob by itself, and fairly severe quadboob after swoop and scoop. If this was a 2-part cup, I could have probably pulled this off, but there are three parts, and the upper part sort of juts back and causes quadboob.
I've ordered one size up, 30DD, and we'll see if that fits any better.

This bra fits, but I don't think I'm going to keep it. It has a more natural shape, and I prefer the shape of the Casey.
I like the side boning and the wide band a lot. Also, even though the gore is high, it does not dig in at all. The "european nude" color is a little dark for my skin tone, but close enough that it doesn't show under light shirts.

I tried this bra because I have a Parfait Jeanie and love it. This bra didn't work for me even though it's the same size as my Jeanie. The band was a bit looser, though not by much. The biggest problem was that the cups seemed to come up higher on my chest, and I didn't fill out the very top. The cups were also slightly deeper than the Jeanie. I would size down to a 30C if those were available. I wouldn't suggest this bra if you are shallow unless you are able to go down a cup size.

This is a really cute bra, but unfortunately, the shape wasn't quite right for me. It seems like it would work best for full on bottom shapes, as it cut into my breast tissue slightly, and I'm more even leaning to full on top. The cups were sitting on breast tissue a bit on the side (I have wide roots), so those with narrow roots might find it perfect. The gore was also just a tad too wide. Compared to my other 30D Parfait bra, the Jeanie, the band was looser. It might work for me if I sized up to a 30DD, but I'm on the hunt for practical t-shirt bras right now, and this one doesn't work for that purpose.

This bra fits my larger boob almost perfectly, but is too big for my smaller boob. I just use an insertable cup to make the bra fit on my smaller boob.

I just received this bra from another Bratabase user, and it's my favorite so far! The band is firm and fairly wide, with boning at the sides (which I love), and it doesn't make any back bulges at all. I fill out the cups completely, unlike some other molded cups I've tried. It doesn't give me any cleavage, like a lot of other reviewers, but I don't think it's possible for me to get cleavage from any bra. It looks great under thin knits! No part of it digs in or is uncomfortable and the straps are very soft and a nice width.

The band is very snug and comfortable, but I just don't fill it out. I think it's better for someone with very round, full breasts. It also has some rubbery lining to help it stay up if used as a strapless.

I simply did not fill out the tops of this bra. It was passable on my larger breast but the gap was terrible on my smaller breast and the edge stuck out in a t-shirt. I did like the wider straps and that it prevented armpit and back fat.

This fits me so much better than the 30DD. The cups fit perfectly and give me a rounded, full shape and the band even feels tighter to me than on the 30DD. Usually I wear a 28 band and have a 26" ribcage, but a 30 in this brand/style fits me well. It's a very simple and plain bra, with just a small bow and heart pendant for decoration, but that's fine as I need this for mainly utilitarian purposes under clothing where color/texture/etc. would show through too easily.
