Very pretty bra but the cups are too loose for me.

Very pretty and potentially comfortable bra, unfortunately I think the cups are too large. The gore, underwires and band were all perfect though. The straps may have been a little too far apart as well, but I don't know if that would have been an issue if the cups had fit.

This bra is quite comfortable and very lovely. It gives a good shape, a little more "natural" than the Deco, but good for everyday wear. The straps are a tiny bit too far apart for my liking, and I get my typical orange in a glass if the bra isn't adjusted just so, but otherwise it is quite comfortable and well fitting.

This bra is the most terrible bra I've put on my body in a long time. It is extremely uncomfortable, and near impossible to put on. It gives a VERY east-west/ pointy look. The part where the lace lies is completely flattened out, giving a very rigid, odd and angular shape to my breasts.

I wanted to take chance on this bra because of it's beautiful vintage look. Not to mention I love longline bras. So some positives: it is beautiful (off my boobs), the fabric is soft, the longline part has boning so it doesn't roll up. Also, this fits true to size.

But really..not a fan.

The cups are significantly bigger than the 30G... feels like more than a cup size bigger. It fits me pretty well and works under tight shirts, but the cups come up rather high. The cups are also a bit shallow for my shape... but most are.

This is a weird bra, that's really the only way to describe it. The cups are probably the best fitting cups I've tried apart from a Cleo, but the band (despite measurements to the contrary) feels *huge* in contrast to my other Parfait. The straps are so wide apart they barely fit on my shoulders, and you have to tighten them almost too much to get them to stay up. Much like every other Parfait I've tried, the center gore refuses to sit down on the sternum, but some careful bending can make it much more tolerable.

The bra itself is adorable, no quadboob in sight. The cups are the type of balconet that curves back in on top, which may be a dealbreaker if you're really heavy on top. I'm only mildly heavy on top, so they fit perfectly.

Overall, it's a nice bra that's almost too quirky to recommend, but I'll keep it around because it's not bad once you get used to it.

Good bra, the center gore doesn't lie flat, but few do; it's a little better if you bend the underwire, and the band fits wonderfully so it's not too worrisome. The plunge isn't dramatic, but it's enough to cause my larger in the middle breasts to quadboob on the inner edges of the cups.

The band on this bra runs small but I think the cup is pretty true-to-size. My biggest issue with it is the empty space on the bottom of the cup. I can't arrange myself to fit into it and I have read that others had issues with it being too shallow on the bottom. The top of the cup and straps also tend to rub right next to my armpit when I move my arms and the material is not too soft so it is really painful. The straps that it comes with have a lace on them, which looks pretty, but is pretty itchy. It does come with replacement straps but I did not bother to open them and try them since the cup doesn't fit. Also, even though the 32 band stretches to 31 inches, the cups/wires start to distort at about 30 inches.

This band runs VERY tight. It is a size 32 but only stretches to just over 30. The cup also runs a bit small. I should probably go up a band and a cup size in this. While my tight underbust measurement is 30", it feels so tight after a few hours and I need to take it off. I also don't seem to fill the bottom of the cup and it kind of folds over on the bottom. Even with trying to adjust myself to fill the bottom, it doesn't really work. I think the bottom of the cup is just too shallow. The underwires are pretty wide, which is good for me but could be an issue for others.

The cups are shallow and would probably suit someone slightly full on top. The construction is good, with nice wide straps (not fully adjustable, but there's a fair amount of adjustable length) and soft boning in the wings. The fabric feels lovely - really soft and smooth. It's a beautiful bra. I especially love the adorable cameo charm at the gore. The band is not very stretchy at all. My only issue, apart from the band being slightly too tight (which I knew it probably would be, but it was on sale, so I took a risk), is that the band is a little scratchy where the hooks are attached. I'm hoping that will soften up after I wash it.

I really like the lace detailing over the cups. It adds a little something to a standard nude bra.

It really is very comfortable but it, unfortunately, never fit correctly (both too big in the back and too small in the cups). From what I understand it runs larger in the cup than the standard bra from Parfait Affinitas so it could be a good Deco replacement for some.

This bra is just not right for me. My breasts don't fill the bottom of the cup, which isn't a problem I've had before, the gore won't tack, the cups seem strangely shaped, and it's just kind of... uncomfortable. Really not my cup of tea.

The quad-boob effect with this bra is a style thing rather than a fitting issue. The seam where the top decoration of the cup attaches is tighter than the rest of the cup, causing a slight quadboob effect. There is also a slight hollow space right near my armpits due to migrated tissue. The band is quite snug and the straps adjust adequately.

I've been searching for a "perfect" molded cup bra to top even the deco and porcelain, but I did not find it in the Kelly. Although my ribcage measures 30", I thought I would give the 32G a try since I've heard Parfait's bands run tight, and a 30GG is unfortunately not available. I needed to hook the bra on the middle hook immediately, and I think I actually could have used the tightest hook.

Even if this bra was the correct size, I still don't think I would want to keep it. Maybe I've been wearing my Deco too frequently lately and gotten used to its shape, but I felt like the cups on this bra were very widely spaced, and I'm not a fan of the wide shape it gives me. The lace on this bra is a nice detail, but it's not enough to convince me to keep it.

Band is best on the middle set of hooks. The underwires cut in rather uncomfortably, I think because I can't fill the bottom of the cups (the cups aren't deep enough at the bottom so the breast tissue pushes the whole frame down, which causes the underwires to ride low and be painful.) Cups are about one size too big, and the gore sits about an inch away from my sternum. Cups are high on the sides and come very close to sitting in my armpits.

Overall the bra seems to be built too large for my frame, and even in a different size I'm doubtful that it would provide a good fit. Will be returned.
