    Didn't fit

    This was my first experiment with my recommendations on here, and while the bra looked gorgeous I was a little iffy about a 32G instead of my usual 32F. But my other Parfait bras are a bit small in the cup, and this obviously has small cups in general, so I went with it. I shouldn't have.

    For reference, I have a narrow root, fairly evenly projected/round (3/5 or 3/6) breasts and center fullness.

    Pros:
    *Like my other Parfait bras, it has the tacking-est gore ever. It might be a smidgen wide for me, but it's amazing how well supported it makes me feel.
    *The cups are surprisingly sturdy, too, and actually ... encase nearly my whole breast -- probably because I did go up two cups.
    *I've seen some complaints of nipple slippage, but if you have low nipples like me, I think you'll be plenty secure here. I didn't test it out strenuously, but it seems pretty secure.
    *Oh, and did I mention that it's gorgeous?

    Cons:
    *The band is very snug. It might stretch out with wear, but it's definitely more snug than I would like.
    *The wires are a little high (although the cup width is fine) for me, so they do pucker up under my arms.
    *And like most people have said, the lace bunches up. It's not horrible, since I'm a little fuller on top, but it is pretty bad on my smaller breast.
    *The straps are too widely set and only partially adjustable. If you're shortwaisted like me and/or have high set breasts (mine are only a smidgen high, but my torso is short period), it probably won't come anywhere near adjusting up enough to support you. I could deal with the other issues, and the lace bunching might even be solved, if the straps adjusted tighter.

    Overall, this one is a no for me. It's so pretty that I really want to make it work, but the wires/straps rubbing under my arms and the lack of uplift from the straps keep it from being something I could wear everyday. There's nothing wrong with an, ahem, special occasion bra, but even then, I think I could find a better fit than this.

    • I've re-listed this bra just in case there's anyone here who thinks it will work better for them than it did for me. It really is gorgeous, I can't say that enough!

    • I did notice that Parfait can run small in both band and cup when I tried it. I know when I suggest it, I generally suggest it to to ladies in the 28-32 DD-F range, and mention they can run small in the band, so this is not surprising - and it looks like you bought a black one - the black dye does make the band run even snugger. It's really not the best brand for narrow/projected. I normally suggest it to ladies with a wide root. It seems to work fairly well for that.

      Yeah, I think it's time to accept that no matter how pretty they are, Parfait is just not going to work for me. But you'll have to pry my Charlotte from my cold, dead hands (and anyway, my biggest issue with it is the trim at the top of the cups digging in).

    • Lol. How many brands have I said that about? :D. Curvy Kate, Panache, etc etc etc etc... Haha. I'd better start learning Polish, if my boobs insist on being this stubborn.

    • vexingbet My charlotte does the same thing. I've noticed that Parfait usually has the straps too wide set on their bras.

    • Charlotte is not nearly as bad as Tamara. I mean, look at that! The straps are behind my boobs. It looks silly, lol.

    • That's usually how it is for me too. :/

    • vexingbet ,What do you mean by 3/5 or 3/6 breasts? I'm not familiar with this. :0

    I got this bra because of the way it makes my boobs what everyone sees and notices the minute I enter a room. Cleavage and uplift I can practically balance a cup on, which the bra provides, was my intention - not everyone looking for a bra is after the same appearance. It is comfortable, the wires are wide which I need, the band is pretty firm in comparison to what the band on the panache styles I have feels like.

    • What other bras do u have that provide the same uplift and cleavage?

    • 1

      None that create the same uplift and cleavage as this one, although I did decide to sew a different lace from my sewing stash because the lace it has is super flimsy and easy to tear a hole in. I will be adding photos of the upgraded lace on this bra soon.
