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!
