Shape: mostly even, slight full-on-bottom. Small nipples. Average projection, wider-set, tall. Broad shoulders.
The first time I bought a Tamara was in a size 34DD when I measured as such. The uncomfortably tight band and the massive quadboob left a bad taste in my mouth for Parfait. While the structure was sturdy and the material very elegant, it was also totally unwearable. Fast forward to now.
I measure as a 32G across the board and rarely have shape issues causing me to sister size or size up. With Parfait I've learned to work around their crazy sizing by sizing wayyyy up. A 34G for me it is.
The Tamara ... is pretty much a bedroom bra if you buy it in your usual size. It is very shallow to push your boobs up to high heaven. The actual cups end about half-nipple height and the rest of the nipple is covered by some lacy stuff. The material is satiny and romantic. The boyshorts (which I haven't gotten yet) are of the same material and so the set is very sexy and coordinated.
However, the 34G doesn't really fit like an impractical bedroom bra at all. In fact, it fits pretty awesome. It lifts and separates, but not drastically so. The band is not very stretchy and has long wings, making a 34 feel very sturdy and supportive. The cups are short, but don't cut into the boobs, creating a fairly smooth curved shape. The straps are a little farther apart than most bras, but that is standard for most Parfait bras. It's as comfortable as any of my other bras.
Granted, I can easily make this into a cleavage-fest simply by adjusting the straps ultra short.
All-in-all a good second impression.
