I knew buying this bra that it would be too small for me, but that was fine because I just wanted a pushup bra. I wear a 42GG normally and this is 3 cup sizes too small. I find I can work with it.

Nice bra very soft material. The band is fairly stretchy, but not enough for me to be concerned (similar to Natori or Freya stretchiness). It has 4 rows of hooks which is very nice for support and comfort. The top of the cups are pretty open so it's good for my upper fullness. One thing is the straps are not fully adjustable. It's not an issue for me, even though 'm only 5'2", but it may be a problem for some.

This bra is gorgeous! It has a pretty metallic fushia colored background with a light icy-pink lace overlay on the cups, along the front of the bra around the wires and extends a bit along the wings. The rest of the wing is made up of a very soft silky nylon fabric that feels wonderful against the skin. Everything about the inside of this bra is soft and smooth. The inside of the cups and straps are extremely soft and don't irritate. The cups are plush and padded in a graduated fashion, with the thicker padding toward the bottom to give a beautiful lift to the breasts. It gives a nice rounded shape and provides wonderful cleavage in lower cut tops. There is a pretty pink bow at the gore with a small crystal tied to each end. It has 3 sets of 4 hooks, which make it feel incredibly stable and supportive against the back. I love this bra! But sadly, it doesn't fit me.

This bra is gorgeous!! The materials are very pretty. It's a metallic copper color with black lace overlay that extends a little bit out onto the wings and along the front bottom edge, making it look very pretty. The rest of the wing is made up of a very silky soft nylon fabric. There are 3 rows of 4 hooks on this bra which help make it feel very stable and supportive on the back. The hook closure is slightly padded so it doesn't dig into the spine. There is a thin bow at the gore with a tiny crystal at the end of each side. The inside of the bra is super soft and plush against the skin. The padding is graduated, being thicker at the bottom and thinning out as it reaches the top of the cup. This really helps to lift the bust and give a beautifully rounded shape with excellent cleavage. This bra is a stunner! Sadly, it didn't fit me.

So tight! I am 27" around my ribs and this bra is super tight, yet claims to be a 30-band. Riiiiight! If you are 26" or even 24" you might want this bra. You may also like this style if your breasts are a bit further apart. The photo I listed with me wearing the bra is not fully swooped-and-scooped or else I would have to censor it. but even not fully swooped in, I cause intense wrinkling at the bottom because I am pulling the cups too hard across my chest--the cups are too padded for me and my close-set and solid breast tissue has no room ... AND the band is too tight so it creates a disaster. I love low cuts and padding but this bra screwed it up.

It's too wide open and padded for me. I love the plunge, though, and the wider strap placement was nice for me (no armpit bulge for the first time ever). Oh well. I really wish this bra fit. I tried it in 32-something at a store and it was still weird in the cups. Huh.

Recommended for: 24 or 26 bands, far apart breasts, maybe a 24DD/26D/DD. Check those measurements to be sure.

This is a 28 band if I ever saw one. Really firm and small band, and the cups (near as I can tell) are at least 2 sizes smaller than labelled. So, probably closer to a 28F UK. There is some depth after the pushup padding, but pretty much none at the bottom since there is such heavy padding. The 4 rows of hooks are pretty awesome, though, and the material is nice and sturdy without being scratchy.

My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.

This review is for the blush-nude colorway.


Holy wow, is this bra small. The 30G I bought new on ebay must fit a more typical 26 or 24, because I can't see how it would even fit someone at a 28, much less me. I wear 30s (and 32s in bands that run small), but this is ridiculous.

I honestly don't know how it fits, other than the cups are too small to be a 30G (nor a possible 30F or 32G, US) because I held them up to my boobs to check; it might ... have something to do with the 2 (!) sets of non-removable pushup pads (one on the bottom and one on the side). Also, I can only barely fasten it around my 26" waist, and that is risking some serious seam bursting - it definitely can't go any higher.

Update: I compared it to my new 28GG - Curvy Kate » Flaunt Bra (CK106) to see how much smaller it is, and you can see it in the photos - supposedly, a 28GG and a 30G should be fairly similar if you line up the underwires, but the Parisa is smaller by at least a cup or two. My guess is that it's about a 30F, so combined with the tiny band I would postulate an actual size of 26G, or even a 24GG.

As far as I can tell, the shape of the cup looks like it would be good for shallow and/or FOB boobs, because the apex seems high, but it's really hard to tell. Above the apex the cup is very short, so it probably wouldn't cut into tall breast roots.

There is a little bit of a dimple on the outside of the cup where the pushup cookies meet, but I don't think it's too terribly obvious. I like that it has 4 hooks, and it is a lovely plunge bra that seems to be well-constructed. Parisa's nude shade is also pinkish, which makes it just a little bit blush, which is pretty. On the whole, though? Good grief.

I asked a friend who is teeny to try it on. She wears 28s when she can find them but ought to be in 24 bands and said that it was a great, comfortable fit.

I heard this brand ran small in the band. Not this style! More detail later but boy was the band bigger than expected. I am not a true 30 band (27") but I generally wear 30s and they aren't as gappy as this. I think this one runs big for 30s even. I definitely need to wear it on the tightest hooks, which is odd because the other Parisa bra I bought with this one is ridiculously tight for me and can barely fit on the loosest row. It's so disappointing when brands vary so much in the band sizes. Makes me not want to buy from them again.

Straps adjust fully, comfortable bra. Padding is sexy. 4 hooks per row is nice but the band is too loose for me so that hardly matters.

Holy jesus this bra is small. If I thought my Japanese sized bras were too small, well this is EVEN smaller, if you can imagine that. The Japanese ones, I can at least close. Run away from this bra unless you're truly smaller than 28, or if you have extenders up the wazoo.

The Good:
It's very well made. Everything is smooth and silky, and if I could wear it, I bet it would be comfortable. Plunge and narrow gores are good for my close set breasts. Pushup padding adds a size, if you're into that.

The Bad:
The padding is heavy, so it cuts the cup size down. The cups seem to be the equivalent of 28E cups? The straps are also very wide-set.

The Ugly:
The band is way too freaking small. It only stretches up to 26, and it is very firm. I'm between 28 and 30. It doesn't even fit my sis who has a 27 ribcage. WTF was Parisa smoking when they labeled this a 30 band?

Updated on May 28, 2014 Flag this

Sizing nightmare!!! I can't even fasten the supposed 30F without a 4-inch extender, and I have a 28-inch ribcage (I wear 30-32 G-GGs for comfort). The cups are about the size of my old 38C bras and very heavily padded. I don't know what happened here, but it's either mislabeled or I've been duped.
Quality-wise, it's actually very nice. The fabric is smooth, the padding would probably give a good push-up effect if I could afford it (i.e. if I fit into the cups) and there's nothing on it that could be remotely itchy. I'm just massively confused as to how something with a 26-inch stretched band could be labeled as a 30.

This bra would probably work for someone with less upper fullness or firmer tissue than me. The elastic on the edges makes the cups pretty closed. The strappy gore is cute but too wide for me and gives an easy-west look.

The band runs really large so this bra fits more like a 34C. There is a ton of padding in the cups which makes for great cleavage.

Tons and tons of padding. Never fit me but if you want an extreme push-up in an F cup this might be the one for you.

It's a beautiful bra in new condition, with tags. I bought it from someone on bratabase and I hoped that the band would fit because the bra was so pretty, but it's very very small for me. On someone smaller it would be a lovely bra. It has a plunge design and lace-covered foam cups. The bra is a dark aqua with black flowered lace over the top

It's a very beautiful bronze/copper color with black lace. The cups are padded, not quite as much as a push up, but more than a t-shirt bra(?). The lace, while pleasing to look at was getting a bit irritating because it wraps around to the inside edge of the cup. But maybe that's because the straps were too tight?

The band isn't the tightest 32, I can wear it on the second column.

I love that it's convertible, so I can change the straps to cross the back.

This is a brand new bra with the tags still. It is a push up bra. Its marked as a 30DDD but fits way smaller, like a 30D.

This bra separates my breasts too much for my preference, and the gore is uncomfortable. The wires are too wide for me, however I think if I were to buy my actual size, this bra still wouldn't work properly. Something about the shape is just not compatible with my FOB breasts, I think. It was only $3 on clearance and I got it at the beginning of my journey into my new size but it definitely isn't a good fit.

Before I comment on this bra, let me just state that I'm a 28 band. And I've heard that Parisa tends to run small both in the band and cup, more so in the band. I normally wear a 32DDD in VS/Natori/Chantelle, so I first decided to give this brand a try in a 32G (in the Body Veil)...epic fail. The band was actually quite snug, but the cups were way too wide. So I figured this would be perfect in a 32DDD...not so much.

The band on this model was extremely loose on me, which I found really odd considering how snug the 32G was in the ... Body Veil. I think the cups would've been perfect (maybe just a hair too big) if the band tension was right, maybe not. The band's material was also a little bit scratchy. But still, it did give a nice lift and some decent cleavage. The cups were also too wide on this for me as well. But the strap placement was good and not too far apart. And I LOVE that Parisa uses 4 rows of hooks and eyes on their band. I'm not sure, but I think this bra would be perfect in a 30G/FF. I'm not even sure if those sizes are available in this model.

But overall, if you can figure out your size in this (as both models seem to run quite differently in size to one another), I can def see this bra as being a fantastic push-up!

First off, this bra is /incredibly/ gorgeous. The lace, split straps, and gore detailing are all so cute. It's also pretty high quality, which is what I was most worried about when I ordered it. The lace is lined with a comfy silky fabric. The stripe things at the gore are quite sturdy and made of the same material as the wire casing, and it has reinforced wings and a FOUR hook closure. That's enough reason alone to love it.

With that said, the fit is also pretty good. The band runs big (Maybe even a full size; it doesn't seem quite that big on me but my cup ... fit may be distorting it) and the cup small (at least a full cup size on my very projected breasts, but I think this is going to vary a lot depending on your breast shape). The wires are average width, maybe even a touch narrow, and the cups are shallow and open on the top. There's a line of elastic across the top but I was surprised to find that it didn't cut in or leave a line (any more than the quadboob justified).

The wings and strap positioning (though straps are very wide) work out just perfectly for my frame and tissue distribution, so I don't get any armpit spillage or squidge even though the cups runneth over. (As opposed to cuts like Cleo, where anything that could have been quadboob magically runs to my sides and back instantly.) I adore vertical seam bras, and this is no exception. It gives a beautiful round shape from the front, a slightly flattened side profile, and gorgeous mounded cakes-on-a-plate-style cleavage. Of course, that cleavage is to some extent because I should be in a 30G or even 30GG (which they don't make) instead of this 32F (32G U.S.).

Wow, where to start?! This bra was an EPIC FAIL!! Haha!! I knew that it ran small, and after reading so many reviews, I assumed it ran VERY small (in the band anyway)!! So instead of my normal 28G, I sized up and bought a 32G. It's a no-go!! Ironically, the ONLY part of this bra that fits is the band. The cups are entirely too wide, worse than my Tutti Rouge in a 28GG kinda wide!! They wrap around my back!!

All that being said, it seems like a nice, sturdily constructed bra. And I was able to hook the band on the middle row of hooks ... for a snug fit, and the 4 columns of hooks and eyes really make for a comfortable, supportive, "stay-put" fit!! The straps, however, are not fully adjustable, usually a problem for me. The wings seemed a bit tall as well. But the cups are just extremely too wide! I was worried if I ordered the 30G that the band would be too small, and the 32DD would be too shallow in the cups. But I think either one of those sizes would've fit better than this one!! I was still somehow getting major quad boob and my nipples were being cut in half, with a little "orange in a glass" at the bottom of the cups. I just don't know.

I think this bra was intended for a wider, shallower shape - the complete opposite of mine!!
