I ordered the Eclipse online having never tried out Pour Moi bras before. The gore doesn't tack, yet the outer mesh layer bunches up some at the top of the cup. It's still comfortable, and is a very pretty mint green color in person.

I got this bra from an online shop in my country that stocks Pour Moi up to J-cup (they don't go any higher in any style). I decided to try their most popular style so I could get an idea of the sizing and fit.
The St. Tropez full cup is a 3 part cup construction that looks more like a balconette than a full-cup. It has quite narrow wires and they don't distort very much. The cups are deep but the most depth is at the apex so they can give a pointy look. They are quite shallow at the bottom and at the center.
My fit ... issues:
It's obviously too small in the cups. There is not enough room at the center and also on bottom and I get some quadboob in this bra. The band fits nicely and it's quite stretchy. I found that the bra gives decent support, not like a Panache or Bravissimo bra but better than CK. What I like best about it: the wires are just right for me! I'm surprised that this bra has such narrow wires! I don't know if I should try a 34J and check if the cups fit better but I would have to take the band in on that, since the 32 band feels already stretchy enough.

I think I remember years ago when people first started buying this on Figleaves they mentioned it ran very small in the cups. They are also a bit cheaply made IMO, I have one Pour Moi and the seam placement isn't exactly haute-couture-level haha. So, I agree this cup is a bit closed/ shallow for you but given our conversations about changing size and shape and the anxiety of sizing down, it's enlightening that you can now almost fit in a particularly small 32J cup volume!
I think if you used something to reinforce the band a bit, then loosened the straps more and took barbaric measures (i.e. pull like a maniac) to stretch the cup edging, you could probably get this to contain the whole boob and possibly improve the apex alignment situation (which is likely a bit responsible for pointiness).
AprilGoulding yes isn't it pretty!?
wendybien I faced my fear of too small cups and went with my bra calculator size of 32J. I think a 32JJ would be better but I'm also still at my PMS size. I can keep this until next week and see if it fits better once I'm at my "smaller" size again. You really think I could make this work? Or the 34J?
alisa if you're at PMS size yes I'm pretty sure it will be a workable situation at low tide! This really isn't far off. And the fact the wires are a good match is unusual enough to give it another chance next week!
I maybe expected this bra to run a bit small so I got a 32J (for reference I am able to wear a 32HH or 32J in the ritzy or a 30HH in the marcie) but this is definitely too big. the band seems fine but the cups are too big for me. So I am guessing this bra runs true to size or even a bit big in the cup. I like the quality and the look of this bra and I will be trying this bra in a 32HH.
