Simone Perele bras are always gorgeous, with soft, elegant lace and delicate styling. I love the look of these bras, and I had always wanted to pick one up. This style is the first SP I've tried, and luckily, it's the first to fit! The embroidery on the cups is pretty and delicate, and isn't scratchy as you may expect from other brands. I can see why these bras are expensive, as the materials and construction are much better than others you find on the market.
While all SP bands are very stretchy rather than firm, I've found that there's a lot of variation ... in how they measure. This particular style is a standard SP band with narrow wings, but it measures on the smaller side, so it works. It can ride up if I'm not careful, so I need to make sure the straps are not adjusted too short.
Simone Perele is no stranger to strap detailing, and this style has skinny twin straps on the front embellished with chrysanthemum embroidered medallions on each strap. The back of the strap is a standard 1 cm strap, but I did not have much room to shorten this. I was left with about 1 1/4" room to adjust, so potentially the straps might not adjust short enough for someone shorter than me.
Cup-wise, the measurements are very similar to my other SP unlined demi cups, but are more forgiving in the fit. Compared to other brands, these cups tend to have a deep U shape, and run narrow and tall. This particular style is cut a bit shallower than Promesse and Amour, and is not quite as tall as Amour, so it's more suitable for my shape. The stretch tulle cups stretch with my shape and fit nicely to my body. Compared to the other styles, the binding at the top is much narrower, with 1/8" elastic, so it's not as tight and closed off. The interior of the cup has a tulle panel that acts like a sling. The cups give a good rounded shape, but are most suited for breasts that are narrower. I think this style could accommodate a wider range of shapes and should work for a number of different shapes.
This bra is a really nice shape for me, and would be an excellent fit if the band were a little shorter or if it came in 28DD. However, I am happy to say that it works for me!
