This is so comfortable. I haven't had it long enough to see how it wears in the long run, but I picked it out while shopping at Intimacy with some help from a fellow breastfeeding employee and it was instantly my favorite out of all of them that I've tried on. I am breastfeeding still and it folds down and comes back up nicely. My only complaint is I can't fill it out perfectly up top. It's a beautiful color (Chestnut) as well!

Straps are a little too wide (cutting in) but not terrible. Cup is nice and smooth, not too high. Definitely feels like the band is too big, and I think the cups are narrower than ideal. Might have to return this one.

I was looking for bras that wouldn't cut into the pectoral muscle and this DEFINITELY fits that case, hooray. It's not a perfect fit - shape of the cups is slightly too narrow, and I get an extra fold of lace on the top. It's way more lacy and transparent than I expected, hence the lack of pictures.

This is a beautiful bra that I bought so I'd have a beautiful bra without molding of any sort. It is very nice looking, but I can't think of what sort of clothing I'd wear over it. I like a little more shaping under clothes. It's meant to be seen! The top cup line slightly wrinkles because it is so thin.

This is a great bra, my favorite thus far. I had an issue with one implant bottoming out and this bra did a good job supporting both breasts and concealing any differences while I waited for revision. NOTE that the nude color (not called nude) has longer lace on the straps, and therefore less adjustable strap. I had to have the straps shortened. The black color had shorter lace on the straps and I had no issue. The lace back of this bra is stretchy and good for me because I tend to wear tighter knit tops and the 28s that I should wear often give me a slight bulge that I don't like.

Lightly padded, padding stretches with you. I have this in Ash Blue, a very pretty purply blue color. There is no line between the cup ending and your skin- good under tshirts.

Love it. Comfortable, looks good under t shirts or any shirt. I agree that the beige is boring, but that's kinda what I wanted for under my tshirts. Light padding stretches with you.

Really a lovely bra- however, I need a cup size or two bigger, the band is fine though. Too bad they don't have a larger cup size for this band :c

This is The One. I have this bra in nude and it's a little boring to look at, but it fits like a glove. It's the best and only well-fitting bra that I own. I'm tempted to order 4 more like it, but I'd like a little variety. I guess that's why I'm here. This bra can do no wrong. May my size never fluctuate from here on out.

I feel this fit better when I was heavier, probably more like a 32F in Fantasie or Freya (this would be a 32DD in those brands). However, it still feels pretty comfortable and gives nice shape despite there being probably a quarter inch between the underwire and my body. It's funny, if I really wrench on the band I can get the underwires to sit closer to my body (and there's no spill over at the top), but I don't think going down to a 30 band would be enough.
Pieced cup styles fit me much better in this brand, though the bands do still run pretty loose. I'd be comfortable in a 30 there, though.

I really, really didn't like this bra. The cups were too narrow, too small, too shallow and too close together. I wasn't really digging the weird "unstructured" soft cups, and the overall look, to me, was granny-ish. The band was too big, even though it was a 30. Maybe I would feel differently if it fit better, but I didn't like it at all. I've struck out with all of the Simone Perele bras I've tried.

I really like this bra but I think I should have bought a smaller band size. Slowly, it slides down about half an inch. Throughout the day, I find myself having to readjust its placement. As it slides down the bottom 1/4 inch of the cup isn't filled and lies flat.
When I bring the band higher and adjust the underwire, the bra fits tighter and the cups fit well. The only lasting problem is that the gore does not sit flat against my chest. I can easily fit my pinkie finger in the space.
This is quite a good strapless bra for me, though next time I will have to buy a 28 inch band.

This bra is very comfortable, however, the band is extremely stretchy. If Simone Perele made a 30 band, I'd go for it, but I think 32 is the lowest they go. The cups also seem very narrow, and it cuts off a bit of my breast tissue under my arms. The quality of the bra is outstanding; I only wish it fit me properly.
