East-west look, which causes the illusion that the cups are too small. (There is enough space in the cups for my tissue, but the cups pull me to the side and the elastic band then cuts into my breasts.) No real lift. And the band is ridiculous -- as you can tell from the measurements, it's MUCH more of a 34 than a 32. Even on the tightest hook, there was no support to this bra at all; the straps immediately dug in hard, and when I loosened them the illusion of support evaporated.
It's pretty, I'll say that for it, but boy do I ever expect more for USD$99. I have gotten much better bras for $30.
This bra fits like a glove! Happy claps! I love it. Comfortable, smooth, high quality fabric, gorgeous color. No cleavage in it--just a nice rounded shape. Perfect every day bra. The material is like nothing I've ever felt before. It is not foam, it's not sheer...the tag said it's like a second skin. When I lightly touch my finger to my breast with the bra on, I can feel my finger.
Simone Perele's Caressence Shaped Full Cup in 65F is apparently equivalent to a UK 30E. That explains why the wires are too narrow on the sides. The extremely comfortable spacer foam cups adjust to one's shape, which explains why I don't quadboob, but the profile is flattened.
The center gore is too high and wide for my breasts, which have less than a pinky width between them and even less in a properly fitted plunge bra, which Simone Perele's Caressence Shaped Full Cup is not.
The color is called Peau Rose, and it is beautiful. It works as a nude for many people, including me, but is so much nicer than the grayish tan color so common in lingerie. The clear beige color has a delicate, pinkish undertone. I wish all nude-for-me bras were this color.
It should be noted that Simone Perele uses a different measuring system (https://www.simoneperele.com/i13/size-guide/information.html). They skip DD entirely, so I think this bra might best equate to a 36DD UK rather than a 36E UK (though the tag does state E 36). I don't really know.
This bra is super comfortable. This is the first bra with a taller gore that has not bothered me in the slightest (I'm at about 6 hours of wear currently). It basically feels like the gore isn't there at all. Which is a good thing!
Unlike many lacy unlined bras I've tried, this bra has a band of ...elastic at the top of the cup. This could be an issue if you are VERY full on top, or if you have firm breasts. Mine are very soft so they basically listen to whatever shape I tell them to conform into.
The band material is not quite as stretchy as my Curvy Kate unlined bras, but still pretty stretchy.
As for the shape, it's not the most flattering I've ever seen. The cups tend to pull my breasts out towards the sides, which makes them look smaller than I prefer, especially on my frame. Without a shirt on, they appear a bit pointy due to the one vertical seam running up the center of the cup. With a fitted t-shirt they are easily rounded out, but still seem a bit pointy. The pointy-ness is exaggerated on my smaller side
Overall, I love the comfort of this bra, it'd be great for everyday wear, but probably not a great figure-enhancing bra. Read more 164 more words
One of my most comfortable bras as far as cups and underwire go. Molding is really soft and definitely conforms to my body shape more than some other molded cups. The detailing is very pretty, yet the bra is completely invisible under a t-shirt.My only complaint is that the straps are too far apart for my frame and frequently fall off my shoulders.
The band in this bra is very very stretchy and loose. This 30 felt like a 34. I had it altered down to a 27in band and it still feels too stretchy. Since I didn't get to measure this bra before it was altered, I guessed 24 for the band length. The straps are convertible which is nice, and the lace on the side of the cups does not show through even tight shirts. The wire does not come up high at the sternum or at the sides. The fabric on the seam at the top of the cup is really firm so it digs into the tissue giving me the quad-boob effect. The fabric there is also irritating to my skin. Overall it's a good bra, but if you want to buy it you have to size down in the band by two sizes or so.
This bra is nearly as perfect a fit as I have come across so far in this journey. It's a very pretty bra. It sits flat where it is supposed to. The band could be a bit more snug. If Simone Perele made a 30FF/30G it would be positively perfect. Maybe someday....
The bra is soft, the cup, though molded, is what I would consider lined, so if the t-shirt is thin and the air is cool, you might show through a bit, but not outrageously so. Overall, I really like this bra!
For now it is my best fitting bra. It fits my bigger breast better and has a bit of empty space at the top on my smaller (no gaping though). But as it is moulded bra - I could not expect a better fit. The apex is in the right place, gore does not poke me or leave angry marks on my sternum after wearing it (and this is actually the main problem for me when wearing correct size bras). Band it not too tight but stays in place. A few things that could be better. Straps are quite wide set - if I stay crouching for longer period, ...I could feel them digging into my armpits (I don't seem to notice that in normal position). Also - the shape of how the wires are bent does not exactly match my shape. When I take off the bra after wearing it for some time and look at the marks that wires have left - they are not completely in my imf. Markings on the sides and the centre (going down from gore) seem to be in place but the very bottom of the cup seems to be a little lower than my imf. Finally - as this is multi-position bra and you can make straps cross at the back, this takes away of how tight you can make the straps. It does not seem as a problem for now but it might be as I am already wearing straps as tight as possible. Read more 144 more words
This bra has roughly the same dimensions as any Freya Deco 30D I ever tried. It feels more like a 32B than a 30D. The cups are shallow, narrow, and much too closed on top for anyone FoT or even, so I would only recommend it to people FoB with a narrow root. Pros: The gore is low, good for close set breasts, the cup material itself is very soft, straps well spaced, details are pretty Cons: Cups much too small, band too large, personally find the lace on the band too itchy
Very comfortable and works with my relaxed, bottom full breast shape. Smooth under clothing and the straps are wide set enough to hide under wode neck lines.
This bra fits deeper than most, so I need a cup size smaller than my usual. The wires accommodate narrower roots too, so the first time I wore this bra I found the outer wire painful because my "scoops and swoop" wasn't adequate. Since then I've been paying extra attention to the swoop and scoop when I put it on, and I find it super comfy with no digging. The cups are lightweight and breathable. Great for someone with all their breast tissue up front.
Comfortable after a few weeks wear. When I got it the inside top of the cups were quite scratchy and left faint rashes. After some wear/washing the issue has gone away. A few months in I'm now having to adjust the straps regularly though, I'm not sure of the adjuster is loose or if the elastic is stretching quickly.
Very pleased with this bra. As someone with breasts that straddle a thin line between even and FoT, it is rare I find a plunge that doesn't cause quadboob, but this is definitely perfectly shaped for me. The cups are not too wide, nor too wide apart, the band fits snugly, and the material feels great. More amazingly, this colorway (Peau Rose), matches my skin almost exactly, which is unheard of for me. The bra just disappears under thinner or tighter shirts. Only negatives: I wish the hooks were in columns of two, not one, to spread the band pressure out a bit. Smaller pet peeve is that the foam of the cup is so incredibly thin that a pointy nipple shape can easily push through, but that hasn't been an issue that shows through my clothes so far.
After loving the other Simone I got recently, I decided to try another one on. Luckily, I was able to find one on a really good sale. While the band is too large, I don't mind too much: once it stretches out, I'll just alter it so it's tighter again.
The lace is really comfortable, much softer than the bougainvillea color of the other SP. I like the lace detailing on the straps and the little bows at the shoulders. Overall, this bra is comfy from the store, so I expect it to quickly become a bit too large. Still love it, and couldn't beat the price.

This bra's measurements have been altered
Removed the center V wire and closed the gap between the undersides: 3.6cm -> 1.7cm.
Shallow and wide cups. Straps set far apart. Very narrow gore (I like that). No immediate projection… the apex is near the top of the cup, and it’s almost flat until that point.
I’ve been wanting to try this bra for a while, but the measurements scared me off, because 7.75-inch cup depth for a 65F (30E) is really shallow. Found it cheap on Amazon Prime, though, so I decided to go for it. I was disappointed.
The biggest disappointment is that the straps are just barely adjustable due to decorative appliqués. I couldn’t make them even close to short enough. Sure, enough, the measurements are correct: the depth is only 7.75 inches. The wires are also too wide for me at 5.25 inches. I should have been absolutely busting out of the cups, but I think they have an unusual amount of vertical depth, so my softer tissue was spilling out but in an odd way. Since I couldn’t tighten the straps correctly, it was hard to even figure out all of the fit problems. Oh, the straps were very wide set, too.
The gore is nice and narrow at .5 inches, so that was nice.
The fit of this bra is just strange to me. While the band stretches to 29 inches (my snug measurement), it felt extremely tight. The cups are very, very tall at 8 inches, but the cup depth is shallow. The wires are extremely wide for its size. The straps are not fully adjustable and are very, very long. Even at their tightest, they were quite loose. This is a bra of extremes.
This fits unlike any other Simone Perele bra I’ve tried, and I get why it was on $20 clearance.
It sounds like this is probably made of "spacer foam" - when you squish the cup fabric between your fingers, does it feel like there's velvet inside?
