Beautiful lace! Sizing down in the cups was definitely a good choice, band on the tighter end of Simone Perele bands which can often be quite stretchy. Note that the band is quite thin at the back clasp and has only one hook and eye closure in this size (3 sets of 1 hook and eye total). I also own the 30DD (30E in simone perele sizes) which has 3 sets of two hooks.
The lace on the cups is extremely pretty. Not sure how I feel about the fringe around the top of the cups; it looks really nice when viewing the whole bra but when just the top of the cups/fringe peeks out under low cut tops it looks a little weird like your bra is hairy. The materials of the band are super comfy but it slides down a bit on me making the edge of the band roll inwards. The edge poking into my sides isn't as uncomfortable as other bands since the materials are super soft, but it's still not ideal. At least it keeps the band from sliding down more. All in all a very nice bra, well-constructed, and I will likely keep it. May run a bit small since I normally wear a 30E in Simone Perele bras.
Lovely bright red color lace. Cup just overall too big, I can't fill it. The wires are wide and seem pretty long (not sure it's because the cups are too big). I loved the cotton fabric that lined the inside of the cup, feels very nice on.
I am 5' 2" and have a short torso. I believe I have have narrow, close-set, full on bottom (FOB), center full breasts that are self supporting with immediate projection and short roots. I have had a very difficult time finding a bra that fits, is comfortable, and meets my everyday needs. That being said, this is one of the more acceptably fitting bras I've had thus far even though I measure and seem to fit best in UK 30FF or UK 28G. This Simone Perele bra seems to have deeper cups that can accommodate a fair amount of projection. I bought it from a boutique and was told ...the cups fit a full cup larger than labeled which explains why I can still sort of wear this bra despite the size not aligning with my measurements. I can't get it to stay in my IMF but there isn't a molded, padded, or otherwise lined bra that would accommodate the amount of immediate projection I need...I can live with adjusting this one. This bra has decent nipple coverage although isn't 100%. Closest thing I've been able to find that I can wear as a t-shirt bra. As short as I am I do wish the wires and wings were a bit shorter and that the straps were set in a bit closer. Things definitely get a little stabby under the armpits and in the tail of spence area after 4-6 hours but it's tolerable if you're not moving around too much. I do spill out of the middle a bit and the tops of the cups do cut in slightly but I can live with it and it isn't noticeable to anyone but me. Overall I'm happy with this bra...I just wish it wasn't discontinued and was made in another size that would more closely fit UK 30FF or 28G without such drastic changes in size scaling and construction. I have tried on other Simone Pereles and they become too tall, wide and lose their projection. Read more 226 more words
Much too big in the band, much too small in the cups! Which shouldn't have surprised me, but I get confused by Simone Perele's sizing. The "anthracite" color looks to me like. a deep blue-black, rather than dark gray (what I was expecting). Lovely bra, but I suspect it wouldn't be supportive enough even in my size so I doubt I'll reorder.
NB: Just recently found my proper size after years of buying too small! I was always a sucker for posh demi-bras, so my 1st Simone Perele was the gorgeous Amour unlined lace Demi-cup (13R330). Beautiful, yes - good fit for my shape, no: it created armpit fat chunks & dug into them. Being ski jump sloped, I couldn't fill any Simone full cups, but after bending the outside wires away from my body this 'big bust' demi works pretty well, is pretty & gives a nice shape. Yes, there is slight wrinkling on the top edge of one cup, but mostly it fits fine - not outstandingly comfortable but good enough. The band is substantial & a bit stiff, but feels like it will wear well.
The wires are very stiff & unforgiving, they felt tight. The outside edges where the cup turns into strap cut into me, & the cup wrinkled slightly along the horizontal seam. This piece felt stiff & tight, and wouldn't stay in place.
Love this bra- for some reason doesn't dig into my sternum like others- I have it in beige and purple/grey and both fit the same. I have been noticing that the band seems to stretch out faster than some other bras I have though, I think because the elastic is stretchier than in something like a Freya
Incredibly comfortable! Love the way the spacer cups feel when wearing and love that they are a soft grab rather than firm to the touch. Does not conceal headlights but that doesn’t bother me. Beautiful lace, details, stitching. Cups aren’t the prettiest but an excellent choice under a wide variety of clothing.
The Great Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try-On, Part 3 My shape: full on bottom, soft tissue, narrow shoulders/roots. Appearance: I find this bra to be sorta... blah. It's alright for an unlined black bra, but the lace design on top of the cups isn't really eye-catching. It's sort of a pinwheel looking floral effect, with embroidery that matches it that goes halfway up along the strap. The gore has a little bow with a charm? piece of shiny hammered metal? thing hanging from it; it feels cheap. Fit: All of that being said, the cups actually fit me pretty well, which is really surprising, since it's two cups smaller than my regular size. I'm not sure how this can fit me, unless this brand has cups that run at least two sizes larger. The band is also really stretchy, so keep that in mind if you are looking to purchase this particular bra.
Like the other Simone Perele bra I tried, this one is SUPER comfy. Love it. The cups are a teeny bit small on this one though, I could probably go a cup size up. But the foam cup material is super forgiving. Even though the fit is not *perfect*, it's really comfy and looks great under Tshirts. Definitely part of this rotation.
I had the band altered in the shop by 2"... but I'm upset that they sold me a bra that doesn't fit well- the cup is one size too small for me, and (I asked) they didn't have the next size up in stock but assured me this was the correct fit. It seemed OK in the shop but not after wearing a few times. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The wires were too narrow for me. They also dug into my armpits and the gore dug into my sternum. It was too closed on top and projected near the apex.
This is the perfect T-shirt bra! Comfortable, and the foam lined cups really smooth everything out under a T-shirt. I think this bra could work for many shapes as the cup material is stretchy and smoothing. It's definitely my best fitting and most comfy bra. One small issue is that I have a short chest, and the straps don't quite adjust short enough (adjustable part makes up about 1/3 of the total strap). I can easily sew it as I've done with other bras.
