Me: wide rooted, tall rooted, very close set. Somewhat shallow. I need a wide cup that is open on top with either a very low gore, or the rare extremely narrow gore.
I can't believe how soft and stretchy the cups on this bra are. They feel like a softer neoprene. This bra is a bit more closed on top than I'd like. However, the material is so pliable and soft, I couldn't resist and I think it will mold to my shape. I hope it will. I love the lace and applique detail.
Edit: this material is what they call a "spacer bra". I love it in this heat. Breathable yet seamless and provides some lining
The appliance and lace on the deep black is a fantastic combination. Hope the molding happens as you desire :-)
Might be worth looking at their other bras too - I tried so many, but I'm not sure which may work. Their '3d' bras are all the same material. The Andora is a similiar cut and can be found pretty cheap on eBay. Caresse and Carresence are more of a plunge cut with more coverage.
Hope it works out, such a comfy bra :)
Applique. Autocorrect strikes again ;-)
Thanks @annabellyn! I am all about the plunges, so I'll try that
I'm projected w a bunch of center fullness so the only way I could get the Caresse 3D to work was by "hacking" the fit outrageously... got a 30G, which was much too big for me in overall cup volume but had enough depth near the gore, but the tight band pulled the outer cups flat and got rid of the extra space there. (Yes I know kind of insane but it worked and I didn't have any other good unseamed plunges and needed one that day.) All this to say, for someone shaped like you it could be quite a nice shape match because it is pretty tall at the outer cup compared to this design!
I've been looking for this bra for so long after I fell in love with it in a too small 65E. The 65F fits much better! It's about as good as I could've hoped for - the band seems a tiny bit tighter than other SP bras like it, I fill out the cups but do not quad, the wires aren't resting on my tissue. The straps and band of this size are noticeably thicker and more supportive.
I notice on this bra that there seems to be a 'bubble' at the edge of the top of the cup. I've experienced this in other Simone Perele bras too - ...where the top seam the cup will lie flat on your breasts, but there will be a slight bubble of empty space between the top seam and your breasts. I believe it is just how these bras are constructed. You can see it happening in some of the pictures. This usually gets worse for me when I am sitting or slouching. It doesn't bother me too much standing up, and isn't noticeable under clothes, so I much prefer it to quadboob.
Overall, I'm in love. I've missed this level of comfort and how thin and breathable the fabric is. I wish the bra wasn't white, but i can deal with it. Read more 111 more words
I love these Simone Perele bras. They are so darn pretty. They actually have decently narrow cups with projection. The gore almost almost tacks. So close. I might keep it anyways. The details are so delicate and sexy.
This is a most comfortable option for shallow-average breasts. The no-gore design is exceedingly comfortable to those of us who loathe wires sitting on our tissue.
Although Simone Perele recommends sizing down in this model, I wouldn't recommend that for projected breasts. Literally, I could not fasten this bra and 29" is sufficient stretched band length for me. Simone Perele's website recommends a 30F for my measurements. Their size recommendation coupled with the "size down" recommendation for this model lead me to conclude it is a shallow bra.
I liked these materials and design enough that I ordered a replacement two cup sizes larger. Because the size offerings ...are limited, I'll be altering the replacement bra's band (36E). Familiar tale for my bra fitting journey... And, considering the 7.75" cup height of the 30F, I'm curious how tall the 36E cup will be. Absolutely, I do not need more cup height. When you are very short-waisted, center-full, close-set, and omega-shaped, you become willing to accept the unacceptable (i.e. 36" bands on a 28" underbust). Sincerely, these fit characteristics desperately need more options!!
Without the laces this is a simple bra, but the geometric lace along the length of the band and the Guipure-diamond-lace strap design elevate this bra several levels. I appreciate minimalism, and this bra seems minimalist with flair. Like annabellynn, I would not pay $78 for this bra. The replacement was $15 on Amazon. Certainly, it is worth that amount if only for the no-gore-wire design. Add the soft materials and intricate lace and I might pay $40.
The fabrics are exceedingly soft and delicate. There is absolutely no way I would add this to a washing machine delicate cycle. The lace is too intricate for more than gentle hand washing....ever. This is just a forewarning to those of us who sometimes use a washing machine. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />
I hope to see many more wire-free-gore designs soon! Thanks to annabellynn for finding this bra and adding data!! Read more 229 more words
I saw this NWT on eBay and had to try it. I'd say it is much more similar to current models like Caresse, but the cups are taller and deeper. The wings are wider and the band might be slightly tighter. The beige color is darker.
The bra fits me better than the modern SP bras, but after a few wears I'm realizing the band is still too loose. It doesn't ride up or shift around, which is my main criteria, so I'm still not sure I'll keep it. I'm also seeing that the cups are too tall and wide. They are uncomfortable, but I love the spacer foam.
This bra disappointingly features the same large band as many similar Simone Perele bras - I keep hoping to find one that is a bit tighter, as I believe my Revelation wasn't so loose when I bought it originally - 1-2 years of wear did that. I remeasured my underbust, wondering if I could possibly be closer to needing a 28" band and if that could explain the loose band, but nope. When I inhale, my underbust measures comfortably at almost 32"! Comfortable tightness is about 30.5", super tight actually is like 27.5" ... But I rarely wear my bras that tight.
I'd say this bra is a ...lot like the Andora, but it seems softer and less rigid than my black Andora was. The difference is the cute details with the straps, the accent lace color. The straps aren't fully adjustable, so that sucks. The cups seem a bit narrower than the bras I'm currently wearing. The cups are still wonderfully thin and soft.
I have an issue with both these bra models where there can be a small bubble of empty space at the tops of the cups (though the top of the cup lays flat), but later there can be a bit of quad-boob. I'm not sure what's up with that.
Overall, it's the same beautiful bra I fell in love with Simone Perele for. It's so soft, so comfortable. The materials feel so luxurious. I want to keep it, but I know the band will be too large. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 149 more words
This bra is the equivalent of a UK 30E, but is sold as a 30F in the US.
I'm more projected and usually wear UK 30DD, so was hoping that by sizing up in the cups there would be enough depth. There is, but the wires are much too wide for my narrow roots. The shape is slightly flattening for my projection, but this would probably be a great bra for anyone who is shallower and needs wider wires. The band is stretchy, but supportive. [sizing: UK D=D, UK DD=E, UK E=F]
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.
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’s going to say it fits, which technically it does, I guess, except that the straps are too wide set and dig into my armpits. So, as usual, I’m sending it back.
Lovely looking bra with good projection. The straps on the 30F are significantly sturdier than the 30E (those are quite thin). The band on the 30F is also a full inch longer than the 30E, which I did *not* like.
My shape: close set, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
I like this bra well enough for a moulded cup, it's smooth under shirts and feels better than what I was previously wearing. At first I wore this size with an extender adding an extra hook for it to feel comfortable, after a couple of wears the band stretched nicely and I can now wear it on the loosest hook. I also like that it seems to be somewhat more projected than many moulded bras I tried on, so it escapes slightly under my IMF line, but still feels okay when I wear ...it.
What I don't like: the wires don't go through the entire wire channel, there's a little gap, so a little tiny bit of breast can escape on the outer side on the top (you can push the wire from the gore to the outside, but then you loose the straight gore tacking on the sternum a bit, it's a trade off). Very slight quad-boobs on the center as well, but it's not noticeable. I also wish the gore was just a tiny bit closer together for my center-full breasts, but overall the fit is good, so I'm keeping it. This is my first bra review, thanks for reading! Also thank you to Reddit's ABraThatFits community for helping me out.
Edit on Feb. 22, 2019: I wanted to edit this review to add more thoughts after having this bra a while and wearing it more often. The cups are a little too shallow for me, the wire marks are always about a finger width lower than my IMF (around 1.5cm or 0.5" in), so I do have to adjust the bra throughout the day up. The lace underneath the band also bugs me a little. Overall, I'm still keeping this bra and the black colorway because they are my best fits. I can see wearing it occasionally when I need a smooth look under tight dresses/shirts, but they're not as supportive and comfy as I'd hoped for all-day wear.
Edit on May 19, 2020: So it's been about 15 months since I purchased this bra and it's been one of my most used when I need a T-shirt/molded bra for light colored tops. This bra uses excellent materials since I have only just recently (since Jan/Feb) moved up to the tighter second set of hooks. The straps are still supportive and look nice and the spacer foam fabric is great on hotter days. The only problem I have is some slight discoloration near the armpit caused by one of my deodorants, other than this the bra looks excellent. Read more 335 more words
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.
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
OMG, I have never seen anything so ridiculous in my life! I sized down in the band, but this one fit on the longest hook, just the way it is supposed to. But the cups!!!!! It's crazy narrow and very projected, and with only one dart for shaping in the cup,combined with the 1/4" elastic along the top edge of the cup...my, oh my...can can anyone say "pencil tip"? This is worse than the 50's pointy look. Now mind you, I have a short, average root, and projected shape. That top elastic edge is great for short roots, but it quadded even on me. The cup was filled out but that one dart leaves a very unpleasant ending point. Too bad, too, because it is otherwise a beautiful bra.
The light, breathable cups are wonderfully accommodating for assemytry. The band, however, is very stretchy & doesn't offer much in the way of support. The shoulder straps are also disappointingly flimsy and only partially adjustable.
This bra worked well for me when I was smaller, but now I just need more support (and cup space) than what this bra can give me.
Construction & detailing is superb! This price point is definitely an accurate representation of the quality.
Sadly, this bra is too small for me. The gore doesn't tack & I get tissue splling out of all sides. The straps are also VERY wideset so no matter how far I tighten them, they still slip down. The band, for a Simone Perele, also seems tighter than the other models I have tried.
I really like how light & flexible the cup molding is. It almost has a minimizing affect which comes in handy for button-downs & dresses.
This would be my favorite bra.... if it actually fit. I love the color, the style and the design elements. In this size the cups are just a tad small, and the wire pinches on some tender point on my left side. (sometimes) I can only wear it at my smallest time of the month. The band is large, also, easily stretches beyond the listed size. My choice style of bra is a spacer, and this would be absolutely perfect if it was available one cup size larger, and maybe, one band size smaller.
The appliance and lace on the deep black is a fantastic combination. Hope the molding happens as you desire :-)
