So, the band is a good length, but it's quite stretchy - probably the stretchiest band of any of my bras. I would get this in the 30 band size if it were available in my cup size, but it's not. So, here's my plan: Because the amount that it stretches is the main problem, I'm going to sew a regular (non-elastic) stitch across a small portion of the band on each side of the cups, so that part can't stretch. That should reduce the amount of stretch in the band, without altering the dimensions of the bra. Other than the super stretchy band, I really do love this bra. It gives a great shape and is ridiculously comfortable.
**Note: 32F for Simone Perele is equivalent to a UK 32E (SP does not have a DD size; their cup sizes simply go A, B, C, D, E, F, etc.)
Gorgeous colour and interesting pattern. The mesh was not irritating and the opaque panel covered my nipples for added modesty.
The cups fit well, however I had the straps shortened (reduced by 5cm) so that I could adjust them correctly. The back was too big, even after being reduced by two sizes.
Sigh. From a volume perspective, the 80E (one cup size larger) was a better fit, but the cup was too tall. This 70F is one size too small and still is too tall.
The wire is digging in under my projected breasts. And, my center tissue quads at the gore. Neither of these fit characteristics were present in the 80E. Sigh. I want this gore-less design to work.
The shape under a thin knit is amazingly round. I'm thrilled. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> The no-gore design is exceedingly comfortable. The materials are soft and effortless to wear.
I will examine this bra and attempt to identify an easy method to remove an inch or two from the top of the 80E; that I just returned to Amazon. Sigh. Geez.
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.
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!
This bra is lovely for up to an hour on me. After that point I realise the wires are a little too narrow for me, and I'm constantly wanting to swoop my boobs back out of my underarms. The cups themselves are really nice, so soft and mould to your shape with some stretch. The stretch though does mean I want to adjust them sometimes. I find the point where the strap meets the cup get irritating on my skin, it's a little rough. The straps themselves are a very firm elastic and as they are embroidered this may add to the firmness and difficulty in sliding the ...adjuster. This one was so promising on me, I would usually measure (by a bra fitter) as an 8F, but had to go the 10F on this one to get the width on the wires (which was ultimately still not wide enough, haha). And, as the band isn't quite tight enough for me, I'm wearing it on the tightest hook but still wanting to tug it down throughout the day. It's a pretty bra, but ultimately not for my shape.

This bra is so comfortable! I love how light weight and soft the cups are. I was recommended this one by the boutique I go to because the cups seem to mold to my uneven breast sizes better than most others. (left is about a cup size bigger...)
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.
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
A beautiful bra! Gorgeous lace on the double layer band. Comfortable amount of TTS stretch. (Wings are very tall.) Comfortable partial band in the front. Soft spacer fabric, tall cups. Good breathability for summer. (Does not hide headlights.) Gore is very narrow at the top; 2" at the bottom. Decent amount of center projection. Scallop patterned straps are fully adjustable. (Wide in front; kicked in, in the back.) The colorway 'Sand' (name on Amazon order) is a very pretty, neutral shade of taupe. (The name on the bag it arrived in says 'Muscade Skin'.)
Bottom line for me personally (short roots, short torso, center fullness, average width, average projection)... Fits well, except...wings are too tall and cut into my armpits; cups are too tall and buckle below the straps.
I bought this bra on sale. I don't think it's worth the full price because it is quite expensive and I can't say that the shape it gives to the breast is excellent (definitely not comparable to moulded bras or Prima Donna bras) even though it is very comfortable.
This is my favorite bra by far. It's soft and light, but also both supportive and pretty. My nipples do show through a bit if it's cold, but that typically doesn't bother me. My only problem with the bra is that the straps tend to slip down my shoulders, even when tightened. I think my frame may be too small for the bra. Otherwise, I love it!
I love the simple beauty of this bra. The material for the cups is amazing--it is super lightweight and breathable, but it still moulds without giving me (as I like to call it) robot boobs. My only issue is with the straps: they are just a bit too wide, so they frequently slide off my petite and narrow shoulders.
I bought this bra to fill a void: a simple, beige, moulded cup T-shirt bra. Unfortunately, I was talked into this bra by a sales woman and it just doesn't fit well. The band stretched out a lot, and the cups are just too small. It's a pretty bra, but just not right for my body.
I bought this bra brand new (and paid the full price for it too!) and I love it. It's comfortable and it looks great and fits even better than my other Andora (which I got used through bratabase).
When I received this bra it it was too small in the cups and seemingly too big in the band, to top it off the straps were too wide.
I've lost some weight since then and the bra now fits very well, even though it's still loose in the band it doesn't ride up, and now that the cups fit my breasts better the straps don't slip as much as they did before.
It gives me a great rounded shape and it's incredibly comfortable.
Lace, 2 part vertical seam cups, unpadded, unlined
The bad... Straps are too far apart for me. I don't have enough experience fitting my new boobs into bras to know whether I could change sizes to remedy this, I imagine it varies by brand? The straps stay put while I'm moving around, standing, walking, etc, but when I sit down they start slipping off my shoulders. The only other negative I can give this bra is that the lace will show slightly through thin/light shirts.
The good... This is now the most comfortable bra I own! It conforms to my shape without bullying my boobs like some molded/firm ...cup bras do and still gives a nice round shape under clothes. I have to wear a bra to bed for 6 months and I change into a soft sports bra at night, but slept in this one last night just fine. The band stays put but it does have more stretch to it than others that I have tried, which adds to the appeal for me.
I'll be moving the straps to fix the slipping problem, but this is definitely a keeper! Read more 84 more words
