I love, love, love the purple with black trim!!! It's such a vibrant shade of purple with a red hue. Makes the black contrast really 'pop'.
As for fit, I'm finding this one is not very forgiving if you have an uneven size. Its' structured foam cups are squishy like a memory foam, but I quad on my larger side (especially in the center) and gape on the smaller side. However, the cups are probably too small anyway because the gore doesn't sit flat. Thankfully it's not uncomfortable, despite its' 3" height. (I'm not sure how they call it a plunge with a gore that tall!)
The straps are already on the very edge of my arms and do cause some friction. So I'm certainly afraid if I went up a cup size the straps would be cutting well into my armpits.
The band feels true to size and has a nice firm stretch. Fabrics are soft...no noticeable scratchiness. Seams do show under a thin top.
Oh, why does finding the perfect bra have to be SO difficult?

This is a very pretty bra, and for sure this colorway works better for me than the last Parfait I tried.

I didn't really expect the cups to work, because... ha... but this was the only size even close to mine with Prime shipping / free returns, so I figured it would be a good one to assess general fit. The band is okay, but on the tightest hooks it... also feels okay, so I might want a 30 in this particular bra. The cup causes quadding, which is expected since I am usually a 32FF to start with. The narrowness of the wires felt pretty good.

I noticed that the straps are too far apart on this bra. I usually don't, even though I have a tendency to push my straps further in -- it's there, but it doesn't often _bother_ me, if that makes sense.

I love this colorway. In the right size, I think it would make a pretty good t-shirt bra!

Nice projected, rounded shape. Straps were too wide for me. Cut into the front of my armpits. Lots of lines so wouldn't be good under a t-shirt or thin shirt.

Floral Shimmer (SS16). Cups too big. Straps too wide. Nice projected shape. Band seems TTS. Two seams inside the cup. Straps between 0.5 and 1 inch. Will try a cupsize down and see if straps not too wide for me. Right now this is causing the cups to buckle out further and be even more too big.

Beautiful, just doesn't fit well in the armpit.

This bra is one of my favorites, even though it has some fit issues. The band is very stretchy. I've had it less than a month and I'm already wearing it on the second hook. Conversely, the wires are very wide for my narrow roots, extending well into my sides under my arms. If I bought it again, I would go down a band size but maintain the cup size.

The boning in the wings does creak at times, but not alarmingly so. All of the wires are well padded and don't poke or pinch.

The cups are very open on top. I am fairly even, but have such soft tissue that FOB cuts fit best. This bra does not disappoint, giving a slight "cakes on a plate" look without quad boob.

I can and do wear it under heavier tshirts, but thinner or fitted tshirts would show off every seam.

This bra lifts very well. Of all the bra's that I've tried, this one lifts me the highest. The top rim is tighter then the then the rest of the cup and cuts in on me a little bit on my larger breast. I have even fullness so this could be a problem if you're full on top.The black ribbon details on the cups show's though a t shirt, I don't mind. This bra gives a slightly pointy look, not extreme but most people seem to prefer a more rounded look.

Bra is pretty, lightly lined. Cups are full coverage. Once I got the bra on, I noticed gaping at the top of the cups and the center gore was poking me in the sternum. I could probably make it work by shortening the straps, as the gaping isn't terrible, however, the poking of the gore is very uncomfortable. I was also able to hook onto the second (middle) hook, however, expected as it was previously used.

Edit: A few weeks later, randomly tried this bra on. It fits - for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. The cups are good for my projected/conical shape.
