What an odd fit.

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.

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.

I thought European sizes are supposed to be standardized?

Before I ordered this, I read other reviews that said this bra stretches quite a bit, thus runs big in the band & then small in the cup. THEY WERE RIGHT! I normally fit best into a 32 band, so with the reviewer's suggestions, I ordered a 30. The 30 fit me just snug enough but not too tight, on the longest set of hooks . I also ordered 1 cup size up...I think I needed 3! The cups on this are so ridiculously small it is laughable. Quads everywhere...and I certainly don't consider myself large.
As for the fabric and such, it is a beauty: very pretty embroidery around the bottom front edge, it's soft, elegant and (I think) supportive.

This is the first Simone Perele bra I've seen in person and it seems like a well made, excellent quality bra. Unfortunately too big in the band and too small in the cup for me. I'd say it fits somewhere around a UK 30DD. I really like the cups being neither too thin, neither padded - it is a thin foam cup that gives shape and support, but not too thick. Since I started losing a tiny bit of weight, I might hold on to it for a while and see what happens. Should I shrunk into the cups, I still need to shorten the band.

I've loved the Revelation bra that I have in 65E forever. It is too small technically but I love it anyway. I was so excited to try a 65F, but this was a bit disappointing. I don't quite fill out the tops of the cups. (I guess I went from too small to too big.. quadboob to not even filling the cups.. ugh) The wires still feel a bit narrow. The material isn't nearly as soft or smooth. The band is a bit firmer, but that might just be because it's newer.

My shape: Teardrop with immediate projection, as well as super wide (wraps about to my shoulder blades) and tall (within 2 fingers of my collarbone) roots that give me all the problems Shallow ladies have, with firm tissue that fights back when smooshed and that almost meets (less than 1 finger) on my sternum.

I tried this on at Intimacy because they didn't have my size in the navy satin-stripe and lace Amour push up (a new color for autumn 2015). This is how it fit on the TIGHTEST set of hooks!

Sadly, the band runs quite loose in the whole line of Simone Perele, so "the smallest band you ... have" was still quite loose, and was riding up even while I stood in the fitting room. I would say it runs at least one size big, maybe more.

The cups fit similar to the 65F - Simone Perele » Amour 3d Plunge Bra (13R316) in Mint and Navy in terms of shallowness and wire width, but they are even smaller - possibly 2 cup sizes small.

As with the Amours I tried, there is very little nipple discretion, so while very comfy and soft, the fabric padding doesn't do much as far as that is concerned.

This is my newest bra right now. It fits very comfortably, just wish that the center fit up against my sternum and the straps would stay adjusted where I put them.

Not in love with the way the underwire feels under my arm, but it's fine other than that. The silhouette means that I can wear more generously open-necked shirts with it, though not anything that plunges too deeply in the center.

Very comfy, cups just too small for me which is surprising because I wear this size in the nude color.

This is a great bra, my favorite thus far. I had an issue with one implant bottoming out and this bra did a good job supporting both breasts and concealing any differences while I waited for revision. NOTE that the nude color (not called nude) has longer lace on the straps, and therefore less adjustable strap. I had to have the straps shortened. The black color had shorter lace on the straps and I had no issue. The lace back of this bra is stretchy and good for me because I tend to wear tighter knit tops and the 28s that I should wear often give me a slight bulge that I don't like.
