This bra fit well BUT since the top of the cup is elasticized and my breast tissue is soft, it's not a smooth along the top, it digs. Not uncomfortable but not flattering. If you have firmer breast tissue give it a try - it's a beautiful material and a sexy cut. Beware the embroidery is lumpy under a t-shirt or silk top though.

Classy and sexy look with delicate embroidery, works on me as a petite. Having tried a few other SP sheer demis (Celeste, Wish), I think this one is more friendly to shallow-ish, taller shapes. In fact, this was a better fit than the Delice sheer plunge. The cup material has a bit of stretch. The top edge of the cup doesn't cut in, and I don't end up with wrinkly fabric. Band is on the firmer side for SP, and while the straps aren't fully adjustable, they have enough to shorten quite a bit, so good for smaller frames. The smaller scale of the lace and embroidery also ... helps to flatter petites. The cups are close enough together not to be uncomfortable for me, but the wires come up a little past the gore and have some lacy bits on the ends that can be a tiny bit scratchy. Straps are relatively secure for a balconette, but may be a bit too far apart to stay put all day on narrower shoulders.

As a bonus, the matching boyshort panty sits above the hip crease, so it isn't as restrictive as some other boyshort bottoms.

Simone Perele bras are always gorgeous, with soft, elegant lace and delicate styling. I love the look of these bras, and I had always wanted to pick one up. This style is the first SP I've tried, and luckily, it's the first to fit! The embroidery on the cups is pretty and delicate, and isn't scratchy as you may expect from other brands. I can see why these bras are expensive, as the materials and construction are much better than others you find on the market.

While all SP bands are very stretchy rather than firm, I've found that there's a lot of variation ... in how they measure. This particular style is a standard SP band with narrow wings, but it measures on the smaller side, so it works. It can ride up if I'm not careful, so I need to make sure the straps are not adjusted too short.

Simone Perele is no stranger to strap detailing, and this style has skinny twin straps on the front embellished with chrysanthemum embroidered medallions on each strap. The back of the strap is a standard 1 cm strap, but I did not have much room to shorten this. I was left with about 1 1/4" room to adjust, so potentially the straps might not adjust short enough for someone shorter than me.

Cup-wise, the measurements are very similar to my other SP unlined demi cups, but are more forgiving in the fit. Compared to other brands, these cups tend to have a deep U shape, and run narrow and tall. This particular style is cut a bit shallower than Promesse and Amour, and is not quite as tall as Amour, so it's more suitable for my shape. The stretch tulle cups stretch with my shape and fit nicely to my body. Compared to the other styles, the binding at the top is much narrower, with 1/8" elastic, so it's not as tight and closed off. The interior of the cup has a tulle panel that acts like a sling. The cups give a good rounded shape, but are most suited for breasts that are narrower. I think this style could accommodate a wider range of shapes and should work for a number of different shapes.

This bra is a really nice shape for me, and would be an excellent fit if the band were a little shorter or if it came in 28DD. However, I am happy to say that it works for me!

I still haven't quite found a bra that truly fits, but this was the first unpadded bra I put on that was actually close and comfortable. Now I think it's just a very forgiving bra. I purchased the bra in turquoise on sale.

This was my first "luxury" bra. The band fabric feels amazing. I have sensitve skin and the mesh cups do not irritate me at all. The embroidery details are cute. However, it isn't quite my style, and I personally would not pay full price.

For reference, my breasts are conical, center full, FOB, close set, slightly wide, tall roots.
The band is very stretchy, so definitely size down ... at least one band size. I did not size down, and I can easily stretch it to fit my hand under the band.
I don't think this is a very supportive bra, at least at this size range.

Wires -
The wires are shaped like a C, thin, and flat, and the wire channel is padded comfortably. I did have to try to bend the wires above the gore away from my sternum, but the gore has been comfortable since (I have some issue with my sternum and have always avoided any wires there, so this is a major plus). I prefer to push the wires through the wire channel away from the center, although they don't seem to stay.
I think the cup width is slightly too narrow for me, but it isn't painful.

Cups -
The cups themselves are sheer stretch mesh with embroidery, with a 2nd small support mesh panel along the side, and one vertical seam. The embroidery/lace extends past the seam at the top of the cup, and doesn't typically lay flat.
The seam along the top of the cup isn't tight on me. However, I have had days when it slightly cut into to top of my larger side, so I don't think it'd fit tall roots and/or those with a lot of upper fullness.
I think this is a a good cup for FOB. I usually see a bit of empty space at the end of the vertical seam, where it seems to want a just a bit more tissue, but not a ton more (likely because I'm conical, and it isn't supportive enough/mesh is too stretchy).
I get a lifted, pointy shape while wearing this bra.

I scored this for a great price from Amazon. Unfortunately, this is all wrong for my shape. It's such a beautiful bra, so I was greatly saddened by it.

The wires are too narrow, the cup too projected and closed on top for me. The band was too loose (I could easily hook on the tightest) and the straps could not adjust short enough for me. I'd heard that Simone Perele bras ran narrow, but I hoped anyway. Nope.

The silver embroidery is more of a dark gray, but I think it rather depends on the lighting. In my camera flashes, it did appear a shiny silver. The cup ... is a stretchy mesh lace, and it looks decently sturdy. I was afraid that it would be super delicate, but no, it's quite well constructed. The flower on the straps are also sturdier than they look.

I think that if I had more projection, I could alter the bra (bend the wires, remove the elastic across the top) and force the stretchy cup to work for me, but I just don't. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Update: I did bend the wires, and it fits better now, but I still get wrinkles at the top of the cup.
