The 30G of this fits me better even though the cup volume is supposed to be the same. I get a little in-cup quadding in the 32FF.

This is shockingly supportive, especially for a cotton bra. The band is firm, and the cups keep my breasts very, very still. From a support standpoint, I would not hesitate to use this as a gym bra (although it might not be *quite* supportive enough for running, but what is?). With that said, it is not the most comfortable. The straps are very close to the neck, which make them cut into my neck muscles and feel less comfortable than bras where the straps sit at the typical spot on the outer collarbone/inner shoulders. The band is incredibly hard to fasten, and I'm not sure how I'd do it without help.

I went up a side in this but I'm still getting quadding. Maybe this is just too shallow for me.

Love the close cup placement, my close-set breasts fit comfortably. I am just a tiny bit too full on top for the cups, with tissue occasionally bulging at the top and creating a slight quad-boob effect...only sometimes, though. Other times, it looks perfect.
I'm not a fan of the fabric. It's one of the soft cup bras that's made of two layers of thin, stiff, plasticky, semitransparent mesh. I'm very sensitive to synthetic fabrics, and this gives me low-level itch. I've washed it 2-3 times now, but still haven't managed to wear it for a full day.
Material: 58% polyamide, 38% polyester, 4% elasthene
T-shirt friendliness: Medium. The fabric is mostly smooth, with a bit of ruffle at the cup edge; this would not be seen except in a very thin shirt. The bright colors can be seen beneath thin or light-colored shirts.

I have a review of the nude/Biscuit color here: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dli7c/ I haven't noticed any differences between the colorways, other than the obvious (nude disappears better under light shirts, etc.)

I initially dismissed this swim top as too closed on top, but it turns out I was trying it in too small a size.
Positives: Cute pattern, smooth line along the top, soft-tacking gore, and soooo comfortable. I want to wear this as a day to day comfort bra.
Negatives: This bra gives me kind of a not-amazing-looking semi-minimized profile, and the cups and gore are a little too wide.

Wow, this is a fantastic-looking bra. I'm usually not a big lace fan, but the lace here is just so beautiful! Similar fit to the Fauve Evangeline. For me, it's on the shallow side.
Having tried several Fauve Padded Half-cups in 30F, here is how well they fit me, from best to worst. Better fits are deeper and/or more open on top.

Significantly too wide, also slightly shallow. A real miss with this one. I think I got this mixed up with the Dreamcatcher.

Overall, the fit here is good--it feels better than the other halter bikini tops I tried on in this sessions (Curvy Kate Starry 30F and 2 sizes of Cleo Lexie). It feels like a more substantial and thicker material than the others, and it's also a better fit for me. There are some minor fit issues. There is a small amount of gapping at the top just under the strap, where the bra is straight and my breast dips. This may be standard for a halter bra if you're not full on top; I didn't notice it with the other bras, but they were almost universally too small/shallow. ... The other issue, very common for me, is that the center gore lies about a finger width off my chest. A skooch more depth could have helped me, but this fit is definitely close enough for wear; I feel like I can swim and move around without losing my top.
EDIT 2 YEARS LATER: I have gone up a cup size and now have much more top fullness, and I get major quad-boob from this now - it's clearly too small in the cup. The band is still good, although I've also started wearing 32's as a rule (I have a 30.5" ribcage, so true 30's are too tight for me - but this is a stretchy band. Granted, it's also 2 years old now, but I have barely worn it - I don't swim often.)

Me: Projected, narrow, full on top, center full, soft, close-set
When I first tried this I was really impressed with the fit, but I've started to suspect it's too small since so very much of my boob winds up in the stretch lace section after I scoop & swoop. There's still a smooth line across the top, but I'm pretty sure your nipples are supposed to be behind the opaque part, haha. After finding the next cup size up to be too small in the Rose colorway, I'm thinking that the Blue Flowers colorway just has extra-stretchy lace which makes it easier to mask too-small-cup problems (and/or too-closed-on-top problems?) Still, this is a good enough fit that it's comfortable to wear while I look for one at least 2 cup sizes bigger.
