At my old measurements(about 36" OB) I hated the fit of these bras but I've always loved the look.
I'm closer to a 28DD/28D-30C/30D now and lost a ton of upper tissue, so I think this would work wonderfully now. It's a bit closed on top, so not good for FoT shapes. I'm more even now, but "functionally FoB" due to my shape(tuberous/conical-so thin with lots of center projection).

This size is Unfortunately too large for me now. Wish I'd kept my tan and navy 28E as I recall that being smaller than this one. But yay, I think I can finally wear the Dessous! I just need a 30C or 30D. By the amount of wrinkling in this, I'm going to guess the former.

The band on this one is also larger, at about 32" stretched. It kind of hovers on my 28" ribcage. In my experience with this style, the bands have either been pretty tight or super loose(I have another one,same color, 30 band that stretches to 34").
Hopefully Claudette has more true to size bras now that some time has passed.


Would recommend to more FoB,projected,narrow types. The fabric is a little scratchy in my opinion, but not enough to bother me. Would be more annoying to me in a band that was closer to my UB,I think.

  Love Claudette has been closed since the end of 2016! :-(
  I am incredibly sad about this as I love their bras. I now have a fishnet plunge, 28D, Dessous in 30D & 28DD, and two more of the other styles on the way. I'm grabbing them up as quickly as I can. There are some left on Amazon and breakout bras. Her room may have some as well. I know Prettyncharmeuse has a 28E and it's red so it may have a looser band than the black ones. I'll post pictures of my 30D soon, I have everything else about it posted.

  LeProfessor omg, I had no idea! That's so sad :( I have some in my cart on Amazon- I'll have to get them now.
  Ohh, I'll take a look, thanks for letting me know!
  That's such a bummer that they closed. :,(

  Btw, the wrinkles I see in this picture is not really bad for dessous. I see you don't have a lot of inner fullness like I do, so the 30D cuts into my tissue. I get these vertical lines/wrinkles in my 30D but i have taller roots and less outer fullness compared to my inner & center fullness. The cups are filled though! If you have any in your cart from break out bras through Amazon, I suggest grabbing those. Mine was literally here like 4 days after I ordered it!

  Hi Queequeg0925 I remember you! I never could get Claudette to work for me at any size... fingers crossed that this is better for you in a lower cup volume!

  Thanks for the review, Queequeg0925 . I always read with interest how size changes affect fit changes in beloved makes/models/colorways.

• LeProfessor that's good to know :) I have a few in my cart that I'll order ASAP then ^_^ there's a slightly different style that I've had in my cart forever. Think I'll finally order that too haha

  @Love4Pollinators Thank you :)

  @wendybien I remember you too! :D Thank you! I've always loved the style of these. Keeping my fingers crossed :)

  @learningaboutbras you're welcome ^_^ Glad it can be of some help :)
