One of the bras I bought while trying to figure out my size. I had to send it back in a rush, so unfortunately don't have measurements for it, but the fit is great for me (slightly shallow, slightly splayed, firm, slightly FoB; usually 30DD/E).

It's an amazingly pretty bra, and very sturdy too (one of my pictures is wonky, the colour is quite nice). Fit well all around--the band, while not as tight as I'd like, is wearable on loosest hook; straps adjust to right length, comfortable; cups are right shape and size; no gaping, fits my IM fold, I fill out everywhere. It gave me a nice ... round shape, too. My boobs are naturally firm (since they're small), so I rarely get any uplift in bras, but this one felt like maybe it pushed up a little bit?

Only issue is, the wire ends hurt like crazy as soon as I put it on. This is the literally the only bra that has ever given me this problem. Usually, wires are either okay or a little wide on me, but this one hurts like no other. It doesn't dig into my side tissue or anything, but it just really hurt my ribs. Sternum probably digs in, but I couldn't wear it enough to tell. Also, the wire is almost an inch too short for the channel, which is why the side of the bra is doing that weird indent. Others have this issue too, so it seems to be a design decision--but why?

This is the one bra that I'm very sad to have to send back, with how pretty it is. I own some other Fauve bras too, but those don't hurt at all.

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.

7. Lucia

This lined half cup bra gives me classic cakes on a plate cleavage. The color, called Butterscotch, is a clear, honeyed version of beige. The cups fit extremely well, as most of my Fauve half cups do. Fauve's half cups are on wide and deep, compared to some other brands' half cups. Each cup has two vertical seams. My theory is this helps make the shape very round. My breasts are round, even in terms of top or bottom heaviness, and neither shallow or projected. Out of the dozen or so Fauve half cup bras I've tried, only the blue Lucia and the Pearl have been too deep. ... All the others, including the unlined ones, have been great fits.

The fit and finish of Fauve account for the line's higher end pricing. There is no break-in period for these bras. Nothing scratches, pokes, or presses unevenly. This is a nude-for-me bra, but it's not boring. The cups have tonal embroidery pattern that resembles stylized leaves. There are flat, squared off bows at the gore and straps. The fully adjustable straps have a ruched texture that prevents slippage. The wings are mesh. Elastic at the top and bottom of the wings do not dig in. The tension created by the elastic doesn't overpower the tension of the mesh in the wings. Unlike some bras, this one doesn't cause back fat..

If I had a decent amount of space between my breasts, my boobs would be completely happy with this bra. The center gore is not high for a half cup bra, but my breasts require an abnormally low gore to be comfortable. I can comfortably wear this during a 16 hour day, but wearing such bras day after day causes semi-permanent bruising on my sternum.

Band runs loose, but not super dramatically so. Might be able to fit a 32, but would also definitely work for a 30. I could fasten it comfortably on the tightest hook, but get away with the middle without it riding up. Cups are true to size, but with the band looser and the straps loosened, I could get it to work on my 30G self. I love the subtle detailing. This and the Fauve Aurelia Padded Half Cup Bra (0191) are my first ventures into Fauve, and I'm definitely not disappointed in the quality and attention to detail!

Another gorgeous bra from Fauve! It stopped fitting me long ago (am now 28H/30GG), and has been sitting in my closet for a while. It gives me really horrible quadboob (I'd say a good 1/3 of my boobs pop out of the top now), which is unfortunate. It's very soft and comfortable with many delicate and pretty features on the cup. Love the little bow in the middle and the lace around the edges. The only annoying part of this is the lace is on the bottom band as well, and sometimes it gets caught and goes under the bra or moves on top of the wire. Easily fixed with some stitches in a few places if it's that annoying (I left it alone myself). In general, I am a big fan of Fauve, I just wish they made my size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
