I actually have worn this bra a decent amount. It's a little bulkier than I'd like but mostly because it's a little big and I prefer non molded bras. This creates good cleavage but not popping out of a person's shirt. And parfait bras have less gapping, maybe the cups aren't as tall, as I typically get with molded cups. The gore does start stabbing me at a certain point.

Very stiff band, which I love. Looks great under a polo shirt, but the top, where it connects to the straps, is a little high to wear with a chemise.

I really like the style of this bra. The cups are probably not a perfect shape for me, I get a little gaping at the very top near the straps but it's not an issue for me. Wires are a good length but holy hell are they firm. It's probably the hardest wire I've come across. I was able to adjust the shape of the wire with my hands but for a second I thought I'd need pliers. The bra is a little too wide set at the top, not sure if that will be a deal breaker yet. The band is a bit tight, also. I really ... love the 3 hooks, I don't find it very often in my size range but I can feel the extra support, and it doesn't give me as much back pudge as 2 hook bras. Because I have soft tissue and this is a plunge, it almost looks like I'm about to spill out of the center. I'm not, though, and I actually like it because it actually gives me a semblance of cleavage which will be great for lower cut shirts. The straps are also very hard, which will hopefully lessen with washes and wears. All in all, very beautiful, mostly comfortable.

This bra's band wasn't as giving as other 30 bands I ordered. However, the rest of the bra fit well, so I purchased an extender. Setting it on the tightest hook of the extender made it perfect, and now that I've owned it for a while, it's stretched enough to wear without it. If I bend over, there is some spillage out the middle, but I'm guessing that's more of an effect of plunge style bra + close set/pliable boobs. Upright, my cleavage looks amazing. Ha.

I am 26", 33"...round, even, wide shoulders, very close-set but wide boobs.
The material is very nice and the cups are sturdy yet soft and flexible. I wish the cups had less coverage because it's pretty useless for my shape. Not low enough for low-cut tops. I heard the band runs tight in this brand and it's not terrible, but not tight enough for me to wear it on the regular. I like to sleep in this bra.
Seems to fit better now than it did when I first bought it, I think because more tissue moved into my boobs to hold the band down, as it was sliding up when I first got it. But it still isn't as supportive and parallel to the floor as I would prefer. A comfy bra though! No pain. I would recommend for real 30DD wearers and maybe real 28E wearers. But not 27" or below.

I can't really talk about how it fits, because I didn't learn about fullness, shape, or anything like that until I lost weight and could no longer wear this bra. I'm now a 32GG, and this band stretches out to a 36. It fits like a 36F.
It's a great basic, nude, t-shirt bra. I'd like to try it in a size that fits, because I can't say for sure anything about how it fits because I lost weight before I could wear it much.

Of all the bras that arrived, this seems to fit the best.
There is a slight float at the top of the gore, and I always (always!) seem to want a tighter band, but other than that it seems good. It is comfortable, but I wonder if my right breast will end up migrating out of the cup due to my scoliosis (it's pretty bad, as you can see in the photos...this is why I never, ever allow photos to be taken of me despite being much more covered up! Ha!). This is the only reason I rate the comfort as 'good' instead of excellent. Does anyone else ... have this problem?
The tops of the cups gap just a little bit, but it's a pretty small amount. I think my breasts are shallow, so that's something I'm accustomed to, however wrong it is. That said, they do seem to fit better (as does everything else) on the second set of hooks. Though...if you look at the side view (I've lightened these) there do seem to be some weird angled horizontal stretches! What is that?
The straps adjust as much as I'll probably ever need them to.
It is a beautiful bra, and seems very well-made (like my Casey). The band is nice and firm, which I definitely appreciate.

I've this and the 30DD, and can't really figure out which is the better fit. In the 30DD (http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dlvh7/), there's a lot of 'oomph', and I wonder if it is that I like about the smaller one.
So far as the E cup, the band is a fine fit and it's comfortable, but there's gaping at the top of the cups, as I tried to show in one of the photos. That's probably to be expected with a molded-cup bra for someone who is much fuller on the bottom, but it's bothersome to me, is bound to show through certain shirts, and is probably the other reason ... I prefer the 30DD.
Fit aside, it's a beautiful bra, per usual. I know some won't like the little dangly heart beneath the bow (or the bow!) but thus far I seem to have been restricted to boring bras, so any embellishment is good in my book!
TBH, I will probably send every single bra I bought back and try to start over again. :'( It's too bad, because I love the quality of Parfait bras!

This and the Freya Faye were my go-to nude bras back when I wore a 30F. The Faye was my favorite because I have moderate projection, but I wore this, the Jeanie, when I couldn't afford to show seams through my shirts. It worked very well and I found the bra very comfortable, just a little shallower than I'd like. At first that was very comforting because it reminded me of the Victoria's Secret bras I used to wear.
Now, this bra is just too small for me. It's still in excellent condition--it's been worn a bunch, so the label is totally ruined, but the bra band remains firm and the construction doesn't seem affected at all. Remarkably sturdy bra.
