I had the band altered in the shop by 2"... but I'm upset that they sold me a bra that doesn't fit well- the cup is one size too small for me, and (I asked) they didn't have the next size up in stock but assured me this was the correct fit. It seemed OK in the shop but not after wearing a few times. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I came across this bra deeply, deeply discountend ($20! Whaaaat!) in an absolutely stellar colorway (topaz, a nice deep turquoise, my crummy pictures don't do it justice). I said in my other review that it was a little ho-hum in terms of shape, but I think I was maybe underselling this bra a little. Sure, it's no megaboost pillowy hills of wonder, but it's definitely not part of your (grand)mother's wardrobe, either. The modesty is better than with an unlined bra (and honestly, I've given up caring much about headlights - we all have nips!) and it does shape without stiffness and has significant projection for a bra ... without seems in the cup. It's crazy comfortable, supportive, and completely invisible under a t-shirt. Very well-made, stellar quality. The lace is 'loose' on the cup, and shines when the light hits it; the bra in general is soft, lightweight and fleixble. This is a perfect everyday bra.
One consideration: though not a full-cup, and there's no wrinkling, there could be less cup on top for me. I'm unsure if a D would have been slightly better: the wires are perfect, and my larger breast needed a little readjusting, but I would have tried on a D had there been one. (I am a 65E in SP unlined styles but a D in the Caressence.) Band is tight enough for me - I've come to appreciate the support these bras give without having to be as tight as my Cleo's, say. Even a slightly loose Cleo is a horror show, my Simone Pereles just seem to move with me, even though the measurements and the stretchiness might suggest otherwise.

Topaz colorway

This would be my favorite bra.... if it actually fit. I love the color, the style and the design elements. In this size the cups are just a tad small, and the wire pinches on some tender point on my left side. (sometimes) I can only wear it at my smallest time of the month. The band is large, also, easily stretches beyond the listed size. My choice style of bra is a spacer, and this would be absolutely perfect if it was available one cup size larger, and maybe, one band size smaller.

This is a gorgeous and comfortable bra, great fit in the cups. Smooth shape, fairly natural. Comparable to the Andora, I'd say, in terms of fit. Band is loose-ish and stretchy (but not atypically so for SP) but not uncomfortable, wide enough to feel stable. Kind of an issue: the moulding, while it gives a great fit and is smooth and soft to the touch, doesn't do much (or basically anything) in terms of modesty. Your headlights will be out there! I was looking for a different colorway (all they had in the store was dark gray/anthracite) and more modesty so did not purchase. However, if it had been on sale... maybe. I haven't had SP bras long enough to determine how bad the stretchiness is over time. (If I can wear it on the second or third hook for a while then, the band thing doesn't bother me.)

I once heard this spacer bra had a tighter band than other SP models, but it came to me more used than expected and so the band is pretty big https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> should have asked for more pictures and measurements.

The cup shape is nice. The wires stay narrow and the cups aren't too tall. The straps are only half adjustable.

My shape: Teardrop with immediate projection, as well as super wide (wraps about to my shoulder blades) and tall (within 2 fingers of my collarbone) roots that give me all the problems Shallow ladies have, with firm tissue that fights back when smooshed and that almost meets (less than 1 finger) on my sternum.

I tried this on at Intimacy because they didn't have my size in the navy satin-stripe and lace Amour push up (a new color for autumn 2015). The Mint colorway on the TIGHTEST set of hooks fit the same as the 65F - Simone Perele » Amour 3d Plunge Bra (13R316) in navy - too loose in the band, too small in the cup, a teensy bit shallow with slightly too-narrow wires, and NO nipple discretion, but very very comfortable. Too bad you can't alter cups that are too small!

I tried this on at Intimacy because they didn't have my size in the navy satin-stripe and lace Amour push up (a new color for autumn 2015). This is how it fit on the TIGHTEST set of hooks!

Sadly, the band runs quite loose in the whole line of Simone Perele, so "the smallest band you ... have" was still quite loose. The fitter gave me a 30F, which fit at least a size looser than what I need, and the band was already riding up on the tightest set of hooks as I stood in the fitting room. It was about 1 full cup size smaller than my Fauves and Freyas in 30F, too. She did say they could easily alter the band down with their alterations service, but unfortunately there is nothing to be done about the cups.

The wires were a little narrow for me, but the whole bra was soft and very comfortable, so much so that I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't think to make specific note of it. (Note too that I have yet to find a bra that properly encompasses both the extreme width and shallow curve shape of my breast roots, so I also don't feel wires sitting on top of breast root tail like others might.) I also think it was just a little shallow for me, which contributed a little to the quadboob effect at the top of the cup, but I didn't have it on long enough to notice any migration or settling.

I do feel I should warn all ladies, too, that because it is so superbly soft, there is no nipple discretion at all - they show RIGHT through! It's almost as bad as my 30FF - Freya » Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501) , which has a cup literally made of just a single layer of stretch satin, and this Amour is supposed to be lined!

It's very pretty, so I'm a little disappointed. On the other hand, I guess the silver lining is I know ahead of time that I shouldn't waste my money buying this model, since they won't fit.

This bra is a bit small. I think the band is way too stretchy as well. The straps do not adjust short enough either. However, it is a BEAUTIFUL bra, and I really wish it was made in a larger size and with a firmer band. I'm unsure of my own projection and things as I'm just getting into this, but I'd say it's probably not that projected.
