I got this bra as part of a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have ever tried it.

It is shallow, wide, and closed on top.

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.

I thought European sizes are supposed to be standardized?

Before I ordered this, I read other reviews that said this bra stretches quite a bit, thus runs big in the band & then small in the cup. THEY WERE RIGHT! I normally fit best into a 32 band, so with the reviewer's suggestions, I ordered a 30. The 30 fit me just snug enough but not too tight, on the longest set of hooks . I also ordered 1 cup size up...I think I needed 3! The cups on this are so ridiculously small it is laughable. Quads everywhere...and I certainly don't consider myself large.
As for the fabric and such, it is a beauty: very pretty embroidery around the bottom front edge, it's soft, elegant and (I think) supportive.

This is the first Simone Perele bra I've seen in person and it seems like a well made, excellent quality bra. Unfortunately too big in the band and too small in the cup for me. I'd say it fits somewhere around a UK 30DD. I really like the cups being neither too thin, neither padded - it is a thin foam cup that gives shape and support, but not too thick. Since I started losing a tiny bit of weight, I might hold on to it for a while and see what happens. Should I shrunk into the cups, I still need to shorten the band.

I tried this 30F bra because the Simone Perele Inspiration 30E had spillage on top. This fit was actually worse for me, though. The 30F cups were too wide and too flat for me, and I still had spillage on top because I was flattened so much.

I rated comfort and appearance low because of the fit issues - I think I would like this bra if it matched my shape better. Quality is good though. I like this fabric - especially the inside of the band, where there is no exposed elastic. I also like the convertible straps.

This is the best quality bra I have ever tried. The cups are so soft. But it is either built for more wideset boobs or the cup-size is too small. I believe it is a 30E equivalent, though Amazon sold it as a 30F. I'll need to try to find a true 30F (65G). The underwire digs into my ribs a bit as well.

I was excited for this bra because it is a half cup that comes in a smaller band size. However, the band is not true to size at all and is very loose. There is a very rigid seam at the top of the cup which would cut into fuller on top shapes. Otherwise, the lace is very pretty and I was so hopeful!

I've loved the Revelation bra that I have in 65E forever. It is too small technically but I love it anyway. I was so excited to try a 65F, but this was a bit disappointing. I don't quite fill out the tops of the cups. (I guess I went from too small to too big.. quadboob to not even filling the cups.. ugh) The wires still feel a bit narrow. The material isn't nearly as soft or smooth. The band is a bit firmer, but that might just be because it's newer.

I wanted to love this bra, as it is beautiful and I did not have a black strapless until now, but I just can't. It's far too shallow for my boobs. These cups are almost flat. I don't fill out the bottom of the cups, and quad-boob out the top of them. If I scoop and swoop and really try hard, I can kind of get my boobs to settle in the bottom of the cups, for about 30 seconds. But for those 30 seconds, I have the perfect amount of lift and cleavage! The gore will not tack, due to the shape. Also, the band runs big. I can already fasten it on the tightest setting and could have done a 28 in the band. It's disappointing, since this bra is low cut enough to be worn with my deep V neck tanks and all of my summer shirts.

165 bras

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). 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, and was riding up even while I stood in the fitting room. I would say it runs at least one size big, maybe more.

The cups fit similar to the 65F - Simone Perele » Amour 3d Plunge Bra (13R316) in Mint and Navy in terms of shallowness and wire width, but they are even smaller - possibly 2 cup sizes small.

As with the Amours I tried, there is very little nipple discretion, so while very comfy and soft, the fabric padding doesn't do much as far as that is concerned.

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!

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 is very pretty bra and somehow the lace manages to lie flat under a tee. The cups have very stretchy soft lace and create a perky up lift. However when I wear the bra for some time the band starts to ride up and the cups down. Also I feel like the straps slip some but I don't know it if only feels that way because the rest doesn't stay in place

Me: close set, shallow, full on bottom.

I love this bra! Super comfortable (the elusive "it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a bra" feeling) and nice materials. I don't quite fill the top of the cup (not surprising given my extremely bottom heavy breast shape) but it's not a significant problem. Also the straps are super cute - but definitely wider than most bras I have.

Edit: After about 6 months, the straps may have stretched out - they aren't fully adjustable. They are now on the tightest setting, but sometimes fall off during the day.

This is my newest bra right now. It fits very comfortably, just wish that the center fit up against my sternum and the straps would stay adjusted where I put them.

Updated on Sep 03, 2014 Flag this

Thought this might've the answer to my strapless bra search. Unfortunately, the fit is off somehow. The center gore does not lie flat, and though I'm busting out on the sides and at the top, there is empty space at the bottom of the cups. The cup base almost seems too narrow, causing my breast to be pushed up toward the side and top and creating a weird gap at the bottom. Too bad, it's a very pretty bra that I think would look great and give a smooth appearance if it fit correctly.

The band is very comfortable, snug yet not so tight as to cause grooves. The straps are stiff yet comfortable due to the wider lacy fabric over the shoulders. The cups are soft and roomy, however the underwires are a little narrow for my breast tissue and so there is some slight quad-boobing and some breast tissue escapes the wires under the arms. I am on the first hook, however it is very stretchy so it may give faster than other, stiffer bras like Cleo.

This bra is BEAUTIFUL, but there are a few issues. The band is crazy stretchy (as was the other SP bra I tried on) which leads to it not feeling as supportive. The straps could use to adjust shorter as well. The bra did not poke under my arms though which is definitely something that happens to me all the time. The bra also was just the slightest bit too small in the cup, so I'd say it runs small compared to other 30F bras.

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.

Updated on Apr 25, 2014 Flag this

Ultimately a bit of a shape mismatch for me. One of the few bras that I've found with a narrow enough gore and straps that adjust long enough (and sit close enough together) for my shoulders. It looks like a perfect fit from the front, but when I check it out from an angle the profile is lumpy- there's a noticeable pocket of space at the bottom of the cup, and possibly even a smaller one at the top as well. You can't tell under a shirt though, and I would be keeping the bra if it weren't for the wires being the tiniest bit too narrow. So frustrating, because this bra is really pretty, and the fabric is soft. It would have been extremely comfortable if it had only been wide enough.
