Didn't fit

Fauve definitely offers the most beautiful design among all the DD+ brands. Even if the appearance can be dubious for someone, I must admit that the quality is perfect down to the finest detail.
Some reviews say that Lucia runs big in the cups. As Fauve doesn't produce 28 bands, I purchased the smallest band possible and went down one cup size - 30DD. And this is what I think about the fit:

- tha band - it's definitely too loose (all eveden's 30' bands are too loose for me). On the photos you can see the bra after it's been altered.

- the straps - they're very elegant and comfortable.

- the cups - the cup fit is kind of weird. First, the underwires are really very wide (I have some other Fauve's half cups, theye are all the same). They leave their marks about 1 cm after the breast tissue. It wouldn't matter a lot if they didn't poke into my ribs under the armpit. I can not wear this bra for a long time because it's painful. The second complaint concerns the cup shape. It could be a very interesting construction but there's a problem related to the wide underwires. The distance between the place where the straps are attached to the cup and where the underwires end is very long which means first, that the straps are situated very in front, and secondly, that there's an extra fabric on the sides and my breast tissue tries to escape in this "pocket". This is very unconfortable while wearing the bra and gives a sensation of pressure in the middle of the cup. This can mean that either the construction is wrong, or that I'm not compatible with this brand.

Excepting this cup problem, I like this bra for it's design and elegant fabric it's made of.
