In my next life I want to be the person who picks the names for the bras https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> because this one is named perfectly, at least from a romanticized, Euro-centric point of view! The delicate embroidery and lace details are reminiscent of Hindu temple architecture; the color I am sure is in a spice market somewhere. Like all Fauve's, stunningly beautiful, well-made, top quality luxury and comfort. The red is not true red, it is tomato-chili. An embroidered layer of exactly matching net lies over the lightly padded softly lined 3-part half cups. The paisley-patterned embroidery is shades of brown, shrimp and rose; the arched lace openwork runs along the top of the cups, the bottom of the band and repeats at the clasp. There is another bit of matching red triangle trim that runs the entire length of the straps,both sides, and along the back of the band. Nothing shows through clothes. The band is snug and not stretchy, a single layer of power mesh that I can comfortably fasten on middle hooks (I take a 32, this is a 34 so I was happy it wasn't huge). The soft straps are fully adjustable. The gore is narrow and low; the wires are about average width - less than 1/2 finger-width extra on the sides but still enough to center the girls and no poking or pain. Thankfully the wires, like all Fauves, are flexible enough to bend and I will! The wires are covered in a soft plush. It is deep enough at the apex, a tad shallow at the bottom (every bra except EM is too shallow for my crazy immediate projection); not shallow enough to ride down, just enough to effectively push up. Since this is a 34E sister size for my 32F, the cups cut in a bit right at the top but its not un-wearable, just gives more of the 'soft hills' look. I think Fauve scales for even breasts? I don't think this would be very good for center fullness, either, since it swoops pretty steeply and firmly toward the gore. Anyway, it gives me a lifted, rounded 'green' shape that is not in-your-face center & forward, but very feminine and soft. I love it!
