The Fauve Pearl Padded Half Cup Bra in 30F is black satin with pale pink embroidered dots on the cups, straps, and most of the bottom edge of the band. I have ten other Fauve half cup bras. Three are sheer; the other seven are what Fauve calls padded and what I would call lightly lined. All ten in my closet fit well.

I was surprised, therefore, to find the cups of the 30F Fauve Pearl gaped slightly at the top edge. There is just enough stiffness in the cups for them to hold their shape, so there is no wrinkling anywhere, not even at the very top edges. The difference in fit between the Pearl and my other Fauve half cups is distinct, however.

It turns out the Pearl's cups and center gore are much taller than in my other Fauves. This causes the gaping at the top and makes the straps feel like they are digging into the shoulder/armpit area. I am petite and small framed to boot. I expect the Pearl would suit someone in the 30F range if they were taller or had a longer distance from underbust to shoulder or were extremely full on top.

This bra is not owned any more
