I bought this bra knowing that the lace portion at the top fitted very loosely on other users and that there would be some nipple show-through on the lace portion. It didn't sound like it'd be very supportive, but having already procured a solid collection of modest coverage and functional bras, I'm now on the hunt for the opposite https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Parfait Tamara has 2 of the things I was looking for: lace/mesh material and a half cup style. I have an affinity for black bras so this was a no brainer. The straps are actually two side-by-side thinner straps, which I find adds to the sexy. I'm not a fan of the band, as I've mentioned on every other Parfait bra review I've written. The stretchiness of the elastic on the band allows the band to ride up even more so than bands that measure longer relaxed.

Now onto the fit appearance. I had hoped for some awesome cakes on a plate. Like this http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMDUx/z/pswAAOxy3cJThdsc/$_12.JPG?set_id=880000500F (super cakes). What I got instead though, was this http://media.bratabase.com/cache/fc/10/fc10198d886f557d820b16d1a4cb0959.jpg (no cakes, no tan). It looks like my boobs are trying to escape over the top of the padded part because the cup too small. Obvious is obvious. But, in my very simple bra brain, sizing down in a half cup style is supposed to result in more pushed up rounded boobies. What I've been slow to learn though, is the obvious: sizing down results in reduced cup width and depth and in a bra that is trying its best to tack between my boobs instead of floating magically around them (the way small VS bras create cleavage), I always end up with a terrible orange in the glass effect. This caused the opposite of what I wanted to happen because my poor squished oranges were now pushing down on the cups. Sure, I could make this work by tightening the straps, right? Wrong. These straps are only half adjustable. I'm sad to report that this is a sexy bra fail for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

• I had the same problem with this bra and ended up returning it. I wish it would have had a lot more projection in the bottom cup pa.

• Staaldrigstill Yea, it's too bad about the design on such an aesthetically pleasing bra. I've ordered the full padded cup (instead of half padded) version. I'll follow up with how that goes!
