I was pretty apprehensive right before this arrived at my doorstep because the most recent Parfait bra I tried gave me really bad orange-in-a-glass (the bottom of the cups were too shallow for my breast shape).
This did give me a bit of orange-in-a-glass and didn't anchor right under my breasts, but it wasn't as bad as the Honey. No bra I've tried so far gives me perfect anchorage because most of my breast tissue is at the bottom. Surprisingly, I found the tops of the cups pretty tight, so this bra is not a great match for those who are fuller on top. I think this is precisely why this bra gets the "too small in the cups" rep; to me this feels like a standard 28F. I got zero gaping with my full on bottom boobs.
I found the wires surprisingly narrow, which is great for my shape. They are comfortable to me, but those who are shallower tend to have more wire pain in this bra from the blog posts I have read. This gives my boobs a projected, slightly pointy profile. However, I find Parfait wires somewhat stretchy because they are made out of plastic, so it's no wonder that this can suit both shallow and projected boobs.
The band wasn't especially tight, it felt like a standard 28. Because I measure 26 snug it rode up slightly. Note that more recent renditions of this bra runs more true to size in the band.
This bra is so beautiful and gives a sophisticated, retro feel. You really have to see it to believe it. I feel incredibly sexy in this bra. I usually don't spend money on matching panties, but for this set I'm tempted to fork over the money.
