My 30F Fauve Marla Padded Half Cup Bra in blue combines colors and textures to create he most exquisite, jewel like bra. This combination starkly contrasts with the unfortunate choices Fauve made in the purple version of this bra. For some reason, they chose a brownish purple but left the other elements the same as in the sapphire blue one. The trims clash with the fabric in the purple version, which is why I sent that one back. The purple one did fit exactly like the blue one, however.

This review is for the blue Fauve Marla Half Cup, and it may be my favorite of all my Fauve Padded Half Cups. It is hard to choose. Not only is the full, rounded profile consistent among almost all Fauves in this style and size for me, the comfort is wonderful. I eventually realized, after amassing quite the collection, that the blue, 30F Fauve Lucia Padded Half Cup and the Pearl Padded Half Cup run larger. Or the straps are too wide and cause gapping.

Mostly Fauve has consistent sizing and fit. I believe this is a feature of higher end bras. My Fauve Half Cups that fit well in 30F include:

Marla Padded Half Cup Bra in Blue
Evangeline Padded Half Cup Bra in Biscuit (strong contender for favorite bra)
Evangeline Padded Half Cup Bra in Red (another contender for favorite bra)
Maya Padded Half Cup Bra in Butterscotch
Lucia Padded Half Cup Bra in Ruby
Emmanuelle Padded Half Cup Bra in Blue (boyfriend's favorite--sexiest, he says)
Chloe Half Cup, a sheer, embroidered bra I bought in three colors: teal, blue, and black

The Fauve Padded Half Cup Bras that also fit perfectly and created exemplary cakes on a plate cleavage in 30F were:
Evangeline Padded Half Cup Bra in Black
Sabine Padded Half Cup Bra
The boyfriend didn't like those two bras, so I returned them.

The one drawback of Fauve Padded Half Cup Bras for me is the gore height. I didn't feel discomfort while wearing the bras. The materials are soft, the finishes extremely fine. A gore higher than 1.5" will rest on breast tissue. I didn't feel pain while wearing Fauve bras, and the gores always tacked, but I developed a bruise that wouldn't go away until I switched to plunge bras exclusively. Fauve's "plunges" are pretty high. I couldn't find a Fauve plunge that would accommodate my petite frame and close set breasts. This was extremely disappointing for me.

This bra is not owned any more
