Fits

I've been pretty critical of Parfait bras in the past, and none of the options I've tried so far have fit me that well. However, I came across the Parfait Destiny Contour Bra on Amazon recently and decided to try it blindly. Surprisingly, it fits quite well, and I really like it!

Lately I have been really drawn to "pretty" bras, and while I've been collecting lots of frilly, feminine unlined bras from Fantasie, I've also been trying to collect more "luxe" bras mostly from Masquerade. Destiny fits perfectly into the aesthetic of the latter, as it utilizes satin, lace, and lace up trim quite effectively. I could easily mistake this for a Masquerade bra or something from a luxury line. The cups are a 3 piece balconette construction made from cut and sew foam. The main portion of the cup is lined in soft floral lace, and the sides have an exterior satin sling similar to the one on Charlotte, but it is a bit wider. The cradle is also made from satin and features a center gore with a lace up ribbon detail like the one on the Lepel Fiore's wing panel. Wings are made from plain powermesh and taper into a leotard back, and the straps are made from medium width picot-edged elastic.

While I initially disliked Charlotte for the stiffness of its materials (particularly in the current solid black version), the materials on Destiny are a little bit softer, and feel better quality to me. Charlotte has very firm foam cups, but Destiny's cups seem a little bit softer. I'm not sure how much of it is the difference in material quality and how much of it is the difference in cut, though the cup construction looks very similar from the interior. Charlotte gives me a slightly pointy shape, and the upper cup is a bit too closed off for me, so it cuts into my tall roots while leaving some empty room immediately below, though it isn't too big of an issue in 28E. Destiny gives me a really nice rounded shape with none of the same issues as Charlotte. The only downside is that in order to fit my larger side well, cups tend to gap on my smaller side, and this is much more noticeable on certain unlined bras and on certain structured foam bras (like on my Comexim 60Hs). However, this is easily fixed with a foam pad insert for asymmetry.

The band on this bra is exactly what I expect from Parfait, as they tend to make firm bands that are TTS. I found the band to be comfortable and of the same quality as Charlotte's. The wires on this bra are also not the same gentle curved shape as in most of my bras that fit, but they somehow work in this bra. Strangely, the Parfait unlined bras I tried (Sandrine, Irene) were absolutely horrible fits for me in the wires.

I would recommend this bra for even shapes that want a more rounded appearance than what Charlotte gives, or if Charlotte is a bit too closed off or projected for you. A lovely find!

Update: I have purchased two colorways, Cassis and Nightshadow Blue. The fit is consistent between both bras, but the Nightshadow Blue has a slightly wider band and slightly wider straps.

On Oct 2020 It fit her! View measurements

Band feels good, cups fit larger side well and give a great rounded shape. Shape is rounder and nicer looking than Charlotte. Gaps on smaller side like Charlotte does due to asymmetry and firm foam
