As the dessous overal work well on me, the same situation with this one. Im not fan of it colour but its okay - for now i want to keep it as a light bra to go around the house during free days. The band is okay, but i can actually close it on the 2nd row, however on the 1st row is still fine. Cups are cutting just tiny bit as the Mauve, but i dont mind coz the bra is so comfy : )

The American Tan feels smalles out of my all new Dessous. In the cups - same as in 30F, theres wrinkling at the top, while at the same time it cuts in my boobs - on both sides actually. The band also feels tight comparing to Mauve. I was planning to keep it, and get rid of Yellow one but I guess it will be opposite. Too much quadboobing to keep it. but overall nice brown bra that would looks good on each skin tone.

well, this is my favourite colour of Dessous so far - it like purple and grey mixes - looks very nice on my pale skin.The bra feels as good as my 32DD - Claudette » Paramour Underwire Bra (101015008) , but im getting tiny quadboob - its not really noticeable under t-shirts so definietly im going to keep this bra. I wouldnt mind if the wires would have just 12.2-12.3cm as they would fit better, but is not bad.

On the larger side I have some wrinkling on the top nxt to the strap - probably the cup is just too tall on me or is more for person with fuller on top breasts. On the small side there is a lot of wrinkling around - on the bottom, on the top and sides are weird. Actually I could fix the cups but i think is better to keep tiny too small 30e rather than this one. Also, I love the narrow wires and their flexibility which makes the bra so comfy!

It would be so amazing if not the wide set of straps.. the cups are more than perfect (beside this 0.5cm too wide wires), but it makes such lovely shape. Also bra feels very comfy thanks to its wider and softer straps comparing to other dessous. Also, the band is tighter than other 30Es but thans not an issue with the extender. Overal is such shame i cant keep it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I think this bra technically fits, but I feel so meh over it.

I feel a bit flattened by it. It's not very supportive and my boobs just feel sad and minimized (when I wear my Cleo Lily or Marcie my boobs feel so perky!) The top of the cups seems to hit my boobs at a bad place - a bit high-creating a flattening effect.

I might deal with it if I had it one of the color schemes I'm lusting after, but I think a 28F or 28E might suit me better.

This measured oddly similar to my 30F Marcie and some other bras, and I really wanted the color, so I gave it a go. The cups are ridiculously wide on my frame (I'm used to 30E bras) but I do fill out the tops of the cups okay. I tried a 30E as well and it fits okay, but I think 28F would suit me best.

It's so pretty and soft!... I want to just keep it.

This review is for the blondie colorway. For the full rant, see my review on the peacock colorway (also in 28G).

I LOVE this color - a light cream with neon pink straps and seaming, with a big beautiful pink bow on the gore. Plus it's sheer! I love sheer!

But that's where the love ends. Everything I hoped for is a lie. The cake is a lie.

The band on this bra is NOT stretchy. It stretched to 26.5 inches at best, and that pulled the already wide, soft wires a few inches wider.

This bra is NOT for projected, narrow-rooted, center-heavy, short rooted, even/fob, firm-ish boobs. The fit ... was bad (though it was worse in the peacock colorway). The result was sad, flattened, east-westy in my armpits boobs. (For references I typically wear a 30F/FF in unlined freya and EM)

1) Band is way way way too small. I have an elastic extender (adds several inches, not just the 1 1/2 from a regular extender) that I tried it on with in order to review. Everyone else says that Claudette Dessous's have super stretchy bands, so maybe my two were flukes.
2) I need narrow wires. These wires were several inches too wide (halfway under my arms), even when worn with an elastic extender to minimize the stretch.
3) No immediate projection to speak of = wrinkling/empty space at the bottom of the cup
4) Center quadding out the top of the bra + weird empty space right next to the gore because its so freaking shallow my boobs can't even attempt to get in there.
5) straps in my armpits
6) wide, shallow shape = minimized, in my armpit boobs with excessive empty space on all sides and yet quadding.

IF you are shallow, this bra might work for you. If you have super soft boobs that conform to any shape, this bra might work for you. If you like wide, soft wires, this bra might work for you. If you want a minimized look, this bra might work for you. If your boobs are anything like mine, run away, run away fast.

I love this bra. I've been wanting one for so long.
I wonder, maybe measurements can be added for top, center, and bottom of cups sometime in the future? I think it would make measurements a lot more consistent.
For this, I've been wanting a Dessous ever since I joined Bratabase. Maybe just a little before.
I had always read how they run about a cup small, and while I can personally somewhat agree, I mostly disagree.

At least as far as mine went, it had 9" depth in the top of the cups. Generally, I've noticed that wire length matches the deepest area of the cups on many bras.
As the ... cups go downward, there is -1" per..I don't know, I forgot to measure that. But basically the center of the cup was about 8", give or take, and bottom was 7", give or take.
This is exactly the type of thing I wanted to illustrate with my blog, but I just haven't been able to find the time to take measurement pictutes and write out such lengthy reviews, so hopefully this will suffice.

I really, really wanted to keep this regardless of the little bit of upper wrinkling. I've lost A LOT of upper tissue, so the 30E just didn't work for me. I have a feeling that a 30DD would have enough upper space, but be somewhat too shallow on bottom, so there's that problem, but I'd still love to try one in that size.. and you know, I'd probably still keep it too because I love this model lol.
I couldn't keep the 30E because I'm losing weight and I might as well not put more wear into something that I'm going to need to sell after I lose about 5-10 more pounds.https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I do think, if you have more malleable tissue, and are more round as opposed to conical or tuberous, you may want to consider sizing up..just because of the small amount of space on bottom. I feel like for someone rounder, the tops may cut in with your tissue being pushed upwards.
However for me, my tissue is malleable but tuberous and I just can't fill the tops.

As far as the rest of the bra goes, the straps are fully adjustable, the gore is good for closer set tissue, wires were narrow, and overall it's just such a lovely bra.
I'd recommend the Dessous to someone just mildly fuller on top. If you're more even, tubey or conical, consider going with your usual size. Someone FoT or rounder, possibly consider sizing up.

Bought several of these on final sale in different sizes and colors, to see whether any of them would work for me. Trying them all on has confirmed that this type of bra does not suit my soft, slightly pendulous breasts at all. I can see why they would be popular with women who have firmer breasts however because this bra is very sexy and fun. I just wanted to comment that my measurements are for the mauve/black colorway, which seems to have a MUCH stretchier band that the other 32" Dessous I reviewed (the "True Blue" colorway, which I believe is a newer color).
