Cups are too small and I have to wear band on smallest hook. Didn't wash well...but the design is so nice I'd like to try a 28F.

This Dessous is in a lovely colorway. It does run bigger and wider in the cup than earlier models, such as the first season neon colors and American Tan, or the Dessous Sucre of the 2nd season. This bra, compared to those, runs 1.5 cup sizes bigger, I'd estimate. I cannot be sure I'd get the right size by sizing down, however, because the wire shape has also changed. The shoulder straps are wider, and the wires seem to follow a flatter-bottomed, wider type of infra-mammary fold. Overall lovely, however, I have never been able to wear it.

This bra does not have much projection. It would work well for someone with shallow breasts. Additionally, I would recommend going up a cup size, and possibly down a band size. (This particular bra is used, but the 28 band isn't as tight as some others I've tried.)
On me specifically, I filled the cup completely, but the upper edge of the cup cut into my breast tissue. The sides did not go far enough back to enclose all of my breast tissue, though that's less of an issue. Perhaps this would fit in a 28G or even 28GG, but I think ultimately the shape is not well suited for me.This bra is not owned any more

I have seen that the sizing on this bra is all over the map, so here's one more data point for y'all. This feels really tight for a 32 band. When I first tried it on, I got wrinkling at the bottom of the cup and quadding at the top. I tried it next with an extender, and that fixed those problems. Cups seem true to size. The mesh is a little bit scratchy -- my skin is a little bit sensitive -- but otherwise it's comfortable now. The neon green is VERY NEON GREEN, which is what I was looking for, so I'm happy.

This bra is very stretchy in the band, straps and wires. I love the rounded uplifted shape this bra gives. It is extremely comfortable and I would wear it all the time but the seams do show through several of my garments and the American tan color with the black trim means it shows through lighter tops. I guess I need to buy more colors !

Pretty bra, but the material isnt the most comfortable in my opinion, and it runs quite large, in the cups as well as the band. I normally fit in 34FF/G and took a chance with the 32G, and im very surprized that it is actually too big.

There was a time when I wanted to own the Dessous in many colours. This one has always been pretty tight in he band so I haven't worn it much last summer. I gained some weight so it doesn't fit well now. I'd say it fits somewhere between a 28E and 28F, smaller fit than Eveden cups. Have matching briefs in size S - never worn.

This is my favorite bra for a v-neck. I wear these all summers long; they're nice and lightweight and thin, but still supportive. They have somewhat of a minimizing effect which makes a nice roundness under clothes. I love the narrow/deep cups of the early Claudette Dessous. I am going to buy more of them today, I think! This green is so vivid and luscious. I love the secret sexy under a black top-- if a strap shows, oh, well-- looks like a plain black bra-- but nope! Electric green! There was a coating on the fabric of this colorway at first that came off during the first handwash or two, and that was kinda gross at the time. Also, the fabric was pretty scratchy at first, but it softened up nicely.
Just an FYI that the undies run a size smaller than Freya or Curvy Kate.This bra is not owned any more

The typical Dessous bra completely made of mesh. Excellent for summer. Not projected enough for me near the gore unfortunately, fits small for a 30E.

This, this bra came out a lot more highlighter pink than I expected. The color isn't for me, but that's the least of my problems.
For some reason, Claudette 28 bands always dig awfully into my left ribcage. Why? They're not even that tight....
Aside from that, there are numerous fit issues. The cup is altogether too deep for me and too closed on top, resulting in an elf shoe look. The wires are quite wide, which is something I don't need but I don't mind either. As is usual for Claudette Dessous, the mesh is a bit scratchy at first but pretty comfortable in the grand scheme of things and the fully-adjustable and easily-slideable straps are a treat. This bra has a weird hard wrinkle in the cup seam near the nipple, which means an unfortunate poking through of the seam into any shirt that I might wear. The band is on the lose side of TTS.Elsa Pink colorway
