This was my first Fauve and my first half-cup, and it started my obsession with both. I now realize it never really fit me well, but it still makes me sigh just to look at it..

Being of the Summer/Patsy family, it's quite shallow at the wire and moderately wide/shallow throughout. Wires are stiffer than some other Fauves. Band is very, very stretchy. The decoration shows through just about everything. It makes a better boudoir bra, except in winter.

So beautiful! I will be sad to see it go.

This bra is not owned any more

I probably would fit better in a 32 G in this particular cut, but I'm definitely straddling the line. The cups seem to run a bit on the large side by maybe a half size, and because I'm either a "large FF" or a "smallish G" in general, I went with the smaller cup. The bra is still comfortable and a pretty good fit (good support, no quadra-boob, can wiggle/jump/shimmy without having to readjust myself), and I'll get some good wear out of it.

The bra itself is lovely, aesthetics wise. Very classy and beautiful with an almost Victorian feel. There is a very pretty ivory lace accent over every seam on the cup which looks nice, but be warned: it DOES show through tighter/thinner clothing.

All in all, it isn't my holy grail bra, nor is it the most practical for every day. Still, it's going to see some serious wear from me.
