Somehow, looking at the pictures, I thought this was brown with pink, but it's black with pink. Oh well. It's beautiful, comfortable, and seems well-made. If it fit me at all I would keep it. But it is much too big in the cups. A full size too big, I think. Band feels true-to-size. I almost can't loosen the straps enough, which is surprising in a too-big bra. I'm sad about this one! It feels like it would be a very flattering bra if it touched my boobs on the top instead of hovering above them.

Fauve, so high quality materials and construction; sophisticated aesthetic. The Sunset colorway is achieved with top stitching of pale rose pink anchored by bottom stitching of deep rose. The all-over brocade-type embroidery does not show under regular knits. The wires are a little too wide for my narrow girls but not in a bad way, they do not go out too far or poke under the arms. Band is TTS and very firm. Straps are only 1/2 adjustable, padded for comfort and textured for anti-slip. Trim along the top of cup, bottom of band all the way around and 1/2 way up the straps is perfectly color-coordinated and ... doesn't show through. Double and tastefully restrained pink & black bows in all the usual places.The half cup is 3 part, lightly padded and plenty deep enough for my crazy immediate projection (although this may be helped by the slightly wide wires) and gives terrific lift, centering and cleavage with a nice natural rounded shape; also fairly tall so I feel more 'collected' than some lower half cups (actually feels more like a balcony). Lined in a silky poly and the wires are covered in a soft french terry, as is the clasp. Comfort, comfort, comfort! What I love about Fauve is the details. For example, the top of the gore is sewn at an angle, not straight across, because the cups come out at an angle - duh! Also there is a 1/2 or so in the wire channel. I have 3 Emmanuelles now, and they are all a joy to wear.

This bra was a very weird fit, it's not a true half cup in my opinion more like an awkward balconette. The wires are also *very* wide. The widest I've ever seen on a bra. This would be a dream come true for some, but not me. I have an average to narrow root, shallow and FoB breasts so this was the perfect storm for creating the strangest boob shape ever.
The same is true for the following other bras:

-Fauve Emmanuelle Padded Half Cup Bra
-Fauve Veronique Padded Half Cup Bra
-Fauve Lingerie Aurelia Padded Half Cup Bra
-Fauve Dominique Padded Half Cup Bra

So, the cups on this are actually fairly deep, but the wire was rather too narrow for me. I removed them after measuring and plan to replace them, which is the only obstacle to this lovely bra fitting me. My measurements and review are based on the original.

This is another beautifully made Fauve bra. It's a 3-part cup with soft embroidered lace, and not really "padded," but heavily lined. It's a gorgeous, classic kind of pretty, but I don't know that I'd recommend wearing under a thin top. I haven't tried that yet and I suspect the embroidery would show through. The picot edgings on the lace folds around the cups a bit, but it's soft so hasn't caused problems for me. You might want to watch that if you have super-sensitive skin?

I have this bra and a Fauve Pearl (also a padded half-cup) in 34F at the same time, and this one is the ... one I'm keeping. The band is reasonably firm, but has a little more give than the Pearl, and again is 2 hooks. The wires are just about wide enough. They come to the front edge of my underarm, and while they're sitting on just a bit of breast tissue, they're still comfortable. The cups are shallowly shaped, which is perfect for me since I often have orange-in-a-glass kinds of problems. This bra wants you to have some fullness on top — more than I do — but the gapping isn't that noticeable. The gore is nicely narrow and I'm a huge fan of how it's a bit lower in the center than many half-cups and balconettes.

One other thing to note is that the straps are decorated and not fully adjustable. They're also set just about as widely as I'd ever want. Neither of these things are a problem for me in this case, but could be negatives for others.

First of all, this is a lovely bra that is both beautiful and well-constructed. I love the color and the opulent feel of the bra! It is a bit small in the cups, although there is no quadboobing - so I think a 32FF would be slightly big on me. The band is comfortable and true to size, I think. The shape is amazing - just the way I like it, round (especially in profile) and subtly sexy.

By the way, for some reason, my breasts look wonky in the front view photo, like their shape is bending the centre gore... This is in no way noticeable in real life.

This is a beautiful bra! The band is a bit too big for me but Fauve doesn't go any lower than 30. There is a bit of wrinkling on the low sides of the cups on me for some reason. I absolutely love the half cup, since the side fabric on many bras cuts up too high for me. The straps are snug and won't slide around. I can't comment too much on comfort yet, as I recently purchased it and haven't worn it for a full day yet.

"Latte" fashion color version.

I love this style. I have tried on now twice in two different colors (Mint, Latte) and sizes and I believe I am a 30G although I cannot seem to find a color I prefer in my size (I'd love to find Amethyst or Bronze and very excited about SS12's "Ink" version). https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> Excellent design, gorgeous embroidery, this bra is very well made.

Band fits well - a good 30, a true half cup on my shape, straps are fully adjustable, center gore is comfortable at about a balconette height. I was browsing a local department store and they had this style so I thought I would try it, 30FF is just a bit small in the cup so there is extra tissue above the cup line.
