Me: shallow-ish, very wide rooted. Tall roots.

Bra: Very pretty in beige with a black embroidered overlay. Really narrow wires! I have pretty tall roots, which causes my larger left boob to quad a tiny bit. Right boob is volume is good, except for the wire that pokes really bad into the outer side of my boob https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I will try to find replacement wires. I think the 30E would be wider but too deep.

This bra is at the same time too big and too small. The wires cut my skin on the sides. it's very painful. n at the same time the wires don't stay on my breastbone. So it didn't fit...

Me: slightly full-on-bottom, average projection, average separation. Summary: I really like it and will continue to wear this bra. Review: There is something strange for me about the outer area of the wires and the band near that same area, the edge of the cup and the band both want to crease even though I fill the cups. I know others have mentioned its short wires, but in my case when I pull the band (comfortably) taut the problem disappears, so I think it's just that the band is very stretchy and my +2 band choice doesn't work that well for this bra (I have a very lean ... 28" underbust, and normally prefer 30 bands. However Fauve's bands are consistently stretchy and they never made 28s sadly). The gore is a just a bit wide for me as well but not a deal breaker. Overall I actually like this bra a lot, as long as I wear it on the tightest hook the wire/crease isn't a serious problem, and I will probably just alter the band to be smaller in which case it should be absolutely perfect. It has all vertical seams which I demand from bras now because I want the roundest shape possible, it's a beautiful style and quality and I look good in it with clothes and without. I'm fairly tall (pushing 5'9") and the straps are almost too short but they work on the longest adjustment.

One of the bras I bought while trying to figure out my size. I had to send it back in a rush, so unfortunately don't have measurements for it, but the fit is great for me (slightly shallow, slightly splayed, firm, slightly FoB; usually 30DD/E).

It's an amazingly pretty bra, and very sturdy too (one of my pictures is wonky, the colour is quite nice). Fit well all around--the band, while not as tight as I'd like, is wearable on loosest hook; straps adjust to right length, comfortable; cups are right shape and size; no gaping, fits my IM fold, I fill out everywhere. It gave me a nice ... round shape, too. My boobs are naturally firm (since they're small), so I rarely get any uplift in bras, but this one felt like maybe it pushed up a little bit?

Only issue is, the wire ends hurt like crazy as soon as I put it on. This is the literally the only bra that has ever given me this problem. Usually, wires are either okay or a little wide on me, but this one hurts like no other. It doesn't dig into my side tissue or anything, but it just really hurt my ribs. Sternum probably digs in, but I couldn't wear it enough to tell. Also, the wire is almost an inch too short for the channel, which is why the side of the bra is doing that weird indent. Others have this issue too, so it seems to be a design decision--but why?

This is the one bra that I'm very sad to have to send back, with how pretty it is. I own some other Fauve bras too, but those don't hurt at all.
