Fauve is one of my favourite brands when it comes to the design, but unfortunately their smallest bands are too loose for me and their bras are too expensive in regular price. Despite all these contraindications I decided to buy Fauve on sale even if it means to go up one or two band sizes and alter the bra so as it becomes wearable. My first try was Annalise in 34D (altered to 30E) which was at least one cup size too big. I thought that I needed to size down to 30DD, at least in models known for running big in the cups.

Fauve Veronique was my second ... bra in the new size, 32D. The band was of course too loose and I altered it to 30DD/28E.

I have to confirm that the cups run quite big. I can wear this bra all the time, despite of size changes throughout a month. I have this model in two colourways, grape and topaz – the cups are more closed on the top in topaz while they're quite open in grape. The underwires are extremely wide like in all Fauve half cups, and the straps are really very centered. It's not the perfect mix for my breast which prefers narrow underwires and wide-set straps. I think that sizing down the cup was helpful

The design is just extraordinary, you can see a great quality in the perfect finish and materials. The only criticism I have to make is that the straps are very stretchy, fortunately supportive enough.
