This bra is fantastic! It fits just like the Cleo Marcie except only better! The wires are not as stiff and come up a tad higher in the armpit which I love, and it also has side boning which is a plus. I have it in every color except the leopard pink. The bands are a little tighter than my other Paramour bras which is nice. I had to sell a couple colors because they where sewn incorrectly at the top of the cup horizontal seem (it was only the polka dot ones).
I forgot to mention that there is side boning, which is amazing. I wish that more bras had this (but can understand why some people would not like it), it keeps my underarm fat nice and tucked away. LOL.
tiny bit of quadboob situation if i move too much. straps are weird -- the actual strap is inside of a soft fabric channel and sometimes gets twisted as a result. also wish they shortened a bit more. even so, this is the comfiest bra i own!
Way too big in the cups. Wires too high as well. Allegedly I need longer wires because of my size, but I'm short, so longer wires (higher wings) are very uncomfortable.
It's like the wires are too round on the bottom and they really dig into me, even at rest. Any moving or bending I do makes the wires slide down my ribcage even though the band fits fine. It's as if the wires aren't bending to fit the curve of my ribcage.
Despite not fitting, it's pretty comfortable. I can't return it anyways lol. Typical molded cups problem--too shallow, so wires slip down and there is gaping all around. Probably also a cup and band size too large. But I'll wear it anyways for now as it's quite soft and comfortable.
This bra ALMOST fits me, except the gore is too wide/high and gives me indentations in my cleavage because I am so close set. The mink shade is rich and beautiful and reminds me of hot chocolate with milk. When I purchased it, it had some fraying at the straps, too, so I sent it back. This also made me question the quality of the bra, but maybe I just got an off one.
The Paramour Stunning bra in 32H is really pretty. All of the details are really interesting and cute. The cut-out in the gore is pretty and adds what feels like extra support to the center of the cups. I have this bra in white lace (which is gorgeous), and the beige-toned mesh that makes up the top front of the bra and the top of the straps is really pretty and close to an exact skin tone match for me. Unfortunately, I don't think the straps adjust long enough, and the straps themselves feel a bit cheap.
I did not buy the correct size, so it does not fit the best. However, it is still a decent fit considering the size difference. The quality is great, and the material is super comfortable and soft. Not tacky in looks, but not too plain, either. It is a great bra.
At first glance, the bra fits because the cups stretch. Though I suspect a larger cup size would fit better. The Carolina is very pretty in person, it has a diagonal seamed full coverage plunge cup with a firm underwire. It's very light weight.
The fabric feels like soft nylon and is comfortable against the skin. The construction is very simple, it has a a stretchy black lace overlay placed over a beige fabric to fake "nude" skin (for lighter to light-tan skintones).
My issue with the Carolina is how tight the 32" band is! It's tighter than my 30FF from Freya or my 30G from Simone Perele. I need an extender for the Paramour bra because the tightness of the band mades the underwire press against me uncomfortably.
The straps are not fully adjustable due to their design, but I can tighten it sufficiently enough to fit without issues.
This bra was beautiful, however, the straps would cut into my tail of Spence (armpit flab) I think because the cups were too tall on the sides for me. Additionally I had wrinkling at the bottom of the cup near the wires, but quadding up top on the center side. (It was empty on the outer top side cause of my short roots) classic problem for projected shapes. It's not too uncomfortable but I am done settling for ok fitting bras. I have wide set boobs and they did fit good on that scale.
Tldr: it won't fit well if you have short roots and very projected boobs, its very lacy yet breathable, might work if you have medium projection. I on the other hand will be returning this.
Fits fine, but is a little bit square-ish on. Elastic across the top of the cup. Also not stretch lace, so a bit surprising that I don't have spillage.
Me: short & narrow roots, center full, close set, pendulous, petite, short waisted, low set, fairly even fullness, narrow shoulders, soft
I just bought this bra for pretty cheap off eBay to remove the t-back straps! I can't really comment on the fit, as it's not even remotely close to my size. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The t-back straps are really cute, though! I had a hard time measuring the band for this, since the lace part of the back of the straps is attached, so I couldn't really stretch it as far as it would go. The measurement I put for both stretched and unstretched band are a best guestimate. Just based on how it felt when I tried it on, and on looking at it, I would say the band is true to size.
This was one of the 8 bras I tried in my first Amazon Prime Wardrobe Box! (Sadly, 8/8 did NOT fit) HOLY SHALLOW CUPS! This bra is like, seriously, at least 2 sizes too small. I didn't do enough research on their size range, obviously, hahah! I don't understand how they can call this a 32 band, when it doesn't even stretch to 30 inches. Despite the fact that it's so small, this bra is really pretty. I ordered the aquarelle color, which is a nice shade of blueish green/teal. I also liked the delicate lace on the straps; makes for a nice feminine touch.
Very comfortable. I wish the straps could adjust a bit shorter. I'm not sure if it's because the straps are a tad too long for me or the silky material, but they tend to slip every once in a while. I also think I could go a band size down (32E or F) since it's a very stretchy band. I get a little quadding from the elastic at the top, but under shirts that's not very noticeable. It does gives a very nice, supported, natural shape and the material is soft and comfortable.
I forgot to mention that there is side boning, which is amazing. I wish that more bras had this (but can understand why some people would not like it), it keeps my underarm fat nice and tucked away. LOL.
