When I first got sized this was my new favorite bra. I still think it is beautiful and should have as good of a reputation as the Deco - especially since it's cheaper! It gives great cleavage. However, it isn't quite wide enough for my breasts.

Like my review for the 30F, the 30FF is OMG comfy! This bra gives great lift and a nice shape. The straps are fully adjustable and very comfortable (not scratchy unlike some Freya straps). The band is firm, but could definitely be tighter. The wires do not dig, nor do they poke. The lace overlay is not noticeable under clothing, but will obviously show under semi-sheer or very thin tops (think layering shirts). There are also 3 hooks on the 30FF vs 2 on the 30F. Like the 30F Casey, this bra does show a bit under a heavy white cotton t-shirt (again, clingy), but not other colored clingy cotton tees.
Con: the band rides up a bit in the back compared to the 30F. The cup also comes up much higher than the 30F, and it cuts into my underarms a bit. It isn't uncomfortable, but it isn't ideal, either. I don't know if I should keep this one (where my larger breast doesn't run the risk of spilling out) or keep the 30Fbra...ughh.

OMG, sooo comfy! This bra gives great lift and a nice shape. The straps are fully adjustable and very comfortable (not scratchy unlike some Freya straps). The band is firm, but could be a wee bit tighter, but I do prefer a tighter band overall. The wires do not dig, nor do they poke. The lace overlay is not noticeable under clothing, but will obviously show under semi-sheer or very thin tops (think layering shirts). Unfortunately, this bra does show a bit under a heavy white cotton t-shirt (again, clingy), but not other colored clingy cotton tees.
My only con is that the cup cuts into my larger breast and during a days wear I would have shifting and quad-boobage. If you're on the smaller side of a 30F, go for it! If between sizes, order a cup up. Also, if you are a true 28, do not order this bra! It will likely stretch out too fast and no longer be supportive.

I like this bra better than the Jeanie. I wish I had the nude Casey instead of the nude Jeanie.
The band is really snug on me, in the new bra, but I'm sure it will stretch. The cups on this bra fit better than the ones on the Jeanie do. Not as much of an issue with the cups cutting into the breast tissue, but neither quite creates quadra-boob. I feel like this gives a more rounded shape than the Jeanie does. (Not that Jeanie is pointy, it just seemed less round than what I was used to with a Deco. The shape of Jeanie and Casey seems the same now that I have washed Jeanie.)

After recent weight loss, I desperately needed a new bra. I'm so glad I went to a shop instead of just ordering [one of those other molded plunge bras] online! Not only is this one significantly less expensive, but it also fits me better. I did have to knock points off for quality and comfort because one corner of the bra was poking me, but I filed it down a little with a nail file, and it's no longer an issue. As others have noted, the bands on Parfait bras do seem to run a little tighter than other brands, which is a good thing in my opinion!

I got this as an alternative to my beloved Freya Deco. It's perfectly good, fits pretty well and stays comfortable throughout the day... but it's not the Deco (which fits perfectly for me). I would say this would be a good option for women for whom the Deco's cups are set too far apart or for whom the top of the Deco's cups sit away from the body, as it's cups seem softer and slightly inward curving.
I'll be keeping it until it wears out, as it does fit me very well, just not as well as the Freya.

For me, it doesn't get any better than Parfait by Affinitas Casey or Jeanie. These are the 2 most worn styles in my collection. The 30G is a better fit for me now than the 30FF, but they are very, very close. The 30FF fits my smaller breast better and the 30G my larger better. Love this bra!

I really like the lace detailing over the cups. It adds a little something to a standard nude bra.
It really is very comfortable but it, unfortunately, never fit correctly (both too big in the back and too small in the cups). From what I understand it runs larger in the cup than the standard bra from Parfait Affinitas so it could be a good Deco replacement for some.

Comfortable, and attractive with the lace on the edge of the cups. On the down side, the lace shows under some t-shirts, which isn't good for a t-shirt bra! The cups provide lift and support, with a generally rounded shape, somewhat flattened toward the front. Because of the low plunge, there's a tendency for my breasts to settle, spilling out in the middle while leaving the top of the cup a bit on the empty side.
