The thin foam padding of this 30F purple Parfait Donna Padded Bra is thicker and more rigid than that in:
(1) all my Fauve Padded Half Cup Bras (Marla in Midnight, Maya in Butterscotch, Emmanuelle in Ink)
(2) my Fantasie Rebecca Spacer Foam Underwire Bras in Purple

Parfait by Affinitas Casey in Beige

The 30F purple Parfait Donna Padded Bra fits well. The side view shows a slightly flattened above-the-nipple appearance, but that does not denote an ill fit. My ... Fantasie Rebeccas' side view is evenly uplifted. My Fauve half cups have a miraculously rounded and projected side view. It is probably not fair to compare the side view of a half cup to a balconette's, though, which is what I believe the Donna is. I'm pretty sure the Donna would hide any evidence of nipples no matter how cold it got. My Fantasie Rebecca bras do not always do this. My Fauve half cups always do, but mine have evenly textured fabric to accomplish this.

Until recently I avoided even lightly padded bras because they take up more space than unlined bras. My unbelievably gorgeous Fauve half cups won me over. I'm not sure it would be worth keeping the Donna if only because its rigidity means it would take up more space than the above mentioned bras.

I bought the Parfait Donna Padded Bra used, and it arrived covered in dog hair and god knows what else. It also has fraying elastic that looks like whitish-clear threads sticking up from the mesh wings. The previous owner had machine washed it. I will be donating this bra because I can't get the horrific image of its initial arrival out of my head.

Just not quite right for me. Didn't run as small in the band as other Parfaits, IMO, and the cups were sort of pointy on me. I'm a 28FF on average, so I'm not surprised this wasn't quite right on me.

I had already reviewed the 30FF Donna. I have had some changes in my sizing, and found I was getting a bit of quadboob with the 30FF. The 30G is possibly just a hair big, but not enough to get excited about. It's better than the quadboob that I now get with the 30FF. I purchased the 30G in white. This is the only all white bra I own at this time, which seems almost strange to me, ha! It's a great bra that gives great lift. It's not perfect under thinner shirts as the detailing is bumpy with a thinner t-shirt, but it's great under heavier or patterned tops.

This is a very pretty bra, I love the deep purple color! As you may notice, I'm a Parfait by Affinitas fan. I could have possibly gone with a 30G in this, which surprised me a bit. I get just a slight quadboob effect, but not enough that I'm going to stress on it. The band fits the same as the other Parfait bras I have. I would say the fit on this is very similar to that of the Charlotte, and the last time I wore that I thought maybe a G cup would be a tiny bit better, but I think ... I'm up a couple of pounds right now too, which would explain the difference to me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> The detailing on the Donna is very nice. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a t-shirt bra as the fabric is a bit textured. I'm not good with fabrics, sorry. It has a bit of detailing across the top of the cup that may also show through some t-shirts along with the fabric texture, but not too bad. It's a 3-part cup. Really a comparison to the Charlotte I think is very good. I think the fit, the lift is the same as with Charlotte, which is probably part of why I really like this one so much. The only other difference besides fabric/colors with this and Charlotte is the band. This is not as small as the Charlotte I don't think. It's snug like all the Parfait bands, but not to the point where I need a 32 rather than my usual 30 like with the Charlotte. All in all, I love this bra, and it'll be a keeper for sure!
