For context, my measurements put me between a 32 and a 34 band. The latter is sometimes too loose, but the former is sometimes too tight. This puts me between a rock and a hard place when trying to evaluate bras.

When I tried the Parfait Jeanie in a 32FF, the band was a bit too firm and there wasn't enough projection at the wire for me. The 34 band feels better and the 34F (sister size to the 32FF) has more projection at the wire which works better for my breast tissue. However, there is still some discomfort in this bra. The primary issue is that the cups ... come up too high into my armpit and the straps are set too wide for me. This combination digs into my Tail of Spence and is quite uncomfortable. Additionally, the cups are a bit too wide for me. Finally, while I mostly fill out the cups while standing straight and still, they don't move with me very well (as often happens with molded bras). This creates a visible line under my clothes that is somewhat distracting.

Overall, this wasn't worth keeping for me.

This bra has wide set straps and has a gaping problem near the straps. I originally ordered a 34FF and loved everything about it especially the 3 hooks in the back but the gaping was so prevalent I sized down to a 34F. Going down a cup is okay..the band feels less firm as it now has 2 hooks and I really prefer the width of an FF cup over an F. The straps seem slightly less wide (though still kind of wide set for my sloping shoulders) and the cups gape less. It's fine when my arms are down by my side but if I start moving and bending over, I find the cups aren't really into molding with my shape. I have yet to wear it all day and will definitely update this review in the future with my measurements and a follow up regarding the comfort and shape holding.
