Not as much support as I would like. Good for low-cut tops. Gives a nice smooth line with a round shape under shirts. Although I haven't tested it out yet, it seems like this will be a good hot weather bra. The lining seems like it will be breathable.
UPDATE: After playing around with the shoulder straps for 15 to 20 minutes, I got a better fit so that the band barely rides up. It's definitely smaller than the Panache Eliza band, but not as tight as I feel I like. It is pretty firm and not stretchy though. If I buy this again I would go up ... a cup size. Although I do not have quad boob, the top of the center gore is pushed out slightly. Still better than a 38D, so I will take it. There is virtually no arm pit spillage with this one. The boyfriend I think likes the shape from this one. I would say that as far as the band goes, Parfait is true to size, as I've pretty much been in between a 34 and 36 since age 10. I think the cups may run a bit large, which is good since they only go up to a G!
Update 2: In order to keep the band from riding up, I've loosened the shoulder straps all the way, to the point where they may slip throughout the day. Since the cup seems to be too small and the band too big, the wires get pushed down below the root of my breast. I feel like I am having some tissue re-migration and the wires may actually be too wide on this. I really want Parfait to work for me, but I just don't see it happening. However, I am going to have to figure out a T-shirt bra and/or a plunge style that will work for me. Summer is coming quick!
