Where to start? Plunge bras and I are not meant for each other. I also have trouble with this particular brand. The cups are clearly too big -- there's bottom space and gaping on top, but I'm still falling out of this bra in the center. The straps sit on the far edge of my shoulders, which doesn't help anything. And something weird is going on with the center gore -- it's not the right length, and it's too short to hold me in or up. These cups are wide enough to catch my side breast tissue, but this bra has so many other issues for me that ... it's a disaster. My breasts are not at all full enough to fill it.

Quality is good, but in line with the price point and probably not quite up to Elomi- or Fantasie- level quality. It seems sturdy though. The band is snug -- I find that this brand generally runs tight. This one isn't quite as tight as the Arabella Balconnet in the same brand, but it's still closer to a 34 than a 36.

This bra seems like it might be better for people with more rounded, all over fullness who have successfully worn plunge bras in the past. I'd hoped it would work because, once you branch out from Wacoal, it can be harder to find these more neutral colors in my size.

bought this for a friend, didn't fit her. i don't have any info on it otherwise as its faaaar from my size, but in my experience Parfait by Affinitas runs tight in the band and shallow. this band is definitely snug, she needed an extender to try it on, and it is possibly exacerbated by the 3 hook closure. i bought it for really cheap though, so im sure i can find a good home for it here or on braswap!

This bra seems alright. The straps are wide. The band is a weensy bit too tight in my opinion, but it is obvious to me that I would have to go up a cup size to give this bra a fair review based on construction. Because the cups are way too small, everything about this bra is uncomfortable. I wear a 30 G in the Parfait by Affinitas Casey molded bra, I will remember to size up when purchasing this brand.

The band's about right for a true 30; therefore too loose for me. Seems fairly shallow at the bottom, as I had some folding, and it created gapping on top. Would have loved for this bra to fit, as it was so cheap, but it doesn't seem all that wearable for me. Would be a nice molded t-shirt bra if it did fit.

Very wide & tall. Just not right for me.

I recently learned that I have been wearing the wrong size for years! This bra has only been tried on a few times. It has never been worn for longer than a couple of minutes. The band is true to size and the cups hold their shape. I ordered the wrong size and would like to find this bra a new home.

I've had the unpadded Kelly bra for a long time and always liked it, so when I saw a padded version that came in nude on Zulily, I snatched it up. When it finally arrived and I put it on I was so disappointed! The shape was weird and the cups felt alternately too big and too small (a problem I have with basically every padded plunge ever). A week later, though, I wore it to work, and everything seems pretty okay. The shape of the wires isn't quite right so it sits a little weird on my chest, but it's nice and tight and I don't see any gaping or quadding through a shirt. It's far from the perfect nude t-shirt bra I'm seeking, but it's plenty good for now.

This bra fits, but I don't think I'm going to keep it. It has a more natural shape, and I prefer the shape of the Casey.
I like the side boning and the wide band a lot. Also, even though the gore is high, it does not dig in at all. The "european nude" color is a little dark for my skin tone, but close enough that it doesn't show under light shirts.

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!
