This is a gorgeous, moulded, demi-cut bra. The multi-layered bow and victorian charm are a classy touch.

The band is very tight for a 30, which is nice. The 3 hooks are even nicer. The straps are a bit thick, but they keep the pinstripe look going, so it's worth it. The downside to the pinstriped straps means they are only halfway adjustable. While I normally have to do some serious strap adjustment, I didn't in this bra, so the partially-adjustable straps weren't a problem.

The cup is shallow in the center, like most Parfait's I've tried. That being said, the gore does tack, and it's a better ... fit than my 30F. There is a slight east-west appearance, but whether that is due to the shape incompatibility (center heavy boobs getting pushed out by a shallow centered bra) or due to cup design, I'm not sure. The cups are on the verge of being too tall at the edges (but I need a very short cup).It gives just enough cleavage to be classy without feeling squished/like I'm falling out. The lace on the top of the cups will show through a thin shirt.

Despite the shape incompatibility, I love this bra. The pinstripes make me feel like a 1920's gangster while the white lace and the bow and the victorian charm make me feel like a sexy, supported french maid. I wish I could wear it as a top (it goes so well with with my pinstripe pants!).

I got this bra at Burlington coat factory super cheap. Oh how badly I wanted this to work, I love the way it looks it reminds me quite a bit of EM's prohibicja, but much cheaper. But unfortunately that's the only pro I have about this bra. It's uncomfortable due to the band being really tight, but this might be a plus for people who need a 26 or tight 28 band. I find it small all over actually do I would recommend sizing up in band and cup. The cups, well just horribly wrong for my shape, they're spaced far apart and where the apex is gives a very east west appearance as well as being pretty shallow near the gore so quite a bit quadding in the middle as well as causing the gore to float. The wires are really wide and not too comfortable on my ribcage. The straps are very far apart and dig into my arms. And... That's about it.

I really like this bra! There are a few small issues but definitely getting closer to A Bra That Fits https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I am fairly even with firm tissue. Overall this bra works pretty well with my shape. I think it may be a tiny bit shallow on the bottom for me as I noticed the cups slightly buckling underneath. Other small issues are that the band on this runs rather firm and the straps are set too wide. I have another Parfait by Affinitas bra that has wide set straps, so maybe it's this brand. This bra also feels as tight as other 28 bras I have. Still, I'm quite happy with the shape it gives me and will look for styles similar to it.

This is a very comfortable bra, but it's a little small in the cups. I feel like I'm in between a 30FF and a 30G size - sometimes 30Gs are a tad bit large on me, and the 30FFs I'm currently trying are a tiny bit small. However, I'll probably keep this bra and wear it anyway since it's not uncomfortable and I figure it's okay to have one or two bras a little small in the cups for times when I want very, very pronounced cleavage anyway https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

The design is also very cute!

NOT good for shallow, full on bottom breasts. Could not get the gore to lie flat, and it constantly kept worming up onto my breast tissue. Too bad-- it's so neat looking!

So pretty, gives a great shape, but just so uncomfortable. At first I thought I would get used to it, but something about the band just isn't happening. It feels really stiff https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I'm about a 28.5-29 underbust and this is a 30, but it's just a very stiff material and not comfortable :/ Cups are true to size and looks great on; I might recommend sizing up in the band though

I wanted to love this bra, I really did. The price was right and it was really cute. But, it just didn't fit. When I first got it I thought it was tight, but, most bras are and I figured it'd stretch out. It never did. I also lost some weight and now the cups are too big. The bra just doesn't fit me right.

This bra is very cute and appears to be made of nice material. However, it shows under my clothes sometimes if the fabric is light or too thin (just the stripes, not the texture). It is also extremely, extremely tight. I normally have problems with the 30in band size stretching out and being too loose, but, this one just won't stretch out! It's very frustrating. I'm disappointed in the overall fit/comfortness of it because I've never had a bra not be comfortable since I was appropriately sized.
