Very attractive bra. Love the details and love the THREE hooks... why are these not standard?!

Gore doesnt sit against my sternum and it sometimes feels like i am not filing the bottom but also quad boobing.. but I am not sure if going up a cup size qould fix that.. I think its just a design/noob compatibility issue. That being said... I think it fits and looks great when I get it in the correct position.

This bra fit, but was very oddly shaped. Rather than providing the lift and forward projection which I associate with balconette style bras, this one pulled my breasts down and to the sides.

It's also worth noting that unlike some of Parfait's previous models, this bra seems to run true to size.

After buying the 30G by mistake I re-ordered this in the 30FF. I think we have a winner. Right out of the package, the band is almost uncomfortably tight, but I have another Parfait bra in a 30F and the band stretched nicely after a few wears.

Just purchased. Gives great lift and separation. It's padded to help with the headlinghts. seems a bit snug in the band, but not constricting, I'm hoping that it'll break in okay. The lace isn't itchy, and it the cups are very supportive.

This bra runs extremely small.

I purchased this 30G from another bratabase member because she wrote that the bra ran small and was closer to 28G than the 30G on the label. Since I wear either a 28G or a 30FF, I figured I'd give it a whirl.

While the bra is sturdy and lovely to look at, I am getting severe quad-boob in it.

As for the band, it feels almost as tight as my Panache 28-bands (according to my measurements, the difference is about 3 cm stretched).

Overall, while I feel supported and sexy, the quad boob I'm getting is too severe to make this a keeper. I'd say this bra is better for a 28FF and probably not for someone FOT, as the seams on top of the cup are a firm and will probably cut into your breast.

I'm a little perplexed at how they managed to come up with this sizing.

It's very basic and plain bra, but I guess it will be good for it's function: go under tight T-shirts with V-neck and white shirts.
I think it's a good alternative to @Deco for girls who find its wires too narrow (like me).
I also gives more depth near the root than @Panache @Porcelain Plunge, so I'm not getting crease due to orange in the glass effect in this bra.
It's a little bit too big in the cups for me, it didn't show when I'm standing, but I'm getting gaping when I move my arms forward. I tried to measure as accurately as I can, but it's kind of ... hard, because supposed apex is higher than ends of the wires. I would tell that cups are quite tall and mold to give a very rounded shape.
Band feels pretty sturdy to me. I think part of it is side boning. And powermesh feels strong. Straps are fully adjustable, and in this bra I really appreciate that, because I had to shorten more then I usually do. So I guess it could be problem for girls with short torsos.
Shade of beige is quite light and truly neutral.

Overall verdict: nice basic bra for those who need wider wires and have fair skin.

So, the bra is small for my larger side and cuts in across the top. I was concerned the lace would be uncomfortable but it really isn't. It is extremely sheer which my husband loves and I like that the band has three clasps for comfort. Had I gone up to a G cup I think it would not be as supportive.

I have the Casey bra and I love it so much I wanted to order a similar bra online. Unfortunately for me, I mixed up the US and UK sizes and I bought a UK 30G when I meant to buy a US 30G (so UK 30F). The band fits fine and my breasts look good in it, but the underwire comes up and pokes me in the armpit in a most unpleasant way. I will probably re-order in a 30FF since my 30F Casey causes minor quadraboob.

After wearing 32DDD/34DD for a while, this was my first attempt at a "correct" bra. My underband measurement is about 28.5-29" so the band was snug at first but now it feels pretty good. The gore is nice and flat along my chest which is a new surprise, and the bra gives amazing cleavage, but I noticed the slightest bit of quadraboob although it is undetectable under clothing. I tried the Jeanie in the 30G and the cup fit nicely but the underwires went up into my armpits, so I think I'm probably a 30FF in Parfait bras.

I bought this bra because I fell in love with it's looks and it's colour. That being said, I've had it for MONTHS and have literally worn it once. After reading a ton of reviews, I purchased it in my normal band size, but a cup size up, knowing that the band and cup ran on the small size. Even with this it's too small. The first few times I wore it, the tightness of the band bothered me, but this last time I've been comfortable with the snugness (I think I may have lost a little bit of weight, my bras are fitting weirdly!) Regardless, going a cup size up did not help, and I'm quadboobing. I've since bought the other version of this bra in a 32F which is a better fit all round.

It feels like it compresses my breast tissue in and back towards my arm pits, similar to a sports bra. It doesn't have the projective qualities of most bras my size, Cleo, Freya, etc. It is so very soft though, and comfortable, would be great for a t-shirt bra the wires are a bit too wide though. If only the wires weren't so wide and it had more projection.

The 30F Parfait by Affinitas Donna Wire Bra is a non-padded, sheer bra in a lovely purple color. The wires are on the wide side, which works for me, and the band is firm. Back in September 2012, when I first got it, the embroidered upper section seemed too loose, but now it fits very snugly. The profile is not as rounded as my half cup bras' profiles. Since I prefer the latter profile, and I do have some unlined, non-padded half cups that will suit me in hotter weather, I am donating this bra.

This bra looks much prettier online. I think the mesh looks odd with the seems . It seems like it would be a good t-shirt bra because the seams are flat. The straps are too far apart for me and definitely a bit big through the cups. The back fit ok, I've read that this bra can run a bit small though. It seems like a decent quality bra and is comfortable, but I don't think it looks good enough to be paying that much for it. It looks very bright in my pictures but it isn't like that in person. I think it looks kind of dull and the detailing is a bit boring.

Updated on Mar 19, 2013 Flag this

I knew that Parfait was supposed to run small in the band and the cup so I bought a 30G hoping it would fit more like a 28G; instead it fits like a 30F. I get ridiculous quadboob in this, only made worse by swooping and scooping. I'm only keeping this as a "bedroom bra".

This bra is cut the same as the Charlotte and shares the characteristics of wide and shallow cups, wide and fully-adjustable straps and lightly moulded cups that give a rounded shape. The band also runs slightly small, but not to the same extent as Charlotte. I would say this fits like a 28 band, whereas Charlotte fits like a 26. The cups are also slightly bigger - I wear a 30G in Charlotte and the 30FF in this just about fits (I think I could do with a size between a 30FF and a 30G!). For reference, my 'usual' size is a 26GG.

If you are narrow-shouldered, this is ... a bra to avoid. The straps are very wide set and while I haven't worn this one, the Charlotte is exactly the same and caused me a lot of pain on the first few wears. After this I did find the straps softened up and I can just about get away with it, but it's still not hugely comfortable. I only tolerated the pain because Charlotte is so beautiful, but I don't feel like this one is nice enough to put up with it.

This bra has a lovely round plunge shape and holds my boobs up very well - they feel extremely perky! However, I'm not sure that the underwire goes up high enough on the sides/there seems to be some displaced breast tissue that I can't get to fit inside the bra. I also feel like I need to swoop and scoop often to fill the bra, yet a size smaller wouldn't help - when I do swoop and scoop, my breasts almost quad-boob.

Edit March 2013: This bra was obviously a band size too big and probably a cup size too small when I bought it so take my review with a grain of salt. I still wear this bra sometimes b/c even though it's too big it's smaller than a true 32 band. It does give a great shape and is comparable to the Deco.

Updated on Mar 04, 2013 Flag this

When I first got sized this was my new favorite bra. I still think it is beautiful and should have as good of a reputation as the Deco - especially since it's cheaper! It gives great cleavage. However, it isn't quite wide enough for my breasts.

I have this same bra in Berry, Dark Blue and Nude. This review is for the nude color.

This bra measures bigger than the same size in blue and berry colors. As such it does not fit me at all!

The 30FF of this cuts into the top of my breast but the 30G is a better fit, slight wrinkling in the cups but nothing too big of a deal.

Updated on Mar 02, 2013 Flag this

This bra is reported to be the same as the Casey but without the lace detail on the front.

They do not fit me the same. Perhaps Parfait has made some changes in their sizing?

This bra gapes too much on the cups, whereas a 30F Casey fits me perfectly.

Still a good choice if the Deco does not work for you.
