Just not quite right for me. Didn't run as small in the band as other Parfaits, IMO, and the cups were sort of pointy on me. I'm a 28FF on average, so I'm not surprised this wasn't quite right on me.

Cute bra! Everything is pretty comfortable. The top line of the bra seems a little strange, and wants to warp a little bit. Seams show through light to medium clothing. Comfy, I'm more of a 28 band, but this band runs snug.

I heard this bra runs small in the band, so I went with a 34G, because my measurements are in between a 32 and a 34. I probably could've gone with the 32, as I didn't find the band to be too small. The cups on this bra are much too small for me and the gore doesn't tack, so my suspicions that I need a GG or an H are correct. Oh well, at least I know now! That being said, this bra is very comfortable and flattering for full on bottom breasts. It's also very pretty, and the straps have a very huge amount of adjustments you can make. One thing I don't like is how wide the band back is, next time I will probably look at hooks, as I think I prefer a more narrow band. (That is just an aesthetic complaint!)

I'm torn about this bra. It's pretty and gives nice lift to my shallow breasts. However, it is a bit too snug in both the band and cups, so it's not very comfortable. I think if I were to size up it would be too big. The shape under clothing isn't nearly as nice as my Panache Cleo bras. Since I didn't get this as an every day bra, I'm not too worried about it.

This is a beautiful bra with a few imperfections, but a lot that's good about it. First of all, the bra is constructed with lightly lined smooth, soft fabric as the bottom of the cup, and a layer of intricate lace over a layer of tiny mesh cuts from the bottom of the strap to the gore. There are two large seams, one horizonal-ish running along the bottom of the lace, and one vertical in the middle of the cup. As far as I know, seams are where the nipples are supposed to fall on unlined bras, but not for me, not on this one - my nipples on both breasts fall under the lace and mesh. I am capable of pulling the cup or pushing my breasts around so that my nipples fall on the horizontal seam, but it doesn't stick and makes the cup wrinkle. So that's my biggest issue.

Other than that, though, the bra is very pretty, fits well, and feels tight and supportive.

My first impression: This bra is so damn beautiful!
My second impression: Only two hooks?

Because I heard that the band and cups run small on this bra I decided to order up to a 40F. I figured ordering up one band and one cup size would be adequate. While the band was fine, I could still stretch it out quite a bit away (it still feels supportive, but I like my bands to be very firm) from my body and the cups were still too small. Way too small. The gore comes out about an inch away from my chest. I'm sad that this bra doesn't fit perfectly, but at least this is a starting point for getting the correct size.

All I have ever owned are molded cup bras, because I like a rounded shape. But, I wanted something sheer that would be cooler in the Florida summer, since molded cups don't breathe. Because of that, I ordered this sheer cup bra.

The band is nice and snug on the loosest hook, with a 3 hook closure. The straps are fully adjustable.

I was really worried this was going to be too big in the cup, since the Bratabase listing for a 30FF gave me the warning that the FF would be too small in the cup. I decided ultimately to go with my normal Parfait by Affinitas size of 30G (I own Casey, Jeanie, and the Fiona camisole). However, if anything, I think the G may be too small in the cup. I get slight quadraboob.

I'm not sure if I like the shape the bra gives me. It gives me a pointer shape. Is it a sign the cups are too small or is it just the nature of a non-molded bra?

I like this bra better than the Jeanie. I wish I had the nude Casey instead of the nude Jeanie.

The band is really snug on me, in the new bra, but I'm sure it will stretch. The cups on this bra fit better than the ones on the Jeanie do. Not as much of an issue with the cups cutting into the breast tissue, but neither quite creates quadra-boob. I feel like this gives a more rounded shape than the Jeanie does. (Not that Jeanie is pointy, it just seemed less round than what I was used to with a Deco. The shape of Jeanie and Casey seems the same now that I have washed Jeanie.)

The band on this bra is definitely way more snug than I'm use to, but this is also my first attempt at a 30 band. So, far I like not feeling my band creep up my back, so I don't mind. This band may be more snug than other bands of the same size, but I have no other bands of the same size to compare it to.

I could possibly use a larger cup size, as the top of the cups do appear to cut into my breast tissue a little bit, but not bad enough to create quadra-boob.

The shape on this ... bra is a little different than the Freya Deco. I don't get the same really rounded shape that I do with the Deco. (Not pointy, just less round.)

I'm not really found of the color selection for this bra. I wish it came in more fun colors.

I'll update this review after the bra gets some more wear.

Update 7/25: While actually wearing the bra I discovered the band is too tight for my comfort. So, I bought a bra extender and am currently wear it one to two hooks bigger than the the loosest hook of the actual bra. Another problem I'm having with it that strap are really stretchy so I keep tightening them too much for comfort and having to loosen then back up.

An absolutely gorgeous bra, but didn't fit me in this size. Cups do run small.

It's a beautiful bra of moderate quality. I spill out of the firm, padded cups just a very little bit -- the bra is still wearable. Someone with firmer breasts may not have this problem (mine are quite "compliant" and like to take the shape of their container, and will spill out at the slightest provocation).

The dark teal color is amazing, and the silvery-gray embroidery is gorgeous.

It is also moderately comfortable -- I've worn worse and I've had better.

A middle of the road bra! C+

This is quite a decent bra, albeit I should be wearing a 32G. The bows on the bra are BIG and if you wear it with a thin-strapped tanktop they may be seen. There is embroidery on the cup which can be seen through a light t-shirt and the fabric design/colors are decent (but remind me of my mother's 1983 bridesmaids dresses). The band runs tight (I'm 31" underbust) and the bottom of the band rolls under after wearing it for a while. However, it is decently comfortable to wear all day.

This bra is horribly uncomfortable for me. Where the straps meet the cup digs in horribly on me since the bra is too wide and it makes it pretty much unwearable. The material is soft and it's a pretty bra though. If the cups weren't too tight, Id probably try to fix the straps. I also have wrinkling on the cups, but yet overfill them, Im not sure why. Maybe because it is kind of a foam cup and it doesn't quite fit me right?

I love this bra. My breasts are shallow with a wide root. It was hard to find a bra with wires wide enough to fully encompass my breast tissue without being too deep. Also, many styles cut across my breast tissue at the top. This solved those issues wonderfully. This bra gives me a good fit and I like the shape with clothes on. It's a fairly round shape, but not fake looking. It looks very classy, with a vintage-but-not-old-fashioned charm.

Band fits ok. This style is not good for me. Too much padding and the cups do not fully encase my breasts.
Cuts in on the top giving quad boob effect. Usually Parfait 30FF fits me fine.

The Angelina is a beautiful bra. It fit in the band (this was a little snug, but I suspect this would loosen up a smidge with wearing, and really a smidge would be all I'd need), and too big and too wide in the cups. Decided it was simply the wrong size for me.

This is the exact same bra as the Tabitha DD+ by Adore Me. I got one size larger in both cup and band because all I kept reading was how this brand runs small. I have to disagree, I think it runs true-to-size! Hence why I will be exchanging it for a smaller size.
Since it's too big, some of this stuff may be/feel different if I'm in a correct size.
The straps are too far apart, they kinda dig into the top of my armpit/shoulder area. The band is too high and touches my armpit. Cups too large, they fold over to form a gap right near the gore.

The bra is very satiny smooth, I just want to keep rubbing it.

I really wanted this bra to work, but it's just too small. The band is very supportive, and the padding on the cups is pretty thick. The look of the bra is sophisticated and a little sexy, which I like.

I thought this bra would be a sexy bra that you can wear every day, but after trying it on, I think it's a bedroom only bra. The cups are made of two layers, the lace overlay which is black and an underlayer which is grey. In terms of construction, it seams like each cup is made of one piece of fabric and one seam to form the shape, as opposed to having several pieces to create the shape.

Pros:
- I like the colour scheme and the lace
- I like the keyhole detail
- It's unpadded (I prefer unpadded bras)
- It feels comfortable
- The band feels nice and firm. Comparable to other bras I own and that fit me with the same band size.

Cons:
- The cups are made of a stretchy material so it's not very supportive
- There's not really any lift
- The centre gore is too wide for me

Overall, nice to look at but otherwise not too great.

I'm not sure how much I like this bra. It's definitely cute, but it seems a little too flimsy for larger busts. It definitely has too small a cup size, but I'm not sure how much support I'd get evenin the right size.

The center gore does not sit flat and there is definite quad boob. The mesh cups are fairly stretchy, but the trim at the top of the cups is not stretchy, so I think cutting-in will be a problem for a lot of people. There is some strange wrinkling/stretching in the band fabric between the underwire and the side boning. The band isn't even stretched that tight, I think the fabric is just too stretchy for my liking.

This bra is just not for me. It feels too skimpy. I prefer to feel more strapped in and supported. I think it would be better for someone who doesn't have heavy boobs, so they don't worry about it getting too stretched out.
