After recent weight loss, I desperately needed a new bra. I'm so glad I went to a shop instead of just ordering [one of those other molded plunge bras] online! Not only is this one significantly less expensive, but it also fits me better. I did have to knock points off for quality and comfort because one corner of the bra was poking me, but I filed it down a little with a nail file, and it's no longer an issue. As others have noted, the bands on Parfait bras do seem to run a little tighter than other brands, which is a good thing in my opinion!
band is waay too tight, i'm going to need to buy bra extenders for it. Unsure of the cup comfort, I have been unable to get it to fit right with the band being too small
I heard this brand runs small in the cups, but that is not true of this model.
I ordered a size up from my normal size & it's a bit too big (wrinkles on top). The wires seem okay though. However, in another bra by this brand, a molded style, the cups fit well in the 30E (I'd normally wear a 30DD). I think that sheer, soft cup, 3 part bras are simply made for breasts which are very round/full up top, and so they don't seem to fit me correctly (full on bottom), no matter the size.
The band does run small, which is great if you need a 28 (the 30 fits like a 28, IMO).
The band & straps are a bit thick. It's starting to look a little granny because of it. I can't return it, but I would if I could.
I got this as an alternative to my beloved Freya Deco. It's perfectly good, fits pretty well and stays comfortable throughout the day... but it's not the Deco (which fits perfectly for me). I would say this would be a good option for women for whom the Deco's cups are set too far apart or for whom the top of the Deco's cups sit away from the body, as it's cups seem softer and slightly inward curving.
I'll be keeping it until it wears out, as it does fit me very well, just not as well as the Freya.
This bra has got to be my saving grace, but there are some oddities about it. The shape is gives me from all angles is absolutely fantastic and the band is absolutely perfect. It's ridiculously comfortable. I finally have a plunge bra that doesn't suck! The weird thing though about is that because [TMI warning] my nipples are very close together and very high, even though plunge bras are the best for my shape, they almost no matter what poke out. Full coverage bras don't work well on me, and they're the closest I can get covering my nipples. Maybe if Parfait sold a 30GG, it would be good, but sadly they don't go up that far. The shape this gives me nonetheless, is awesome.
For me, it doesn't get any better than Parfait by Affinitas Casey or Jeanie. These are the 2 most worn styles in my collection. The 30G is a better fit for me now than the 30FF, but they are very, very close. The 30FF fits my smaller breast better and the 30G my larger better. Love this bra!
I'll start by saying that I won this, so woohoo! It's beautiful, but not necessarily an item that I would purchase for myself normally, though I may totally reconsider that thought now. I have this in black and it's just beautiful. The fit was great. Measuring was hard to do for the stretched band part as it doesn't seem to have the stretch as it actually does, which probably makes little sense to anyone other than me. What I mean is that just holding it, I wasn't able to get as much stretch with it as I was when putting it on. ...Once on, it was actually more loose than a regular Parfait bra in a 30 band in my opinion. More like the Jeanie or Casey I'd say. The back dips down farther than I'd expect it to, but I think if I wasn't wearing sweats as I did when I tried it on, lol, it would be beautiful. I've shied away from the Honey bra and babydoll for one reason, I don't love the straps with the funky ruffle on them, especially for a bra, but for the babydoll, it's perfect! I may have to change my thoughts on the bra now too, lol! Overall, I'm calling this a keeper and one I'd recommend to others who love the Parfait line! Read more 126 more words
Please see my previous review. I have this in both black and white with the same fit for both-they don't fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
This had an odd fit all around. The cups seemed too big and too small, wrinkled in parts, but also a bit of quadboob along the top of the cup. Definitely too wide for my already wide chest. Beautiful, but not the one for me.
I simply did not fill out the tops of this bra. It was passable on my larger breast but the gap was terrible on my smaller breast and the edge stuck out in a t-shirt. I did like the wider straps and that it prevented armpit and back fat.
I really like the lace detailing over the cups. It adds a little something to a standard nude bra.
It really is very comfortable but it, unfortunately, never fit correctly (both too big in the back and too small in the cups). From what I understand it runs larger in the cup than the standard bra from Parfait Affinitas so it could be a good Deco replacement for some.
I reviewed the Kimberly that is identical to this in design. It's a beautiful bra. The fabric is a gorgeous lavender and white. I truly wanted this to be a perfect fit, but it's not. The center gore does not sit flat. I have a fair sized natural gap and this seems to accentuate that I think. The bra has silicone strips on the inside of the band to help hold it in place when using it as a strapless, which I think is great. It wasn't uncomfortable at all with the silicone in there, though I did not do more ...than try it on. The straps I don't love as there is a large plastic circle for connecting the different parts of it together, and when I had the straps adjusted to a comfortable length, the ring dug into my skin a bit and I can imagine that with extended wear it would become quite uncomfortable. I'm really bummed about the fit of this and the Kimberly. I need a good strapless and I had really hoped these would be perfect. Read more 86 more words
This is the tightest 34 band I have ever tried. I wore it on the loosest hook for months, and it was still very firm. The colour, print, lace and bows are all beautiful! This is the prettiest bra I own! There is lace and ribbon along the top of the cups and the wings, and a purple bow with a crown charm at the gore. The straps are detachable, so it can be worn as a strapless or cross over bra, but not halter neck. However, it is too small in the cups. I normally wear a 32H, so a 34G is of course, too small. But ...it isn't unwearable. The gore sits no-where near my chest, but as I have very wide set breasts, it isn't cutting into tissue, so it's wearable. The underwires are quite high, and do rub over time. I can wear this bra all day, but am relieved to take it off when I get home. I don't know if I larger cup size would help this, but as G is the biggest parfait make, I can't test this.The cups have stretched slightly, they were too small when I first got the bra, but now fit comfortably.
This bra is going back. Although it fit for the most part, the underwire is a bit wide on me. I do fill out the cups, but there is no support so the girls look a little less perky than I would prefer. It may be because there is no lining?
I wanted to love this, but unfortunately I don't. It's pretty, as would be expected with a Parfait bra. I already have a pretty good gap between my breasts, and this just made it worse. I got quadboob, and it just would not sit well on me.
The cup size is great, but the band is a bit small. It's really comfortable and looks great! I love the red color https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is not quite right for me. I guess it does not cover enough? One breast spills out (even though the edge of the cup does not really feel tight) while the other has a bit of gaping along the edge of the cup. I know its normal for breasts not to be exactly the same, the fact that I sometimes spill out of both sides at the center indicates to me that this is not my ideal stlye. It could also be that the size is not quite right. It does often feel a bit too tight. However, I do like the cleave I get with plunge styles like this. And the fabric is smooth and stretchy.
Comfortable, and attractive with the lace on the edge of the cups. On the down side, the lace shows under some t-shirts, which isn't good for a t-shirt bra! The cups provide lift and support, with a generally rounded shape, somewhat flattened toward the front. Because of the low plunge, there's a tendency for my breasts to settle, spilling out in the middle while leaving the top of the cup a bit on the empty side.
