LOVE THIS BRA. It's super gorgeous and comfy! The only complaint I have is that the strap digs in on my smaller side... I think I can fix this by putting a cutlet in that side, though, because I don't have that issue on my larger side. But seriously. This is probably my favorite bra ever. The lace on the sides is just enough to make it not plain, without sacrificing function. It's basically invisible under clothing, gives an amazing uplifted shape, and it's a plunge so you know it'll look good in a low cut shirt. The wires are the perfect length and they're super firm so they give tons of support. I can't explain how much I LOVE three hook bands, thank you Parfait for putting them on your 32FF's unlike other bra makers... I'm gonna buy this in every color they have. I wish I had tried this bra ages ago.
I am just trying this bra and I love it too! I get a little bit of cleavage without quadding and something about the shape just really works for me. I don't have the exact size down yet, but waiting for 32FF to show up - this is starting to be my size in Parfait.
and ditto on the 3 hook! World of difference!
How is it for shallowness / immediate projection and a narrow gore? I've been eyeing it for awhile, but had a few bad experiences with other Parfait models being way too shallow and squishing me flat or way too spread out and squishing me sideways.
I'd say it's pretty good for immediate projecton - hard to tell though, because I have soft tissue and it's a plunge so I'm gravitating towards the center no matter what. The gore isn't super narrow but it's low enough that you shouldn't have an issue unless you have very close set breasts. They have one color available on amazon (I think the pink? Maybe light blue) that's only like 15 bucks and free returns, though, if you want a more risk free trial.
I really like the style of this bra. The cups are probably not a perfect shape for me, I get a little gaping at the very top near the straps but it's not an issue for me. Wires are a good length but holy hell are they firm. It's probably the hardest wire I've come across. I was able to adjust the shape of the wire with my hands but for a second I thought I'd need pliers. The bra is a little too wide set at the top, not sure if that will be a deal breaker yet. The band is a bit tight, also. I really ...love the 3 hooks, I don't find it very often in my size range but I can feel the extra support, and it doesn't give me as much back pudge as 2 hook bras. Because I have soft tissue and this is a plunge, it almost looks like I'm about to spill out of the center. I'm not, though, and I actually like it because it actually gives me a semblance of cleavage which will be great for lower cut shirts. The straps are also very hard, which will hopefully lessen with washes and wears. All in all, very beautiful, mostly comfortable. Read more 103 more words
My usual experience with Parfait is that bands run quite tight, so I picked this up in a sister size with the logic that I can't wear an extender with it as I usually do with bras. The band/torso seems quite large. Doesn't give any support/compression at all. Cheap, flimsy plastic boning does nothing to flatten tummy or reduce waist. Cups seem to run quite small.
Tried this one in the 34F also and that one fits much better for me, the 32FF seems to have a shallower top on the cup but deeper near the center so it was cutting into the top for me but wrinkling all over like it was too big.
The interesting thing about this brand/style is that the FF cup has a 3-hook strap whereas the F cup only had a 2. Amazon said the difference was between FF and G, I believe, so I wasn't expecting either of them to come with a 3-hook strap.
Love this bra fits me perfect gives me lift and cleavage and a nice round shape. It's comfotable and my normal size 32ff where I usually get quadra boob in Ther bras I don't in this one so order a size down so the cup isn't gapping at the top love this bra so much going to buy more!
The red fabric is really nice looking. As long as I stand up straight, it's super comfortable, but if I slouch, the wire pokes my armpit. I only just got it, but need to wear it on the tightest hook, so I am displeased with that (but the 30G's cups were too large, sigh...) Overall, very comfortable, and a nice shape.
its comfortable doesn't poke anywhere. But I don't like the shape it gives me. I feel that it flattens me out that when I look down I feel like there is no shape given just that it flattens everything. Also I had issues where i was spilling out of the bottom of the cup but if i move some ways there is space at the top. Seems like it won't stretch.
Love this bra and my man finds it so sexy I would upload pictures of me wearing it but some nipple does show through the lace on top. Its very comfortable feels secure I can't say if its runs small or large in the cup or band as I have nothing to compare it to atm. Very comfortable can't wait to get one that fits!
As other users have mentioned, this bra is rather shallow. Having owned this bra in 28H in wild pink, I decided I wanted to try a relaxed looser fit for days I am staying home with nowhere to go (which happens to be most days -__-). I went ahead with the 32FF and as soon as I tried it on, I realised the folly of my mistakes. The band is so loose it causes the cups to float away from my body resulting in the cups also feeling loose. I returned this bra.
Apart from the bad fit, I liked that the straps didn't look like utility harnesses. ...They are narrower than in the 28H and 28GG in this bra. A note on the satin-like side supports: they appear as though they offer added support and "gathering" qualities, however, the cups and overall construction of this bra is solid enough that I'm not sure the side supports have much of a job left to do. Of course, the effects of this were not felt in this bra since it was the wrong size for me. Read more 77 more words
Received this bra off ebay. The tag clearly says that the bra is a 32FF and includes the parfait by affinitas tags, however its measurements indicate that it is at least a couple sizes smaller. I may have received a defective bra or or a fake. As is the bra is completely unwearable, so I am returning it.
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.
This bra has the reputation of running small in the cup and tight/firm in the band, but I found that although it definitely does run a cup size small, for me the band fitted true to size and did not feel unusually firm.
I currently wear 30FF in Panache and lined Cleos; 32F in the (notoriously tight-banded) unlined Cleos. However, in the Charlotte Balconette, I need to exchange this 32FF for 30G, since I can easily pull the 32 band four or five inches away from my back even on the tightest hooks.
Speaking of the hooks, I love the three-hook closure and the wideness of the band to each ...side of it, which equals less back fat. This is the only bra I have ever tried on that has wings wide enough and wires high enough for me! (Although I'm petite, my breasts are rooted fairly low on my chest.) It contains sideboob and gives a lovely, smooth line under the arms. The Charlotte is pretty much perfection in that department.
If you need low wires and/or narrow wings, stay far, far away from this bra! Ditto if you have narrow and/or sloping shoulders, because the straps are the widest set I have ever encountered. Even my broad-for-my-height shoulders are barely wide enough for them.
Looks sexy as hell. (I'll definitely be getting matching panties when I get my 30G.) Gives a nice, rounded look under clothes; seams are somewhat visible, but I don't care about that. Gorgeous bra at a good price point. Read more 143 more words
The bra was a little tight the first time I wore it, but it stretched out (as most bras do). However there was a little heart charm that was on it that came off after the first wash https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Still, it's a good bra and pretty for a beige bra.
