It's very tight for a 34 band, and without a lot of stretch. (Even fully stretched out, it's only 33 inches.) The gore sat flush, but the cup was too narrow for my wide-rooted breasts. The biggest issue was actually the wideness of the straps, which immediately started to rub on me where they met the cups.

Doesn't quite fill up the top--close, but not quite. Strange shape--the lined portions make that area lie flat and at an angle, instead of rounded. Fits wonderfully around the sides. Band is strangely short; I can hook the third hooks, but that's it. The gore doesn't lie flat, but it's close; the sides are pressed in, which narrows the seperation between the breasts. Lovely colors. Comfortable fabric.

Tried this because I love the idea if moulded cups but deco is too shallow for me. This one has a bit more projection than the deco, but the apex is a bit higher. I need my projection right away at the bottom. So on me, I got the bottom of the cup folding and the wires riding down. Not quite as comfy as the deco either, though the lace detail on the sides makes it prettier.

The foam is thinner than the deco- so I would anticipate it to be more accommodating/forgiving of shape differences than the deco. In my case, however, it means that the fold at the bottom from pack of projection is much much more obvious.

I am very impressed with @Parfait bras. It seems like they took some of the best features of various bras and incorporate them into affordable, stylish bras. They routinely include side boning, three hooks, high wings all which make them very comfortable and supportive. The negatives for me are that most of their bras are too wide without enough immediate projection. Great bras, affordable price point. They would probably work better for shallower and firmer breast than mine

I'm generally a Freya 34FF so that's what I'm going to use as a point of comparison. I also bought the molded/padded (non convertible) Kimberly in 34FF. The Kimberlys' bands were 2 inches shorter than the Freyas' (one deco, one longline halfcup) which might be good for some people. I like stretchy @Deco bands, so this wasn't so great for me, but that is why we have extenders. The cup of the non-convertible Kimberly had the same wire width as Freya, but it was one size shallower. The convertible bra was a joke! The non-convertible's 34FF underwire was a size ... 44 wire (www.bramakerssupply.com sizing) so theoretically, the 34G should have been a 46. No, the manufacturers jumped up 4 wirelengths, to the size 52, effectively squishing and stretching the cups out to 42D (on a tight 34 band). I've never seen a white pinstriped bra before, so I didn't want to lose this one. So I went online, bought a pair of 44 wires, seam-ripped out the 52 wires, and popped the new ones in. The original wires are very flexible and spread easily (the non-convertible is the same way, so maybe parfaits are just cheaply wired). If you want a 28" band, replacing the wires with better ones might make you feel a world of improvement. Also, they have this way of twisting forward that the replacement wires and my Freyas do not and they're embarrassingly creaky. Now the bra lays almost flush against my sternum, and it'll probably be perfect when I'm at a lighter, less busty, summertime weight. The replacement underwires are a little too short for the cups vertically, so I'm considering adding some more plastic boning by the outer sides of the breasts, or I'll get lazy and always utilize the straps.

It fits my smaller boob well, but not the bigger one. It has a great shape. Eventually the wire poked out of the bra. The foam is not as sturdy as a Fantasie molded cup.

Beautiful, but the wires were too high on the sides for me

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
