Shape: mostly even, slight full-on-bottom. Small nipples. Average projection, wider-set, tall. Broad shoulders.

The first time I bought a Tamara was in a size 34DD when I measured as such. The uncomfortably tight band and the massive quadboob left a bad taste in my mouth for Parfait. While the structure was sturdy and the material very elegant, it was also totally unwearable. Fast forward to now.

I measure as a 32G across the board and rarely have shape issues causing me to sister size or size up. With Parfait I've learned to work around their crazy sizing by sizing wayyyy up. A 34G for me it is.

The Tamara ... is pretty much a bedroom bra if you buy it in your usual size. It is very shallow to push your boobs up to high heaven. The actual cups end about half-nipple height and the rest of the nipple is covered by some lacy stuff. The material is satiny and romantic. The boyshorts (which I haven't gotten yet) are of the same material and so the set is very sexy and coordinated.

However, the 34G doesn't really fit like an impractical bedroom bra at all. In fact, it fits pretty awesome. It lifts and separates, but not drastically so. The band is not very stretchy and has long wings, making a 34 feel very sturdy and supportive. The cups are short, but don't cut into the boobs, creating a fairly smooth curved shape. The straps are a little farther apart than most bras, but that is standard for most Parfait bras. It's as comfortable as any of my other bras.

Granted, I can easily make this into a cleavage-fest simply by adjusting the straps ultra short.

All-in-all a good second impression.

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!

Bought this bra when I still measured 34DD. Unfortunately it was too small and by the time I got around to trying it on, it was too late to return. This bra is very shallow and the band is tight. It fit more like a 32DD. The design also just didn't compliment my shape well at all. Hopefully it can work better with someone who has less projection and narrower roots than me.

This cup is way too small. I ordered a 30g off of ebay and didn't pay attention to sizing. It isn't UK sizing; it is a US 30G. I wear a 32g (or 30gg in UK).

Fits great, supportive and sexy. Doesn't really give cleavage, but good lift for that rounded upper boob look, even with my relatively empty on top/middle boobs. the shape is very much forward, uplifted, and projected. The straps are doubled in the front, which is probably a cute look when the straps are thinner. But the disco ball at the center gore has to go.

The bra fit me so wrong in so many ways in this size. I'm loving the look of it though and find it super sexy.

It's beautifull and well-made but runs small both in cups and band. 34FF runs like 32FF

This is a great bra I just ordered it in the wrong size. I havent worn it, just tried it on and put it back in the bag since it was too big around for me. I missed the return by date and the company wouldnt refund the money so I am trying to sell it. All brand new, never worn.

If you're looking for a beautiful, sexy, not-at-all practical bra, this might be a good one to check out. The eyelash lace at the top of the cups is simply gorgeous, and the rest of the bra is a satiny fabric. While the half-cup style makes this bra impractical for day-to-day wear (the fabric part of the cups comes just up to the nipple line on me, leaving a good chance of nipple slips), it imparts a good amount of support and lift. The straps are split in the front, attached to patterned elastic in the back, making them very comfortable. This bra fit me well for the ... most part, despite being a cup size too large (I normally wear a 28E/30DD), so I would suggest going up at least a cup size. The band doesn't seem to have a lot of stretch, so I would consider sizing up in that regard as well. The only thing about this bra that wasn't a hit for me was the cut of the lace- I just didn't fill it out well and I think it's because I don't have a lot of volume on top.

The Tamara is one of the prettiest bras that Parfait by Affinitas has, especially when they the pops of color, such as with the purple and black that I bought. I tried both versions of Tamara, the wired and the padded. The wired was a better fit, but still not great. There is a lace trim that goes across the top of the cup, but the top of the cup is lower, and quite honestly hit me around the middle of my nipple. The cup is slightly padded, even in the wired version, and the lace is very thin and does give a very seamless appearance. The straps have a split appearance and are not as adjustable as one would hope, but not horrible either. This would be a great boudoir bra, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it out in public. The rhinestone disco ball detail at the center gore is really pretty and does make the bra stand out even more. I really wanted this one to work for me, but unfortunately, it's a no-go.
