It should be noted that Simone Perele uses a different measuring system (https://www.simoneperele.com/i13/size-guide/information.html). They skip DD entirely, so I think this bra might best equate to a 36DD UK rather than a 36E UK (though the tag does state E 36). I don't really know.

This bra is super comfortable. This is the first bra with a taller gore that has not bothered me in the slightest (I'm at about 6 hours of wear currently). It basically feels like the gore isn't there at all. Which is a good thing!

Unlike many lacy unlined bras I've tried, this bra has a band of ... elastic at the top of the cup. This could be an issue if you are VERY full on top, or if you have firm breasts. Mine are very soft so they basically listen to whatever shape I tell them to conform into.

The band material is not quite as stretchy as my Curvy Kate unlined bras, but still pretty stretchy.

As for the shape, it's not the most flattering I've ever seen. The cups tend to pull my breasts out towards the sides, which makes them look smaller than I prefer, especially on my frame. Without a shirt on, they appear a bit pointy due to the one vertical seam running up the center of the cup. With a fitted t-shirt they are easily rounded out, but still seem a bit pointy. The pointy-ness is exaggerated on my smaller side

Overall, I love the comfort of this bra, it'd be great for everyday wear, but probably not a great figure-enhancing bra.

Simone Perele bras are always gorgeous, with soft, elegant lace and delicate styling. I love the look of these bras, but unfortunately they rarely work out for me.

While all SP bands are very stretchy rather than firm, I've found that there's a lot of variation in how they measure. This particular style is a standard SP band with narrow wings, and it measures much bigger than my other SP bras, so it is decidedly too big.

Simone Perele is no stranger to strap detailing, and this style has an embroidered overlay of flowers and what looks like dragonflies covering the front portion of the straps. ... Since this detailing goes quite far back, it's possible that on someone shorter than me that the straps could not be adjusted short enough. I was left with 1.5" inches to go once the straps were comfortably adjusted.

Cup-wise, this fits very similarly to my other SP unlined demi cups and is very similar to the Promesse Demi. Compared to other brands, these cups tend to have a deep U shape, and run narrow and tall. The binding at the top is fairly closed off. The interior of the cup has a tulle panel that runs diagonally through the cup and is seamed into the cup's middle shaping seam. This seam is not as tall as the one on the Promesse, meaning the top of the cup is fuller, and the cup itself is also taller, which means it needs even more volume on top to fill it properly The cups give a good rounded shape, but are most suited for breasts that are narrow, round, projected, with average roots. It's too narrow for wide shapes, too projected for FOB or shallow shapes, and too closed off for tall roots.

On me, the band is definitely too big and doesn't provide enough support. The top edge sits flush against my skin, but there's a lot of excess fabric right below the elastic. While the cups are the right volume for me, the shape is not a good fit, and my body doesn't fit into the cups to fill them out the correct way. I had the same issue on the Promesse Demi, but since the Amour cups are even taller, the problem is exaggerated.

OMG, I have never seen anything so ridiculous in my life! I sized down in the band, but this one fit on the longest hook, just the way it is supposed to. But the cups!!!!! It's crazy narrow and very projected, and with only one dart for shaping in the cup,combined with the 1/4" elastic along the top edge of the cup...my, oh my...can can anyone say "pencil tip"? This is worse than the 50's pointy look.
Now mind you, I have a short, average root, and projected shape. That top elastic edge is great for short roots, but it quadded even on me. The cup was filled out but that one dart leaves a very unpleasant ending point.
Too bad, too, because it is otherwise a beautiful bra.

Beautiful bra, nice quality. Slight forward projection with the side mesh inside cups. Band very stretchy, and cups not deep enough (possibly), and doesn't accommodate full breast tissue on top.

I was excited for this bra because it is a half cup that comes in a smaller band size. However, the band is not true to size at all and is very loose. There is a very rigid seam at the top of the cup which would cut into fuller on top shapes. Otherwise, the lace is very pretty and I was so hopeful!

this is very pretty bra and somehow the lace manages to lie flat under a tee. The cups have very stretchy soft lace and create a perky up lift. However when I wear the bra for some time the band starts to ride up and the cups down. Also I feel like the straps slip some but I don't know it if only feels that way because the rest doesn't stay in place

It is a very pretty bra and the wires are the perfect width for me.
The band is too big, but I got it with the intent to alter it.
The fit would be better if the straps were slightly closer together, but I wouldn't bring them in much so I don't know if I will bother unless the wrinkling and gapping gets on my nerves (it probably will).
The cups only have one seam for support. I think cups with multiple seams work better for me.
The decorations do show under thin, light shirts, but I don't have many of those so I will have plenty of use for this bra.

This bra is BEAUTIFUL, but there are a few issues. The band is crazy stretchy (as was the other SP bra I tried on) which leads to it not feeling as supportive. The straps could use to adjust shorter as well. The bra did not poke under my arms though which is definitely something that happens to me all the time. The bra also was just the slightest bit too small in the cup, so I'd say it runs small compared to other 30F bras.

This bra is comfy for the most part, but the band is too stretchy for my liking. Also, the straps are too far apart, to the point where the cup rubs the front of my armpit wrong after a long day. Other than those two issues, I like this bra.
