Just got this bra a couple weeks ago when I went to Nordstrom and asked to try some 30 band sizes. It was more comfortable and fit better than the others I tried but I noticed later that it comes up slightly too high under the arms and the binding on the top of the cup rubs on my skin below my armpits a little. I think it is better since I've washed it and worn it a little. Works well for FOB and holding in sideboob.

This bra fits deeper than most, so I need a cup size smaller than my usual. The wires accommodate narrower roots too, so the first time I wore this bra I found the outer wire painful because my "scoops and swoop" wasn't adequate. Since then I've been paying extra attention to the swoop and scoop when I put it on, and I find it super comfy with no digging. The cups are lightweight and breathable. Great for someone with all their breast tissue up front.

Very pleased with this bra. As someone with breasts that straddle a thin line between even and FoT, it is rare I find a plunge that doesn't cause quadboob, but this is definitely perfectly shaped for me. The cups are not too wide, nor too wide apart, the band fits snugly, and the material feels great. More amazingly, this colorway (Peau Rose), matches my skin almost exactly, which is unheard of for me. The bra just disappears under thinner or tighter shirts.
Only negatives: I wish the hooks were in columns of two, not one, to spread the band pressure out a bit. Smaller pet peeve is that the foam of the cup is so incredibly thin that a pointy nipple shape can easily push through, but that hasn't been an issue that shows through my clothes so far.

Honestly this is probably the best t-shirt bra I've found for myself. It's comfortable, and while it may not be a perfect fit to my shape my boobs do look good in it. I think my biggest complaints would be that the wire is a bit wide but that tends not to bother me because I don't have a lot of flesh under my arms for it to dig into, and the band seems to stretch out pretty easily. I do also have some gaping at the top of the bra but due to being molded you can't really tell, and hey, it's a t-shirt bra. It's surprisingly deep though and my soft boobs don't spill out the center so I'd call that a win.

This bra is so comfortable! I love how light weight and soft the cups are. I was recommended this one by the boutique I go to because the cups seem to mold to my uneven breast sizes better than most others. (left is about a cup size bigger...)

My shape: close set, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
I like this bra well enough for a moulded cup, it's smooth under shirts and feels better than what I was previously wearing. At first I wore this size with an extender adding an extra hook for it to feel comfortable, after a couple of wears the band stretched nicely and I can now wear it on the loosest hook. I also like that it seems to be somewhat more projected than many moulded bras I tried on, so it escapes slightly under my IMF line, but still feels okay when I wear ... it.
What I don't like: the wires don't go through the entire wire channel, there's a little gap, so a little tiny bit of breast can escape on the outer side on the top (you can push the wire from the gore to the outside, but then you loose the straight gore tacking on the sternum a bit, it's a trade off). Very slight quad-boobs on the center as well, but it's not noticeable. I also wish the gore was just a tiny bit closer together for my center-full breasts, but overall the fit is good, so I'm keeping it. This is my first bra review, thanks for reading! Also thank you to Reddit's ABraThatFits community for helping me out.
Edit on Feb. 22, 2019: I wanted to edit this review to add more thoughts after having this bra a while and wearing it more often. The cups are a little too shallow for me, the wire marks are always about a finger width lower than my IMF (around 1.5cm or 0.5" in), so I do have to adjust the bra throughout the day up. The lace underneath the band also bugs me a little. Overall, I'm still keeping this bra and the black colorway because they are my best fits. I can see wearing it occasionally when I need a smooth look under tight dresses/shirts, but they're not as supportive and comfy as I'd hoped for all-day wear.
Edit on May 19, 2020: So it's been about 15 months since I purchased this bra and it's been one of my most used when I need a T-shirt/molded bra for light colored tops. This bra uses excellent materials since I have only just recently (since Jan/Feb) moved up to the tighter second set of hooks. The straps are still supportive and look nice and the spacer foam fabric is great on hotter days. The only problem I have is some slight discoloration near the armpit caused by one of my deodorants, other than this the bra looks excellent.

Beautiful lace! Sizing down in the cups was definitely a good choice, band on the tighter end of Simone Perele bands which can often be quite stretchy. Note that the band is quite thin at the back clasp and has only one hook and eye closure in this size (3 sets of 1 hook and eye total). I also own the 30DD (30E in simone perele sizes) which has 3 sets of two hooks.

I am 5' 2" and have a short torso. I believe I have have narrow, close-set, full on bottom (FOB), center full breasts that are self supporting with immediate projection and short roots.
I have had a very difficult time finding a bra that fits, is comfortable, and meets my everyday needs.
That being said, this is one of the more acceptably fitting bras I've had thus far even though I measure and seem to fit best in UK 30FF or UK 28G. This Simone Perele bra seems to have deeper cups that can accommodate a fair amount of projection. I bought it from a boutique and was told ... the cups fit a full cup larger than labeled which explains why I can still sort of wear this bra despite the size not aligning with my measurements. I can't get it to stay in my IMF but there isn't a molded, padded, or otherwise lined bra that would accommodate the amount of immediate projection I need...I can live with adjusting this one.
This bra has decent nipple coverage although isn't 100%. Closest thing I've been able to find that I can wear as a t-shirt bra.
As short as I am I do wish the wires and wings were a bit shorter and that the straps were set in a bit closer. Things definitely get a little stabby under the armpits and in the tail of spence area after 4-6 hours but it's tolerable if you're not moving around too much.
I do spill out of the middle a bit and the tops of the cups do cut in slightly but I can live with it and it isn't noticeable to anyone but me.
Overall I'm happy with this bra...I just wish it wasn't discontinued and was made in another size that would more closely fit UK 30FF or 28G without such drastic changes in size scaling and construction. I have tried on other Simone Pereles and they become too tall, wide and lose their projection.

Incredibly comfortable! Love the way the spacer cups feel when wearing and love that they are a soft grab rather than firm to the touch. Does not conceal headlights but that doesn’t bother me. Beautiful lace, details, stitching. Cups aren’t the prettiest but an excellent choice under a wide variety of clothing.
