Great fit specially for under a shirt. I find the lace a tad itchy.

This bra's pretty and comfortable, and has great straps that can be worn regular, t-back, crossed, etc. There is a touch of lace along the side of the cup, and it is covered in a light, sheer mesh so that it won't show under clothes. But the band is CRAZY STRETCHY. I had it altered from a 32 to a 29. Now it measures at 24" resting, 36" streched. WTF. Even after alterations, it is loose enough that the back is very obviously riding up immediately after putting it on, and it pops over the bottom of my boobs when I raise my arms. With my other bras ... (all too loose), I see the back riding up just slightly after a full day's wear. What an expensive disappointment. If it was an option, I would totally recommend getting a sister size, like four band sizes down.
Update: Got it re-altered, to "27" inches, and they had to cut off and relocate the straps. Lost some stability/quality/whatever since the bands are now crappily sewn to just the top of the band now, but it feels great!

Because of the applique, it's tough to wear under thin shirts, but it's my best fitting bra thus far. Closest to a perfect fit I've found.

The cup on this one was way too big for me, as well as the band. I ended up selling it to a friend who seems very happy with it. Appart from that it was well made and comfortable, but it did have the too wide straps which seems to be a common thing with Simone Perele bras.

I bought this bra brand new (and paid the full price for it too!) and I love it. It's comfortable and it looks great and fits even better than my other Andora (which I got used through bratabase).

When I received this bra it it was too small in the cups and seemingly too big in the band, to top it off the straps were too wide.
I've lost some weight since then and the bra now fits very well, even though it's still loose in the band it doesn't ride up, and now that the cups fit my breasts better the straps don't slip as much as they did before.
It gives me a great rounded shape and it's incredibly comfortable.

Much much too small https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I was hoping, but just no.

The band was too stretchy and the bra looked just okay on me. The cups fit fine but did not offer enough lift.

I Love the way this one looks on me! The straps are wide-set, but not too far they slide off my shoulders. They're nice and thick, so they're very comfortable. The lace is very pretty and flattering, but not quite smooth enough to wear seamlessly under tighter shirts.
When I'm sitting I can feel the top of the underwire rubbing on my arm a bit, but so far it's not too intrusive. I have a ring of poof right on my ribcage so underwires in general aren't the most comfortable on me (they all seem to hit right on that line), but this one feels great! The gore doesn't lay completely flat so in theory it might not be the exact size I need, but it's still very comfortable. I'm new to this idea of getting a bra that actually fits, so even if it's not absolutely perfect it still feels wonderful compared to what I used to wear https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Very comfy, cups just too small for me which is surprising because I wear this size in the nude color.

Beautiful bra, especially nice set with the tanga. Nice perky shape. Prefer the unlined Celeste though.

Even those this is supposedly a 30 band, it stretches to 33! Cups run very small (compared to uk sizing), I would need 2 cups sizes bigger and 2 band sizes down for this to work. Lace is sharp and harsh feeling again skin...not what I was expecting from a bra made in France.

I choose 'fits' but there's a little spill on the top and it often cuts into the tissue when the period is coming...In other days it's quite comfortable and invisible under any shirts. The width of cup seems small but I feel like the wire expanded in width when wearing it. The touch of cup is so fantastic. (It's strange that the past measurements indicate that the bands are much longer than average 70E, but mine is good)

Lace, 2 part vertical seam cups, unpadded, unlined
The bad...
Straps are too far apart for me. I don't have enough experience fitting my new boobs into bras to know whether I could change sizes to remedy this, I imagine it varies by brand? The straps stay put while I'm moving around, standing, walking, etc, but when I sit down they start slipping off my shoulders. The only other negative I can give this bra is that the lace will show slightly through thin/light shirts.
The good...
This is now the most comfortable bra I own! It conforms to my shape without bullying my boobs like some molded/firm ... cup bras do and still gives a nice round shape under clothes. I have to wear a bra to bed for 6 months and I change into a soft sports bra at night, but slept in this one last night just fine. The band stays put but it does have more stretch to it than others that I have tried, which adds to the appeal for me.
I'll be moving the straps to fix the slipping problem, but this is definitely a keeper!

I've got shallow breasts and this bra doesn't deform due to that which is nice. The lace on it is very pretty to look at. It's a very comfortable bra, no poking or scratchiness. The only con I can think of is the lace detailing on the front of the bra sometimes collects bits of fluff from my shirts and it attaches to it so I'll have to pick it off or live with bits of black/grey/blue fuzzies on my bra. I got it in a spring seasonal color of Papaya.

I was in love with this bra, I really REALLY wanted it. Someone go buy this for me, okay? It was super comfortable, and after having tried on 10000000 bras, this was one that automatically was a winner. I didn't buy it though, because it was so expensive.

I know that bratabase says that this one doesn't fit, but it /almost/ does. It's not even a half-size too small in the cups for me personally, so I'll make do. It's so thin and soft. I'm not exactly certain what the spacer fabric actually does, but it sure does feel good. My only reservation about this bra is that because the cups are very thin, it's no so good when, er... it's chilly outside. But under a shirt, that's barely visible, and the thin cups also serve to not add bulk where a lot of us need no bulk added. And though I've never had a problem with skinny straps, the straps on this bra are thick and comfortable, which is worth noting. Looks-wise, it's not my ideal cup of tea (I truly prefer my basics to be utterly basic, even without lace), but it's a nude bra.

This is so comfortable. I haven't had it long enough to see how it wears in the long run, but I picked it out while shopping at Intimacy with some help from a fellow breastfeeding employee and it was instantly my favorite out of all of them that I've tried on. I am breastfeeding still and it folds down and comes back up nicely. My only complaint is I can't fill it out perfectly up top. It's a beautiful color (Chestnut) as well!

Straps are a little too wide (cutting in) but not terrible. Cup is nice and smooth, not too high. Definitely feels like the band is too big, and I think the cups are narrower than ideal. Might have to return this one.

I was looking for bras that wouldn't cut into the pectoral muscle and this DEFINITELY fits that case, hooray. It's not a perfect fit - shape of the cups is slightly too narrow, and I get an extra fold of lace on the top. It's way more lacy and transparent than I expected, hence the lack of pictures.
