I got this bra in a like new condition, fits like 30DD - too small in the cups for me. A well made bra - would like to try it in a cup or two cup sizes up.

This bra has a problem that I often run into lately: it fits perfectly around the underwire, but there is spillage on top.

I also feel like the cups are a little too far apart for me. That might be related to the spillage, actually.

I rated comfort and appearance low because the fit isn't ideal for me - I think I would like this bra if it matched my shape better. Quality is good though. I like this fabric - especially the inside of the band, where there is no exposed elastic. I also like the convertible straps.

I like the convertible hardware that detaches ... in the middle of the strap - but I'm not sure why they also included convertible hardware at the cup and band. Maybe it's there to support other strap positions, but the crossed strap position is the only one I need. The hardware in front poked me, so I'd prefer the mid-strap convertible hardware by itself. Then again, the bra seems to be made for someone with wider-set breasts and wider shoulders, so the metal poking in front might not be an issue for someone else.

I tried this 30F bra because the Simone Perele Inspiration 30E had spillage on top. This fit was actually worse for me, though. The 30F cups were too wide and too flat for me, and I still had spillage on top because I was flattened so much.

My favourite piece of lingerie. Gorgeous detail, perfect fit, totally comfortable. In love.

I love Simone Perele but the full-cup shape just doesn't suit me, I guess. It's really conservative, which I guess is expected, but also pretty flattening. Really disappointed because I looked at this for a long time. Somehow I quadboob a bit, at other times theres this bubble between the top of the cup and my breast tissue.

The band is tighter than my other SP bras, which is super exciting, but the straps aren't fully adjustable. While others have straps that just have lace overlay, these are actually the two-piece half adjustable straps.

This bra was gorgeous! Usually, I find white to be boring, but this was elegant and lovely, with delicate straps. Also, very comfortable. I'm not sure how well this would work for women with much heavier breasts, but it was supportive even though it was soft. Unfortunately, they did not have a smaller size in the store...I think this may have worked for my short-rooted, wide-set, deflated, soft breasts if I could have tried it in a 65D, although the band was extremely stretchy and that may have still been too big.

Major mismatch between my body and this bra. As soon as I opened the package I knew this would not fit. The bra itself is quite pretty....the sheer mesh and swirly flower-like pattern is delicate and feminine. The embroidery climbs up the straps. The color seems to have a touch of indigo in it. I think for someone with the right build for it, this bra could make you feel really sexy. Assuming it fits you more comfortably than it fits me, because everything about it (except the band) is uncomfortable for me.

The 30D band seems true to size. Snug, with a little bit of (not too much) ... stretch. The straps are a bit firm for my taste. They feel very rigid and uncomfortable. I'd hope they soften up with washing (but won't find out, because I'm sending this back.)

The cups are definitely not for shallow boobs. I get the feeling they run big, but it may just be because of the extreme shape mismatch. These are very deep and call for significant upper projection. The apex appears to be quite high on the cup (unusually so, compared to other seamless bras I've tried. It's at least an inch and a half above my nipple).

I have total gaping across the entire top of each cup, which also makes the very edges of the lace flare out weirdly. "Gaping" doesn't even sum it up...the top of this doesn't even come close to touching my skin anywhere. Not surprisingly, there is also wrinkling going on. I feel like if I could combine both of my boobs together, I might be able to fill this out. When I lift my arms, the cups dig into the side of my breast tissue, pressing it flat into my body and creating an unsightly crease (see pic). This is the same thing that's happened to me with unlined bras with build in "side support". Not a good look.

For the record, I am wide-set, splayed, deflated (especially the upper area) and very soft. Haven't found my perfect fit yet, but it appears it will be around a 28DD/30D. Still uncertain of projection ... because of sagging, shallow cups seems to fit better. Still uncertain of root width. Thought I was wide, but then found out it's because of being wide set and not due to the roots themselves...I think they're average. Maybe. Ha. I do seem to need a cup that allows for a bit more projection in the outer half of the cup, which is exactly the opposite of this bra style.

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.

This is my absolute favorite bra, though a 65F would suit me better. Slight quadboob, but nothing crazy. I would say this runs true to size in the cup, so don't order that size you can sometimes fit into like I did. Some people find the band a bit stretchy, mine was tighter when I received it but the measurement shown reflects how it fits now in a well used condition.

I used to be a padded push-up type, but this bra has converted me. The thin moulded cup gives a great shape and is easier to fit than unlined bras IMO. Sometimes my pierced nipple shows through a ... bit, but I don't mind. The unpierced nipple is a lot less noticeable through the fabric. As a bonus, my boyfriend loves how thin it is when he gropes me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> I'm pretty pale and the beige color makes this my go-to nude bra.

It's soft, it's comfortable, it's attractive. The quality seems good! I bought it used and after a year or more of pretty regular wear (it's my favorite!), it still looks very nice and new.

This is the best quality bra I have ever tried. The cups are so soft. But it is either built for more wideset boobs or the cup-size is too small. I believe it is a 30E equivalent, though Amazon sold it as a 30F. I'll need to try to find a true 30F (65G). The underwire digs into my ribs a bit as well.

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!

I love the material, and the adjustability, but it's too wide set for me, and a touch too shallow.

I LOVE the way the material feels. However, this seems to run wide and shallow. I'm returning this for a 30D.

It seems I can never quite make unlined bras work https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> There's some wrinkling at the tops of the cups. It's so pretty, I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet. The wrinkling is less bad with this bra than others I've tried ... It still looks pretty cute under a shirt and mostly invisible. The design isn't so crazy that it sticks through my shirts. The band fits tighter than my other SP bras (the moulded cup ones)

Beautiful design and great if you have less of a full cup on the top. Too large for me in the back.

I've loved the Revelation bra that I have in 65E forever. It is too small technically but I love it anyway. I was so excited to try a 65F, but this was a bit disappointing. I don't quite fill out the tops of the cups. (I guess I went from too small to too big.. quadboob to not even filling the cups.. ugh) The wires still feel a bit narrow. The material isn't nearly as soft or smooth. The band is a bit firmer, but that might just be because it's newer.

I wanted to love this bra, as it is beautiful and I did not have a black strapless until now, but I just can't. It's far too shallow for my boobs. These cups are almost flat. I don't fill out the bottom of the cups, and quad-boob out the top of them. If I scoop and swoop and really try hard, I can kind of get my boobs to settle in the bottom of the cups, for about 30 seconds. But for those 30 seconds, I have the perfect amount of lift and cleavage! The gore will not tack, due to the shape. Also, the band runs big. I can already fasten it on the tightest setting and could have done a 28 in the band. It's disappointing, since this bra is low cut enough to be worn with my deep V neck tanks and all of my summer shirts.

165 bras

My shape: Teardrop with immediate projection, as well as super wide (wraps about to my shoulder blades) and tall (within 2 fingers of my collarbone) roots that give me all the problems Shallow ladies have, with firm tissue that fights back when smooshed and that almost meets (less than 1 finger) on my sternum.

I tried this on at Intimacy because they didn't have my size in the navy satin-stripe and lace Amour push up (a new color for autumn 2015). This is how it fit on the TIGHTEST set of hooks!

Sadly, the band runs quite loose in the whole line of Simone Perele, so "the smallest band you ... have" was still quite loose, and was riding up even while I stood in the fitting room. I would say it runs at least one size big, maybe more.

The cups fit similar to the 65F - Simone Perele » Amour 3d Plunge Bra (13R316) in Mint and Navy in terms of shallowness and wire width, but they are even smaller - possibly 2 cup sizes small.

As with the Amours I tried, there is very little nipple discretion, so while very comfy and soft, the fabric padding doesn't do much as far as that is concerned.

The Mint colorway on the TIGHTEST set of hooks fit the same as the 65F - Simone Perele » Amour 3d Plunge Bra (13R316) in navy - too loose in the band, too small in the cup, a teensy bit shallow with slightly too-narrow wires, and NO nipple discretion, but very very comfortable. Too bad you can't alter cups that are too small!

Sadly, the band runs quite loose in the whole line of Simone Perele, so "the smallest band you ... have" was still quite loose. The fitter gave me a 30F, which fit at least a size looser than what I need, and the band was already riding up on the tightest set of hooks as I stood in the fitting room. It was about 1 full cup size smaller than my Fauves and Freyas in 30F, too. She did say they could easily alter the band down with their alterations service, but unfortunately there is nothing to be done about the cups.

The wires were a little narrow for me, but the whole bra was soft and very comfortable, so much so that I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't think to make specific note of it. (Note too that I have yet to find a bra that properly encompasses both the extreme width and shallow curve shape of my breast roots, so I also don't feel wires sitting on top of breast root tail like others might.) I also think it was just a little shallow for me, which contributed a little to the quadboob effect at the top of the cup, but I didn't have it on long enough to notice any migration or settling.

I do feel I should warn all ladies, too, that because it is so superbly soft, there is no nipple discretion at all - they show RIGHT through! It's almost as bad as my 30FF - Freya » Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501) , which has a cup literally made of just a single layer of stretch satin, and this Amour is supposed to be lined!

It's very pretty, so I'm a little disappointed. On the other hand, I guess the silver lining is I know ahead of time that I shouldn't waste my money buying this model, since they won't fit.
