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.
Shape of the cups does not work for me. It is too pointed and cuts into my breast. If you have more of a sloping shape this might work. Lace is very pretty and soft. Cute details, but wrong shape for me.
Inside the band are 2 "wavy" rubber lines that help hold the bra in place. Comes with removable straps that are partially adjustable (front of straps are split into two).
The nude color is a nice nude - not too yellow or dark - works nicely with my more fair pinkish skin.
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 a bit small. I think the band is way too stretchy as well. The straps do not adjust short enough either. However, it is a BEAUTIFUL bra, and I really wish it was made in a larger size and with a firmer band. I'm unsure of my own projection and things as I'm just getting into this, but I'd say it's probably not that projected.
Very comfortable cup fabric. Tight, elastic stitching along inside cup edge causes it to cut into tissue slightly. Underwire ends 2cm before end of cup in center, so center gore lifts off chest.
Ultimately a bit of a shape mismatch for me. One of the few bras that I've found with a narrow enough gore and straps that adjust long enough (and sit close enough together) for my shoulders. It looks like a perfect fit from the front, but when I check it out from an angle the profile is lumpy- there's a noticeable pocket of space at the bottom of the cup, and possibly even a smaller one at the top as well. You can't tell under a shirt though, and I would be keeping the bra if it weren't for the wires being the tiniest bit too narrow. So frustrating, because this bra is really pretty, and the fabric is soft. It would have been extremely comfortable if it had only been wide enough.
Band was too big and very stretchy, to the point where I was sore after a day of wear. The cups were a little too wide. The cups were set too far apart (gore too wide), which is why the underwire comes up a little too high in the middle. and to wide set apart. Liked the fabric, and the decoration, but this is really the wrong size for me.
So close but not quite! My breasts are fairly low-set, and the straps on this bra were great- lots of room for adjustment, whereas I'm usually lengthening straps as far as they'll go. Gore looked like it tacked, but *may* have lifted a bit along the bottom with deep inhalation. Slight quad boob at top of cups. I was surprised until I saw another review that mentioned the french sizing system: this 65E is the equivalent of a US 30DD.
The Aura was one of the first post-enlightenment bras that I tried. Naturally, it wasn't quite right. Overall, the fit is not the worst, but a bunch of little things make it not my favorite bra.
Since it is a 30 band, I find it too loose compared with my 28 band bras. On the loosest setting, the band does ride up. The cups were not meant for my shallow boobs. I don't have wrinkling in the cups or too much quadboobing, but the cups are a little deeper in the center than I would like. The oddest thing about the bra is the "cookie" pouches. The bra has built-in pouches to contain removable push-up pads.
The materials are pretty nice. I have no complaints about the comfort of the underwires and gore, though it may be because the bra is a little big. The gore is very low, which I like.
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.
I LOOOOOVE how comfortable this bra is. Me and my Fiance have always called this "the comfy bra" from the first moment I tried it on. I really should have sized up in the cup from my normal size so the center gore laid flat (so close) but with this style Although, it's not very pretty. They seem to me to be trying to make the designs on the bra pretty big to make up for the lack of frill.
The band has loosened quite a bit in the month I've had it, but it feels really nice and soft. The cups look like a high balconette bra and look slightly more pointed rather than round. It is a nice red colour with delicate embroidery, so I am definitely only hand-washing it.
This bra is the only one I've found thus far that even remotely fits me. My only complaints are that the brand doesn't make 28" bands, and that this is frequently labelled as a 3D Plunge, with no note that it's a full cup. It does plunge a little, but I'd call it more of a balconette/full cup. Simone Perele does not use DD, so a F cup is actually three cup sizes above a D so, 30F(Simone Perele)=30E(UK).
I love the simple beauty of this bra. The material for the cups is amazing--it is super lightweight and breathable, but it still moulds without giving me (as I like to call it) robot boobs. My only issue is with the straps: they are just a bit too wide, so they frequently slide off my petite and narrow shoulders.
I bought this bra to fill a void: a simple, beige, moulded cup T-shirt bra. Unfortunately, I was talked into this bra by a sales woman and it just doesn't fit well. The band stretched out a lot, and the cups are just too small. It's a pretty bra, but just not right for my body.
I have learned quite recently that plunge cut bras tend to work better with my close-set boobs, but it can be difficult to find plunges that are supportive enough. This one is supportive as well as beautiful, and the lace is surprisingly soft and comfortable. The band is stretchy but has a good grip and the straps are angled in the back, so they stay on my shoulders well. While the underwires are just slightly shorter and narrower than ideal (for me) at the underarm, they don't poke because the wire channels are substantial and soft. I generally like the way that this bra fits and the slightly push-up shape that it gives.
I've only had it for a few weeks and washed it once, but it seems well-constructed. I think it will hold up well.
Not in love with the way the underwire feels under my arm, but it's fine other than that. The silhouette means that I can wear more generously open-necked shirts with it, though not anything that plunges too deeply in the center.
