I'm not a huge fan of this bra. The straps do not shorten enough for my body, and I feel like I'm spilling out of it all the time. I am constantly readjusting just to get everything back in place. I have also found that it makes me look and feel bigger than I actually am up top.

I don't have that much luck with Parfait by Affinitas because most of their styles top out at a G cup and I find the cups can run a little small. Needing a 30G in other brands, that means I'm often out of luck. I also have only found one b&m store so far where I could try them on without ordering blind online. And why so few measurements on Bratabase for their new models? I would order more if I had something to go by. But I digress.

I was impressed with the quality of Parfait By Affinitas Fiona Balconet Molded Padded Bra (2701) The ... material feels very smooth and nice and the cups substantial and high quality. They are quite thickly molded, but soft to the touch. The champagne color is beautiful and I even liked the lace although I'd prefer something that would show less through my clothes. I do wonder how well it would hand wash without getting wrinkly, but even the satiny feel to the material felt nice and not cheap. The straps were the only let down for me. The folded detail at the front is a pretty touch, but it makes them stretchy like an accordion and they are only partly adjustable, so I couldn't tighten them enough for my petite frame and high-set breasts. I kept wanting to pull the bra up.

The 30G in Fiona actually fit me surprisingly well. I found the band to be comfortable and the cups seemed to contain me well, minus of course that I needed the straps to be tightened more. I don't know if I'd get my usual quadboobing in Affinitas' 30G if I could tighten it the way it needed to be. All in all I was very tempted to buy this bra at around $30 on sale. Maybe a strap saver would have done the job. For now it's on the wish list only because I don't have any space for more padded bras and it just wasn't the right pick for summer.

Worn for half a day so I couldreview it, but it doesn't fit well enough to keep.

Beautiful bra. The color is classy and subtle. The straps have a cool pleating detail along the front side. The brown lace is exquisite and the quality over all is top notch.

Runs small in the band and cup, so it fits like a 28G, which is my usual size. But the fit is just slightly off for me. A little too shallow in the cup, a little too wide in the wires, the gore doesn't tack but only a little, etc. Recommended for an average profile—not extreme in terms of any shape, placement, or depth.

My only real complaint is that the straps, as pretty as they are, don't adjust short enough.
