Simone Perele's Caressence Shaped Full Cup in 65F is apparently equivalent to a UK 30E. That explains why the wires are too narrow on the sides. The extremely comfortable spacer foam cups adjust to one's shape, which explains why I don't quadboob, but the profile is flattened.

The center gore is too high and wide for my breasts, which have less than a pinky width between them and even less in a properly fitted plunge bra, which Simone Perele's Caressence Shaped Full Cup is not.

The color is called Peau Rose, and it is beautiful. It works as a nude for many people, including me, but is so much nicer than the grayish tan color so common in lingerie. The clear beige color has a delicate, pinkish undertone. I wish all nude-for-me bras were this color.

Shallow and wide cups. Straps set far apart. Very narrow gore (I like that). No immediate projection… the apex is near the top of the cup, and it’s almost flat until that point.

The band is very comfortable, snug yet not so tight as to cause grooves. The straps are stiff yet comfortable due to the wider lacy fabric over the shoulders. The cups are soft and roomy, however the underwires are a little narrow for my breast tissue and so there is some slight quad-boobing and some breast tissue escapes the wires under the arms. I am on the first hook, however it is very stretchy so it may give faster than other, stiffer bras like Cleo.

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.

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).

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

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 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.

Lightly padded, padding stretches with you. I have this in Ash Blue, a very pretty purply blue color. There is no line between the cup ending and your skin- good under tshirts.
