This is a lovely bra. I am technically between sizes right now -- closest to a universal 38[D4] -- but I bought two bras from different brands and this one fit just right. It keeps the bosoms front and center where they should be, and also does a bit of minimizing. It is comfortable and attractive, although the underwire does ride up a bit into the armpits.

This bra feels great! It is a snug 32 but I like my bars to fit snug. I would say the band runs one size smaller than most 32's so you may want to consider sizing up one size in the band if you don't like a tighter band. The girls are lifted up right where they should be and held firm. I like the wider band across my shoulders and back, and the 3 hook closure. It is also a very beautiful bra. I will order this bra again. Kathy from Tennessee

Very pretty bra but didn't provide the support I would like for an everyday bra. A decent bra for special occasions. Dawn from US

This is a lovely bra, and as far as I can tell, the only nonpadded one from Parfait by Affinitas at the moment. Its wide wires give a lovely, uplifted shape. The embroidered lace part at the top is a little loose, but not, I believe, a full cup size too loose. I'm going to alter the bra so it tucks some of the mesh part down, This will make the neckline of the bra lower as well, which is another plus. I have enough full cup bras, and the coverage of this bra is on the full side for a balconette. The color is a saturated, clear purple, almost a jewel tone. It's a relief that the wires fully encase my side tissue. My boobs have a wide root, and it's discouraging to buy bra after bra that causes bulges under my arms. It makes it hard to wear sleeveless tops. I'd buy more Parfait by Affinitas bras if I could find unpadded, unmolded ones. Now I guess I'm back to buying Panaches.

Band is true to size. Very comfortable, creates a nice shape. While I am a 40D, the 40DD fit better in the coverage. Also a larger cup size in this bra helped to tuck in the breast tissue better. I'm short waisted and I worried about going up a cup size for fear the side wire would poke me in the arm pit, but it doesn't. Yay. n from il

The 38 DD will fit a 40D just fine without underwire poking short-waisted girls under their arm pits. Coverage is just right. Great comfort and shaping too. Holds in the breast tissue pretty well too. How nice to not have to spend a fortune on a really good - AND PRETTY bra. Thank you Affinitas. V from USA

This bra is EXCEPTIONAL overall - great shape/coverage/support, great comfort, light-weight! 5 stars. But, you might want to go up a cup size - especially if you have ample breast tissue - and also up a band size. v

The seam in the bra's cup makes an indentation in the bust; which shows through clothing. Sheila from Antioch CA/USA

I'm giving the bra three stars for beauty alone since I'm not going to be able to keep it. Unfortunately, it's much smaller around than any 40D bra has ever been. I measure just a tiny bit above 38 and when a friend told me this bra ran smaller around I decided to order a 40. Well, it's way off so beware of that when you buy it...especially if you don't like a super snug band.

The size was a bit small on me but I always struggle with bra sizes. I'm somewhere between a G and H so neither fit perfect. Other then that super sexy and comfy! Birdie

I'm wearing this bra right now. First of all, it's very pretty and has nice coverage and support. My reasons for giving less than a perfect 5-stars are that 1 - the band is tighter than other 30DD's I own. I wonder if the 32D would have been better in this bra. And 2 - the shape of my breasts (as seen under clothing) isn't quite as rounded as I like. They're ever so slightly pointed - enough that I would prefer to wear it under a heavier garment, not a simple T-shirt. Candice from Los Angeles, CA, USA
