Rarely do I give feedback, but this one is worth the effort. It arrived in a timely fashion and had no problems with damage. But most importantly it fits perfectly, with accurate sizing that makes it comfortable to wear. It was so good, I logged back on... Show more

Comfortable and supportive!
I normally prefer molded cup bras because I want to feel very secure and well-lifted, but decided to try this out. Surprisingly, this had excellent support, and was very comfortable to wear. My other issue (because I am short) is that I often find bras to come up uncomfortably high into my armpit area, which I hate. This bra did not do that for me. I normally wear a 32FF in most Freya bras (my normal go-to brand), and in this style, the 32 G worked best for me. Going back for more colors...... Show more

It does what it says it's supposed to do!
I feel very supported with my 34F. I probably could have gone down a size, but it's perfect for just before and during my period. I feel and look smaller, so it's doing what it says it's supposed to do! The only qualm I have it comfort. The fabric to me is bit rough and itchy, however, I find this to be the case with most minimizers and bras in generals that are made to hold in some serious bust! Being that it's a UK size, I can't really comment on it running true to size. I was professionally fitted about 7 months ago and loved the process of trying on a bunch of different bras and finally learning my true size... Show more

Love this bra, but they seem to be super fragile.
Let me start by saying I absolutely love this bra. HOWEVER, I purchased 2 of them in June and the underwire already popped out of both of them. I take incredibly good care of my bras (wash every few weeks, in a lingerie bag, in cold water, and hang dry). When it happened the first time, I thought that perhaps it was just one defective bra. But now that it's happened to 3/3 bras, it seems that unfortunately this is just a poor quality bra.... Show more

Parfait Minimizer
I wanted to make sure I reviewed this bra because, since I gained weight, I can not wear regular bras anymore and I am limited to minimizers. The only department store that I could find them in was Macy’s and the brands were very limited and pulled out so you saw a huge buckle between my breasts, which was accented if I wore a longer necklace! I was so disappointed! I had to return all 4 bras that I bought. Then, I started ordering online from Wacoal. I have tried 3 different styles with them and all were disappointing, as the material was so uncomfortable and I cried because each one was worse in terms of the underwire poking into my breasts or armpits. I absolutely hated putting on the bra. Finally, I decided to give Brayola a try. I received the Parfait bra today ...

I absolutely hated putting on the bra. Finally, I decided to give Brayola a try. I received the Parfait bra today and immediately put it on. First thing I noticed was how comfortable and different the fabric is from those Wacoal bras I have. And even better was that the underwire does not poke or bruise my breasts. This is by far the most comfortable bra I’ve worn in 10 years, since I sized out of Victoria’s Secret bras!!! I’m thrilled that I found this bra! The only complaint I have are the 3 seams on the cup. If you wear a tight top, you can see their outline through your shirt. Please please please make this bra without those cup seams and it would be just perfect!!!!... Show more

So comfy!
I've had some size changes recently and hadn't been able to wear this one, so when I was ready to place a new order in my new size I knew I had to grab it again. It's just as great as I remembered! Being a bit between band sizes, I used an expander for about 4 wears until I was able to easily go without. Everything about this one is soft but structured at the same time.... Show more

so disappointed
I was so excited to get a new bra! I love shopping Brayola, ordering is easy, shipping is fast and always dependable. But! feeling the weight of this bra was the first red flag. It is sooooo THIN you can see through it, and the fabric that is against your skin is almost like tulle and VERY rough, and scratchy.The seams are thick and bizarrely raised. I have recently been refitted and have ordered other bras in this size, so I want to say that this bra runs small, but I think it just might be a poor design all the way around. The underwire rubbed and pinched under my arms, and the back closure scratched and rubbed so much I was distracted to the point I left work to change it after 3 hours!! It did minimize as promised but ooohhh wow so not worth the suffering. I ... MoreI was so excited to get a new bra! I love shopping Brayola, ordering is easy, shipping is fast and always dependable.

I literally wore it for 3 hours so I can't speak to the durability, I cant imagine it would hold up considering the cheap feel of the fabric. I am so surprised at the other reviews , I am surprised anybody would find this comfortable... Show more

Super comfy and shapes well
This by far is my new go to bra. Super comfy and gives a great shape. One who always struggles to find a good bra for my bigger front. Wanted something that not just minimuzed but shaped and lifted and this bra did all that.... Show more

Underwire poked through after a week
I thought I had found the perfect bra. For like a dream. Was super comfortable, but after a week of wearing it, the underwire poked right through under my armpit. All of the sudden it was sharp pain. Took the bra off and sure enough, the wire had busted through. For such an expensive bra, I can’t believe it was so poorly made. And Bare Necessities only lets you return unworn items with tags on. How are you supposed to know if a bra works unless you’ve worn it for a few days? Disappointed with this bra and the company selling it.... Show more

Wires poke thru
I purchased this bra in black and pink and had wires poke thru on both, rather quickly. This eventually happens after time but not this quick. I then got a slightly larger size and that did not resolve the problem. Fit was nice but very disappointed in the quality... Show more
