This bra. It says 40 but measures to 38 and even then it starts distorting the cups. I can put it on as I'm about a 39" under bust now but it's snug. I had to do some fancy wiggling to get it on. I know it's distorting the cups too as the cups are wider than they should be and also it pushes my breast tissue to the sides but somehow creates a cleavage too. The gore won't tack but I'm sure if the band fit better it'd be way closer. The bra itself? Gorgeous gorgeous deep teal blue color. Online it looks way lighter but in person, it's a deep teal leaning blue that's beautiful. The longline (why they call it bralette I don't know?) has boning in the front and on the sides. I can appreciate that for helping the band to stay in one place but with my pear shape, once I sit down it still wants to roll upward in the front. The back isn't so bad though. I'm keeping it because I bought it through a Zulily event and if I lose a couple more pounds the band should be better and the cups will fit better too.
The bra itself though is gorgeous and I wish Parfait would extend their sizing! I'm in the largest for this particular bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
It is beautiful - i wish there was a pic of the back - how many clasps? can you try an extender or not?

dbmamaz Thanks! There is a pic of the back over on the full page of photos... http://bra.pe/XUP4/
There are 6 hooks so I guess I could wear 2 extenders! I think I'll try it! I kind of thought no on extenders but given extenders typically are 3 hooks I could always do 2 :)

Gorgeous color on you . Lots of extenders in many different sizes on ebay . Here is an example of a 6 hook one http://www.ebay.com/itm/302016503614. Just remember to measure your bra to make sure they do fit together ..I forgot once . If not for extenders and altering I would have few bras so they are my secret weapon ;) . Love thr long line look wish I could find one close to my size to try.
