PrimaDonnaDeauville Side Support Bra 34I, Cafe Latte

I should start out saying, I have been looking at this bra for several years on Herroom.com and they said this is a deep cup. So I went to Prima Donna's site and found they had a fitting section where you put in your current bra and size, then they tell you what your Prima Donna bra size would be. I wear a 32F UK, 32G US, and a 32F Prima Donna. I chose to purchase from Amazon over another company for a few reasons, time for shipping, ease of returns should it not fit or be comfortable.My husband bought me the Deauville upon my request for Valentine's day in Winter Grey. I loved it so much, a week or so later, I bought the Black.Winter Grey: I fell in love with the fit and feel, the only thing I did not like was that the straps sat on the edge of my shoulders and over time (towards the end of the day) irritated them. I solved this problem, which I have in almost every bra, by buying a bra strap holder to pulled the straps in by an inch or so. The padding around the under wire made it feel as if I wasn't wearing an under wired bra at all. The bottom band, which is where I usually have issues, started out tight, but soon relaxed to where the whole side was working as one. Most bras, the bottom band digs in and holds all the pressure of my breasts making it hurt within hours. If I go up a band size, in those bras, my shoulders end up holding most of the weight. This was a beautiful balance of hold throughout the band and back, to where the straps weren't really needed till the end of the day. The cups moved with my breasts, never gapping as I moved, shifted or reached for things. As a petite, I often have issues with the under wire being to tall on the sides, I was pleasantly surprised this one stopped at just the right height without leaving side of breasts falling out. This is also the only bra I've had in the last several years that didn't cut into my armpit for the straps to hold, the elastic there also helped to make a form fit without it being tight.Black: I was so very excited to receive another bra that would finally be comfortable, to great disappointment. The band was over an inch smaller than the Winter Grey that I had only worn a few times. It was very tight and did not have the stretch in band or back the other did, making it put pressure on my ribcage uncomfortably. The straps although not rough weren't as soft and comfortable as my first. The under wire was all bent out of shape, I can only assume this was from mailing it, and I couldn't get it straightened out enough for a comfortable fit. Which this problem may lead to why the cup gapped as I moved, shifted and reached, but I don't personally think so. I think the elastic at the top of the cup was not right because the fit was much different from the Winter Grey.Overall, I can't tell you if one was a knock off or if both were genuine Prima Donna bras, but the Winter Grey had a nice fabric tag on the bra and the Blacks tag was probably polyester, which rubbed, itched and irritated my back. The same can be said about the tags marking the bras, the Winter Grey came with card, the Black a sewn on tag. I was told that Prima Donna bras have an embroidery logo on their bras, the Black had one, the Winter Grey did not. I love and am keeping the Winter Grey, while the Black is going back.

I have purchased every brand of bra imaginable in my 75+ years and was never really happy with the way they fit. I've tried padded contours, natural cups and under-wire bras, which is my preferred style. This past summer a neighbor recommended the Prima Donna Brand and warned me that it was going to be expensive but with proper care, they would last a long long time (proper care being hand-washing with a mild detergent and line drying). She says she's been wearing the same 4 Prima Donna Bras for more than 3 years. I purchased 2 of the Prima Donna Deauville Full Cup Underwire Bras and have been very satisfied with the fit, design and quality. It took a little getting used to the European sizing chart but the fit is perfect. One of the ways I learned to keep the bras lasting a long time is to alternate bras daily, airing them out between wearings and also to never spray perfume or cologne directly on the bra fabric because it weakens it, especially the lace and elastic. I recommend them especially to those who have had less than happy results with their current bras.

I am 5’ 5.5” and 155 lbs and I bought a 32G. Full disclosure, I’m picky with my bras because I’m fed up with being uncomfortable.The cups wouldn’t sit flush with my breasts, there was extra material bunching up. I’m VERY certain I have the correct size.There’s some kind of lace-like detail around the arm holes that looks like it would develop into discomfort (I didn’t wear it longer than five minutes to find out for certain) and the straps also had a material that wouldn’t be comfortable all day long.I was HIGHLY unimpressed with the perceived quality of this bra, considering I paid over $100 for it. It felt chintzy and flimsy.Worst of all was the shape your breasts get pushed into: retro squashed cone. Not cute, not attractive. Buy a Natori t-shirt or Wacoal awareness bra if you’re looking for a larger breast size bra.

I have had this bra for 40 days and the underwire has already broken through. I paid over $100 for this bra and would have hoped that it would last longer than that. I also do not wear it everyday. I am very disappointed

The quality of this was inferior to ones purchased over 10 years ago, so I don't know when the quality dropped. Still very very expensive but now looks and feels cheap. The lace is especially flimsy compared to the older version. This one also did not fit although it is the same size as my existing bras.

I normally wear the Prima Donna Madison Full Cup Unlined Bra and wanted to try another style. This one just isn't the same. First, it costs more. I'd really stick with the Madison. Both have the same elastic on the bottom of the band which can dig and be very painful. I'd recommend trying the Prima Donna Twist line which contains several other styles. They are hard to find but it can be done.

Gorgeous, sexy bra stays comfortable all day and makes me feel beautiful. I wear a 40F and this bra shapes and supports like nobody's business. I never get back fat from this bra, and the wire lays flat--no poking. This is the fourth Prima Donna bra I've bought. They're expensive but absolutely worth it. I wash them by hand and after six months they're all still in great condition. I'll never buy another Soma, Bali, or Olga bra again.

I have tried many high end bras seraching for one that would appropriately hold my middle aged c/d cups that have been through 4.5 years of breastfeeding, but also be almost as comfortable as the nursing bras I'm used to, and not give me a ton of back fat. This is the first one that has done that. The shape can be a bit on the pointy side, but for the other benefits, it is worth it.

I have to admit, this bra, actually fits better and it's more true to size than the ones I've tried in store. I was sceptical at first to order a bra on line but the review convinced me and so I ordered two (white and black) and I don't regret I did. The only thing I found different with the bra, once it arrived, was that the strap was not as it shows int he picture. The flowery design it's placed right between the boundaries of the strap and does not show the edge outside of it. But, due to the rest of it being so perfect, I over looked that fact. I will order this bra again and I'd encourage other women to do it (specially women looking for good support in a bra). After searching for a good bra for sometimes, I am hoping I found what I was looking for.

I've worn these bras for over a decade and they are the only brand I buy. They appear expensive but they fit like a dream and wear well every day. I have several now, and usually buy one or two each year (Christmas and birthday etc) so I can ditch the older ones, which incidentally if hand washed and properly looked after will last a good couple of years. I wear mine every day - they should not be kept for best and once you own and wear one, you will not go back to cheaper brands!! Best get properly fitted at a boutique lingerie shop who stock Prima Donna for your first purchase then you can buy online.

2nd bra I bought again but from this seller and it was DEFINITELY a knock off! It was cheap scratchy material and awful sewing and fit....l have learnt a harsh lesson to only buy Prima Donna Bras from HERROOM / BLOSSOM LINGERIE./ CHELSEA LANE BODYWEAR.

I've had this bra before so knew what to expect. The fit is wonderful and the bra does a good job of uplifting and comfortably supporting a large bust. Prima Donna is the 'Rolls Royce' make of bra - expensive but worth it! I would recommend it to anyone.

Product got delivered to the wrong address and only arrived at my house by chance 1 week later. Bra feels very soft and comfortable, cannot be sure it’s 100% genuine but it’s good value for the price considering these are over £100 elsewhere.
