Simone Perele bras - Andora vs Caressence 3D?

Wondering for those who have, or have tried on, both of these models if there is a fit difference. I tried the Andora but it was over a year ago and I can't honestly remember fit details. I recently bought a Caressence and wonder if it's a bit fuller coverage than I remember the Andora being. In other words, if I'm kind of between sizes, I wonder if I should size up in the Andora and/or size down in the Caressence. Or are they exactly TTS from one model to the next? Thanks.
Any help would be appreciated.

The Caressence is MY BRA! I love it so much. It runs smaller to me actually because I am usually a 29D, but the 30D works in this style on the tightest hook. But that's about the band - not the cup. Not sure how to advise you there.

Have not tried the Andora. It is stunning! I want that bra too! I love to wear a pretty lace bra

Thanks Angie. I remember trying the Andora in 30D and seem to remember we were looking for DD (or E) but they didn't carry it. I got a 30E Caressence and it is just ever so slightly large in the upper cup :/ Maybe just wearing it around a bit will let it mold to me. I thought perhaps the Andora would fit better in 30E since it is a demi - no upper cup fit to worry about lol.

I wear and love the Caressence too, 30D on the smallest hook but I have a fuller bust so I need the full coverage. The Andora should be better for you because it is demi and would solve your problem, I'm jealous because I feel the Andora has more colors!

These 2 sound good! I think I will try them out next, I thought they looked good online. I'm 30D but after kids the girls aren't as full...maybe I should try the Andora?

At the risk of embarrassing myself and scaring some of you - here is my fit issue with the Caressence. Just a bit of extra room at the very top of the cup.
For reference, I'm about 28 underbust and 34 bust, wearing a 30E. I fall between sizes, though, because I have shallow breasts :/

I'm sure I'll be deleting these shortly!

My sister is a 30C and she has the same issue you do, she chose the Andora. Also, for the shallower top issue, she picked some Marie Jo Bras. You could try sizing down and pushing the girls up for distribution :).

I think I will try the Andora. I have the same problem with upper breast not being full.

Do they make the Pereles in a C, does anyone know? They're lovely! I seem to be a bit between sizes, too..the D MIGHT work on me....

Great colour, too, Mo!

Suz, there is a comment somewhere on the reviews page about French sizing being off by one (ie: the American C is a French D) not sure how valid it is, but you might be able to try a D and see if it works for you. I can assure you I am *never* a 30E or DD in other brands

Slightly off topic, how do you like that ash blue color? I was considering it but then I just like my bras in black and nude (boring right?)

I like it! Close enough to black without *being* black if that makes sense. I have lots of darker colors that it's great under. If you can believe it, I only got a black bra about a year ago, and it didn't fit quite right, so this is the replacement.

Thanks! I may get it because it's on sale but I was waiting for triple points :). It definitely is hard to find bras, my sister has a harder time because she's a 29C. One of my favorite bra shops in th US is called intimacy and I usually go there. Nordstrom carries some of the size but I find I want a larger selection to actually try on before I purchase.
Also some bras they do make in your size might not appear so because Nordstrom doesn't carry the full range.

ETA- always check the manufacturer website to see if they make it in your size before deciding that they don't have it
