Frequently Asked Questions About the Simone Pérèle Caresse
What is the Simone Pérèle Caresse bra?
The Caresse is Simone Pérèle's iconic 3D spacer T-shirt bra — a seamless, moulded plunge bra made from a three-dimensional knitted spacer fabric that is breathable, lightweight, and completely smooth under clothing. It has been one of our bestselling styles at Caroline Randell for years, and one we would never be without. Available from B to G cup in the classic 316 plunge shape.
What is 3D spacer technology?
3D spacer is a revolutionary knitted fabric construction used by Simone Pérèle in the Caresse and Andora bras. Unlike traditional foam moulded cups, the spacer fabric is three-dimensional — it has depth and structure but is also breathable, allowing air to circulate through the cup. The result is a bra that is smooth and seamless on the outside, but far more comfortable and cool to wear than a standard T-shirt bra — particularly in warmer weather.
Is the Caresse bra good under T-shirts?
It is possibly the best T-shirt bra we stock. The 3D spacer cups are completely seamless with no texture, no stitching lines, and no lace visible through fabric — just a clean, rounded cup shape that disappears under even the most fitted tops. The plunge shape gives a beautiful silhouette without being too low for everyday wear. If you have ever struggled to find a bra that is truly invisible under a white T-shirt, the Caresse is it.
What size should I order in the Simone Pérèle Caresse?
The Caresse runs slightly generous in the cup — if you are between sizes or on the fuller side of your cup, we recommend going down a cup. For example, if you are a full D cup, try the C first. We stock the Caresse from B to G cup. If you are ordering for the first time and unsure, please get in touch before ordering and we will advise you based on your measurements and usual bra size.
What colours does the Simone Pérèle Caresse come in?
We stock the Caresse in black, Peau Rose — a warm, flattering skin tone that works beautifully under light and white clothing — and a seasonal colour that changes each year. The Peau Rose in particular is one of our most consistently popular shades as it is genuinely versatile under almost any fabric. If you are unsure which colour to choose, please get in touch and we will advise based on what you plan to wear it under.
What is the difference between the Simone Pérèle Caresse and Andora?
Both the Caresse and the Andora use Simone Pérèle's 3D spacer technology — but they have different cup shapes. The Caresse is a plunge shape, with a lower centre front that works well under V-necks and lower necklines. The Andora is a half-cup shape with a slightly higher centre and more of a rounded, full-coverage look. Both are exceptional T-shirt bras — the choice between them comes down to the necklines you wear most and your personal preference for cup shape. Get in touch and we will help you decide.
