I really like this bra but it is not the same fit as the Charlotte (as lots of people have claimed)at all! This bra has seamless moulded cups and no side support sling. As such it tends to be a bit east/west in appearance, I also found the cups run large, the 30FF (my standard size) was much too large as was the 30F, the 30E has almost the same exact sized cups as my 30FF Charlottes do. I quite like this bra, it is comfortable and looks nice under clothes similar to the Charlotte, if you like that bra this one might work for you too once you find the size that you need. I also like the pattern and the detail of the red bow between the cups, and I do not like animal prints in general.

The 30F in this bra is a bit small on my larger breast (which is why it became my test dye bra) but the quadding is not bad enough to make it unwearable. I still find it extremely wearable and comfortable. I dyed this Charlotte teal blue, it got a bit wrinkly during the process but still fits exactly the same. When dyeing these do not smoosh them, I have dyed two others sans smoosh and they look just like the undyed ones but in different colors.

This is such a pretty bra! They were out of my size so I got a 32F instead, and luckily it fits! I do have a bit of looseness in the top of the cups (mostly on the left side, which is smaller), but as I am full on the bottom I expected this. I can fix it by adding a small push up pad to the bottom of the cups. The band is a tad large, but is very stretchy so the fit is fine. This bra gives a very natural projected look, akin to vintage bras but not so uplifted. Rather like a teardrop shape but ... with support. The comfort level of this bra is tops, I get no poking, digging or riding up, it stays in place and stays comfortable all day. The lace is not at all itchy, but it does occasionally peek out of lower cut tops, luckily it's pretty! I did have to adjust the straps as they don't adjust short enough for me, but on these bras I've found you can loop the elastic of the strap over the band and then hook it, no sewing or pinning required! (And yes one of them is twisted in my back view picture!)

I altered this bra slightly to get a perfect fit, I took in the cups and straps by .5 inches and 2 inches respectively. The fit is now spot on, I can still adjust the straps if necessary, and now I don't get any gapping on my smaller side. I find this bra is still super comfortable as well as being attractive. I quite love Tutti Rouge bras! It's rather funny how little the alterations are visible in the photographs!

I love the Charlotte! Love! This is my best fitting bra so far I think, and while I generally prefer unlined bras the support and shape of this one has been just unbeatable. Plus it dyes really nicely. I love the Dusky Pink color of this bra, (I found the high waist panty runs large in this color though) it could almost pass for a neutral if it didn't have the black,of course then it wouldn't look so nice. I have found that the straps get a bit of fraying at the connection points after several wears though this does not affect the fit or sturdiness of the bra.

The cups of this fit better than the 30F, but they are still very east/west and shallow. On this bra I sewed the straps straight down to the cup without the angle I used on the 30F, this improved the lift but not the shape. The same thickness of boning is used here as well and again, will warp. The lace is lovely and the satin is the same Dusky Rose color used in the Parfait Charlotte, I am not however fond of the buttons. This bra is super visible beneath clothes, the lace, the shape, the buttons, it is not one to wear when going for a natrual look!The prettyness of this bra does overcome it's shortcomings for me.

So, so beautiful! I wish this bra fit, it is just stunning! Again this is a great bra, just too small in the cups (really just the larger one, on the small side the fit is great!), and I think a bit too shallow, but that might just be the smallness of the cups again. Gives a great forward shape, no east west breasts here. Very well made and beautiful with many interesting details, the band is stretchy but sturdy and feels very well made. It seems like it would be quite comfortable also, though I do get flesh in the underarm area. I think a higher wing would help but that is a personal preference and on someone with slightly smaller breasts this would probably not be an issue.

This bra is not owned any more

This is a very nice bra, but for me the fit is not right. The band is too big and rides up in the back, and I tend to spill out of the cups once this happens. Otherwise it is actually comfortable, I don't get any poking or digging along the wires. Again the straps don't adjust short enough for me, but her I had to tack them down to make them shorter. The cups are shallow, especially at the bottom, to create a lifted look, but in combination with the wide bridge the cleavage created looks more like spillage on me. I also found that the lace pilled up quickly, even though I only hand wash my bras, which was a disappointment.

First of all this bra is beautiful, thank you dagobra! The band fits very comfortably, and the whole thing is super soft. I will have to shorten the straps (a typical alteration for me) to get a perfect fit, and add a small pad to the left cup to correct my asymmetry. Otherwise this bra is perfect; the cups are just the right depth and the wire width and wing height are spot on for me. The tops of the cups show slightly beneath lightweight knit clothes, but that is not a big issue for me. In short this bra makes me much happier with the appearance of my breasts than I have been in quite a while.

This bra was excellent when I first purchased it, in fact I loved it so much that I bought four. The red and the teal have held up very well, however the beige both stretched out very quickly and had smaller cups to begin with(I ordered them online). One had a band that was 3/4" longer to begin with. The beige bras have always tended to give me a bit of quad boob, the red and teal do not. Additionally, after the beige bras stretched out some the horizontal seams on the cups have begun to dig in (because the seams did not stretch) and they now create ... an additional line across the upper breast, giving a sextuple boob effect. The beige bras also dig into my shoulders quite painfully, I had to adjust the sliders over the decorative strap piece in order to get them to the correct length for me on all of the bras, however the beige are the only ones which are uncomfortable on my shoulders. I have only had the beige ones for three months and I rotate bras so that no one bra gets worn more than two times a week. I do not think that they should have stretched out so quickly, especially since the red and teal ones which I have had for over a year are still perfect.
The red and teal I rate as excellent quality, comfort and appearance, the beige as wearable quality, meh comfort and excellent appearance.
