Parfait Charlotte Half-Cup Underwire Bra. (The name of the bra in the title got changed, not by me. The invoice and bra tag both confirm that the bra I got is the half-cup version. This is the one that has a bandeau-ish look to it.)

First off, this is such a good looking bra! I absolutely love the way it looks and wish oh-so-desperately that I could keep it! Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. I heard that this line ran off in both cup and band, so I figured that a 30 band would work for me (I'm normally a 28 band and could probably fit in a 26), which it did. No problem there. The cup size, however, was more off than I'd heard. The reviews I read said that it ran one cup size small, so I felt confidant ordering a 30G since I'm normally a 28G and a 30G would be the equivalent of a 28GG. Nope. I still need at least another cup size up, possibly two. Because this line only goes up to G cups, I'm just out of luck with this bra. I wish Affinitas would expand their size range, because I would probably buy two or three of these (told you I loved it). Oh well.

I have very wide-set, shallow, full-on-bottom breasts and the width of the wires one the sides was fine for me. I think that with a larger cup, this would have worked well for my shape, so if you have a similar shape and slightly smaller breasts (less than a GG cup), you might consider giving this a try. I've read a few reviews of other Affinitas bras that mentioned quality issues, but the bra I got seemed quite well made, with good materials. Also, even though the cup size was quite off, the bra was still very comfortable.

This bra is not owned any more
