Note: I'm only reviewing the bra with the J-hook fastened as a racerback (not with the separate straps) because that's how I wear all my bras

I bought this bra along with the Charley and Mitzi (Elomi). From these three, I consider the Charley a good fit for me, so I'm basing this review on it. The Carmen's band is the same size and fits the same: it's a bit tight, but not extremely uncomfortable. I'm waiting for it to stretch a bit. The cup fit is also similar. I have very slightly assymetrical breasts (only noticeable when wearing unlined bras), and you can tell with the Carmen. The elastic on the top of the band dug a bit onto my left breast, while on the right breast it wrinkled because I didn't fully fill it. This doesn't happen with some similar bras (Elomi Charley, Sculptresse Roxie), but also happened with the Elomi Mitzi. This issue I could let pass, but the main thing that made me return it was the way the outer cup on the sides shaped by breasts. It just didn't look as natural as other bras. Overall, it was a nice bra, wasn't uncomfortable, and looked good, just not on me.
