My Stats: Tall, moderately narrow roots, low set. Vertical and horizontal parameter measurements are very similar. Functionally FOT due to tall roots. Firm, and self-supporting. Centre-full with little outer volume.

Band: Fits closer to a 28 band, a tight and firm band with a comfortable width

Wires: Aggressive! Thickest, stiffest wires I have ever felt. These things are industrial strength. I like the shape of them, which is a UU shape, but I found the gore very painful instantly. They seem narrow and tall, but I haven't measured them yet.

Cups: Good depth with immediate projection. Four-piece construction with ... three vertical pieces making a nice round "bowl" shape, and one horizontal top piece. I found the top of the cups expects a lot more volume than I have, and the top lace has a bit of space/gapping.

Straps: Good location for my shoulder width, fully adjustable.

Fabric: Soft and comfortable but no stretch in the cups. The embroidery pattern on the outside of the cups is really pretty.

Fit: Fits me well in cup depth, but the cup either needs to be shorter or darted at the top because I have some extra fabric there where my breast volume ends before the cup does.

Overall Impression: The only way I can wear this bra is if I take it to the tool bench and bend the wires, which I will probably need a vice and pliers to do. The gore was very painful due to the stiffness and thickness of the cables - sorry, I mean wires. I think the cups are also a bit too tall for me, I have low set and tall roots but the shape is not a good match for me along the top. I can't return this bra and I do like it appearance-wise, so I think I'll try to bend the wires and take in the extra fabric on the top to hopefully make it work for me.

The sizing of the bra is wrong for me, so it is hard to evaluate the fit. First is is a good quality bra. The fabrics are soft and luxurious, the details of the straps are beautiful. The desing and fabrics are similar to Fantasie Alex Side Support Bra (9152)
The size is weird, the band only streches to 29 inches! It is the smallest of all 30 bands I have tried. And the band is not very strechy.
The cups are big, probably 2 cups bigger than panache/fantasie bras. They offer full coverage. Overall the Charnos Sienna fits like a Panache Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675) in size 28J
The wires are very long and hard, which might be an interesting feature for tall women who have pendoulous breast.

I don't think this bra would not suit small women
