About me: Tall roots, low set, centre-full, projected but self-supporting, even vertical fullness, average-to-narrow roots but functionally narrow, somewhat close set, firm tissue. Average width shoulders but muscular-ish.
Overview: I love the Parfait Charlotte. I have four of them now, in three sizes. This size is my best fit though. I like how really sturdy this bra feels. On me, this bra is basically a really pretty sports bra in terms of how much support and security it gives. My boobs don't bounce in this bra, the straps don't slip. The straps are wide, the band is wide. The ... band is tight, the cups are stiff. These are all good things in my book. I can shovel the snow off my driveway in it, go for a hike in it, it doesn't budge. This is a great utility bra. It's also pretty warm, which means I probably won't be wearing it in the summer, but this is an asset the rest of the year.
Details: The only thing wrong I can nitpick about the fit of this bra on me is that it's a bit on the shallow side so I do get a small amount of quadding. I kind of like the compression/minimizing effect though, which I usually don't like, but in this bra it feels more like a firm hug than the unpleasant suffocating feeling that usually makes me hate any kind of compression.

I tried this bra and got similar issues...pokey underwire under the armpits and a gore that liked to float. The wires on this bra are wide. I really love the look of the bra but wish they had executed the design better.
