Did not fill out top of cup at all! I tried a size cup down and it still didn't fit shape well.

Assessment and Plan:
* Also tried in 32E & 34DD. (Fabric and piping just so pretty that I really wanted this to work.)
* Cups too shallow. Try different styles.

I got two additional 34G Charlotte half cup bras- the Wild Pink (bubblegum color) and Dusty Pink (pale pink). Wild Pink fits the same way as the blue one, with 3 hooks and shallow uplifting cups.
The Dusty Pink (this bra) only has two hooks and the cups are deep and projected, totally different fit. I would probably fit better in a 34FF or even a 34F in this version. This is so frustrating! I wish Parfait would make it more clear when they are changing the fit/number of hooks for a particular bra.Dusty Pink colorway

A very attractive and super comfortable bra. Aside from being too small, the only thing I could possibly nitpick would be the straps could be a little narrower to fit me perfectly.

tight bra band, but I think it will just take some time to break in.
beautiful bra but unfortunately the cups just too big for mehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I never ended up wearing this because it's stiff and not comfortable. It looked fabulous at the store, but maybe I should have gone up a band size? It has great lift, it's pretty - has that burlesque-ish aesthetic going for it what with the red satin. Alas.

The gore is too wide, and the bra is almost cut like a plunge, so it quads up pretty significantly. The 4 hooks also makes it hard to fasten. That said, it's a really comfortable bra, and I'll probably wear it on smaller days.

I really wanted to like this bra, and tried it in 2 sizes, 36H and 36HH. The 36HH was pretty horrible. This bra scales to the larger sizes poorly. It goes really high in the armpit, especially in the 36HH. I also had tons of gaping at the top of the cups, which as a full on top gal, isn't common for me. It was also way too wide a cup in both sizes and I do not have narrow roots. The padding is also kind of weird, it's thicker and stiffer than other padded bras I've used, and it was really obvious where the cups ended. Also, the bow is really big, so if I kept it I would trim it as it will show under more fitted clothing. On the plus side, it's comfortable but I'd like some retooling to make it better for those of us with larger busts.

I normally wear a 34HH, but this size 36HH fits my breast size the best. The band is a bit loose, but if I put it on the tightest setting it works.
So maybe go up a cup sizeUpdated on Jul 24, 2018 Flag this
Thanks for the post. I was looking at this brand and wondering if I should try it. I like Elomi and I have a couple of Panache that I look good in but I hate either looking too East/West or too broad across. I notice the broader across the bra the heavier I look. I think I’m about your size. It does give a nice silhouette.
