AW2011- AW2015 version - This is the plunge version. See 6931 for half cup balconette. More...
Official websiteHmmm... Not sure about this bra. Cups are deeper than in old style, still the gore won't tack. Not sure if it's the size but the shape mostly. Besides the fitting issues it's a wonderful bra. I kept it yet i avoid wearing it under knitwear as my breasts look enormous.

This review is for the floral shimmer colorway. It is narrow and projected and if it weren't for the bra tipping outward due to my close-set, center-full breast shape I would have probably kept it.

This bra is just beautiful!
For once the wires were not poking the side of my boobs, this time the pain comes from the centre gore which is way to high for me, digging in the sternum.
I might try to shorten it (if I have time and patience).
Other point I have noticed is that it makes a nice round shape under clothing, but pointy on the right side... a bit odd.. I'll be investigating..
I will try to review a bit longer once I know a bit more.

I love this bra! for some reason, all of Parfait's bras that I've tried work really well with my breast shape, and this one is no exception. While it didn't really work as a "push-up" in my case, it did provide excellent support and comfort.

This bra fits like a 34 band. I felt the band was too loose. I also got the quad boob effect. This is not for my shape. I am FOB. I wish it fit though, its a gorgeous bra. It felt comfortable.
Floral Shimmer colorway

This is a very pretty bra, and for sure this colorway works better for me than the last Parfait I tried.
I didn't really expect the cups to work, because... ha... but this was the only size even close to mine with Prime shipping / free returns, so I figured it would be a good one to assess general fit. The band is okay, but on the tightest hooks it... also feels okay, so I might want a 30 in this particular bra. The cup causes quadding, which is expected since I am usually a 32FF to start with. The narrowness of the wires felt pretty good.
I noticed that the straps are too far apart on this bra. I usually don't, even though I have a tendency to push my straps further in -- it's there, but it doesn't often _bother_ me, if that makes sense.
I love this colorway. In the right size, I think it would make a pretty good t-shirt bra!

Nice projected, rounded shape. Straps were too wide for me. Cut into the front of my armpits. Lots of lines so wouldn't be good under a t-shirt or thin shirt.

The Parfait Charlotte in floral shimmer seems to be entirely different to the original - I own the Icy Blue in a 28H and Floral Shimmer in a 30GG, so should be very similar in cup shape and volume, but they are very different. I don't get the digging in at the top of the cup that I get in the old version and it's more uplifted shape. The cup sizes do seem to be quite a bit bigger in the new update, especially in smaller sizes.
You can see more in the review on our blog which also compares the same bra in a 30D.

I'm so glad you inputted the measurements for this bra here! It would be really awesome if you and Charley continued to input all the data for your guy's bras (even the not fitting ones!)! Support the community!
Wires are too narrow for me. Depth would be okay if the wires were wider. I think because the wires were too narrow, the bottom of the bra ended up being too shallow for me. Unfortunately this wouldn't work for me in a bigger size, the wires would be wide enough, but there would be too much depth.

I really thought this bra was gonna work for me, but there was a slight shape mismatch that I just couldn't get over even though the fit issues are so easily camouflaged by the stiff foam of the cups. I agree with the other reviewers who've said that this bra runs projected-ish in this size range -- this worked out great for me in that Charlotte has the immediate projection that I'm always looking for, but it's too projected at the apex and wants more inner fullness than I have. I was getting some empty space in the cups (not visibly though, the cups still manage to lie flush with my chest) and decided that the awesome shape and lift I get from this bra aren't worth it for a mediocre technical fit. It was incredibly supportive though and has a nice vintage pin-up vibe going on if that's your style. The band is nice and snug and I'd say the cups run a little large in comparison to other 28Ds, but still TTS.
