AW2011- AW2015 version - This is the plunge version. See 6931 for half cup balconette. More...
Official websiteThe bra is super well made and uses high quality fabrics. Comfy and supportive, especially in the band. Just so soft and awesome. Much cuter on the body and has a cute vintage look. Unfortunately, I SIZED UP A CUP and it still cut into my breast tissue. Granted, I'm FOT, but it was just astounding after a good swoop and scoop. Lol. Beware if you're fuller on top and maybe even size up 2 cup sizes instead of 1.

This bra is so pretty - the retro look of it is amazing! The construction and everything is beautiful. However, the gore is extremely uncomfortable. I thought it might be because of how high it is, but I have Comexim bras with a similar gore height and they fit perfectly. The Charlotte's gore has more separation than my Comexims. And the Charlotte's gore angles inward toward my body - so the top the gore seems to dig in. It's unfortunate because this is such a beautiful bra. I've only worn this bra for 5 hours and it felt unbearable. I don't want to, but I think I need to sell or exchange this bra. It's stunning, but I know I'm never going to wear it.

Good looking bra, though the wires dig in at the gore and squeak like crazy. Bending the wires might help with comfort.

This bra feels amazing, unfortunately the cup size is a bit small on my so I may try a bigger size. It gives me amazing cleavage and feels great otherwise. The black piping on the gore is not straight and that bothers me.

I was really sad that this bra didn't fit! The style is adorably retro and all of the materials are very high quality and look elegant. The cups have thicker padding than most bras. The cups on this are very wide and don't allow for immediate projection. I found that the gore dug in and was incredibly painful. This would be fine on someone who's breasts are further apart. The band was the high point for me. With my 25inch underbust this is the first bra to feel snug on my ribcage. If you are a true 26 this is a great bra to try. If you measure around 28 or 29 I would size up to a 30 band. I wish this bra had narrower wires and more projection! I'm so sad to get rid of it.
Charlotte is a beauty. I wanted this bra to fit so badly, because it's gorgeousl

Really cute but too shallow for me.

Probably need a 32H on this. The cups came back towards my body at the top, which caused quadboob. Not open like CK Thrill Me, Ritzy, and Tease. The gore was super wide, especially for my close set boobs. The fabric was soft and comfortable, and the straps were nice and wide. The band is too big, but with the firmest wires I've ever felt, I don't think I could go down a band size. Even while it rides up, the wires are hurting me, digging in the whole way around.

I read that this was small in the band and cups the cups were large probably true to size for 30f but i needed a 30e. The band was more like a loose 28 than a 30. This is the purple wine colorway. I am ordering the half cup to see if I have better luck .

Well, this was a hot mess of a fit. Way too much projection, which means that the top of the cup cuts into my breasts. It gave me a super weird shape, like hands cupping breasts so that the top is horizontal.
I really like the band! It's true to size- it stretched to 28.5 inches, and it was quite firm. It felt really good. Breathing wasn't a problem. But ugh, those cups.
The design is also rather strange. The sides are silk, the main cup is cotton. The silk is shiny, the cotton is dull and kind of wrinkly (though that may be due to packaging). The silk lays on top of the cup and actually forms kind of a side pocket. It looks kind of odd.
The straps were a bit on the wide side, like a balconette, but I kind of expected that. Eh. Cup width was pretty good. The gore was ok- a bit higher than I'm used to (but then, I'm used to plunges), but it wasn't uncomfortable once it was in place.
