    28DD

    Used to fit

    Yes, a bra that fits! I normally wear a size 28F but sized down two cups to 28DD as PetiteCollegiate recommends her review. The band is exceptionally tight for a 28, which is excellent for me since I have a 24-25" UB. I can comfortably wear it on the middle hooks.

    The cups are very closed at the top - at the black rim, they are nearly curving back in a 90 degrees. I have super short roots and not much upper fullness so this works well for me. It's one of the few bras that don't gape at the top even if I move ... my arms. The cups fit my narrow roots which end about an inch in front of my arms. The sides are cut low and forward so they don't dig into my armpits.

    The apex of this cup is quite high, which makes it a pushup bra without the extra padding. This isn't my breast shape, but it isn't uncomfortable either. The only gripe I have with this bra is the gore, which is a bit too wide for me. But there is basically no space between my boobs and I always have a hard time with any gore that isn't a extremely low.

    34HH

    Didn't fit

    This is another really good looking bra, but just does not fit me right. The cups are both too wide and too shallow for me, and the stays on the sides of the bra poke at me. I've tried two different extremes with this Charlotte bra, but it is just not the right shape for my breasts which need a good amount of immediate projection. I'm sad, I love how it looks! If this type of fit works for you I highly recommend this bra! It is well made and oh so good looking!!!

    30F

    Fits

    This review is for the new Floral pattern. This bra's construction is very wonderfully sturdy. In my test wear I found it to be surprisingly comfortable, the strap was just starting to rub a little after a few hours, but I think it would be very comfortable to wear all day. The band is very firm but runs a little large to counteract this--it fits me perfectly at a 31" ribcage with squish. The cups are very nicely deep, I found them to run a cup size large and sizing 1 cup down fit me perfectly. The wires aren't too hard and didn't bother me. I tried it ... on under clothing and it looked smooth, pattern showed thru a little bit. It is somewhat closed on top which is great for me--there was a slight gape on my smaller side but only when I sit down. I found this bra to add some volume to my bust which I like. It does make a slight noise of foam being rubbed together if the cup is pushed on. I found the shape very pleasant; it's quite rounded. Overall this is a great bra and will definitely be a part of my regular rotation.

      Thanks for this review. I wish the new colorway were listed separately on here as it seems really different in measurements to the old ones. I think I might need a 28G or 30FF if I were to try it. When you say it looked smooth under clothes, do the seams show through?

    • They don't show under my loose shirt. Under a tight shirt they probably would.

    • Ok, thanks!

    32E

    Didn't fit

    Second try at this bra. The Floral Shimmer pattern has been made deeper than previous models, mostly at the apex. The cup has not been made and shorter, but it has been made narrower. It now runs about a cup size large--I am typically 32F and the 32F was way too large in the cups, this 32E fits me perfectly in the cups but the band is way too large at 33 in and rides way up my back. I'm surprised--I thought Parfait bands were known for running tight. I'll have to exchange this again for a 30F.

    • That's weird - I just got 32E floral and I have to wear it with an extender on the first hook. I'm just right in 32 panache, AP, and 70 Comexim. Maybe they have inconsistencies?

      Thanks for your review - I was tempted to try past colorways but now I won't since the cups were wider. :)

    • Maybe there is an inconsistency--the 32F I tried before was fine in the band. I hope I don't regret exchanging it for a 30F...

    40GG

    Didn't fit

    I went up to a GG from a G on this bra and quad boob is gone but I think the wide cup is just not for me. The gore still won't tack. On my smaller side I will need a cookie. The plus of this bra is the 4 hook band...great for smoothing out back fat.

    Why can't finding bras be easier??? And also why do the US and UK size show as GG for both on the label? Just adds to the sizing confusion https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

    I have decided to keep this bra as I like the rounded look in my ... shirt plus the back fat smoothing. The gore not tacking leaves a hint of cleavage which is fabulous.

    EDITED TO ADD: I wore this bra for the first time - I felt very "front and center" in it and also the cups I could feel under my arms. Not necessarily a bad thing as there's more coverage - just different from a bra with a shorter band width - Ewa Michalak, for instance, my chest feels uplifted and out of my way.

      If you like this bra but need narrower wires and maybe more projection try the Charlotte that is the floral pattern. They remade it. I can't remember who tried it but they loved it.

      It was PetiteCollegiate who did the review. Here's was a 28DD but she did a full blog review with helpful info for all sizes.

    • Thank you pumkinswife ! I will read her review.

      I also read petitecollegiate's review and bought a Floral print in 32FF. It's coming this week, so I will post a review on it this Saturday.

    • Will watch for it janearmena! Thanks 😄

    • NP! fingers crossed X

    Didn't fit

    Happy with this bra. Fits well even with a bit of the top of the gore not quite tacking. It is a little longer than my other bras so I will live with it. The tag says the USA and UK sizes are both a G. Puzzled by this as my other Charlotte in the same size says it is an I in USA sizing. The two bras fit the same and measure the same despite this.

    32J

    Didn't fit

    I found this bra online and was quite excited to find a cute bra in my size! When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was that it looked a bit different that I expected (though it was still definitely nice looking). The first appearance discrepancy is that the black seaming does not go quite as high as I had expected from stock pictures of it. The second difference was that the straps were visibly much wider than stock photos indicated.
    In regards to the cup, the bra gave me some nice cleavage and the gore tacked but overall it was not a very good fit. The cups were ... much too high on the sides for me to wear. I also had a bit of quadboob in the center, while not quite filling up the upper outer part of the cup (by the straps). The straps were nice and thick, but definitely much too wide set.
    The band actually fit quite well. It has 4 hooks, which results in a wider band which I liked. It fit true to size, so I have no complaints there.
    It really is a nice bra, it is just much too wide for me. If you tend to prefer bras with wider cups and taller wings, this could be a good fit for you.

    • i dont think its a UK J? but i could be wrong?

    • the cup depth is . . . nowheres near what i would expect from a 32J

    • It does use UK sizing. I think that maybe they use the tall cups and gore to compensate for the shallowness of the cup because that way you still end up with a similar volume, though I'm not really sure

    • RollsAndCurves I'm tall so it wasn't so bad in the front. But the part that goes into my armpit was just ridiculous with how tall it was

    I really do like this bra. I've owned a few in different colours and sizes in the last couple of years. One thing I will say is that Charlotte's sizing is very consistent. I've found that is true with other Parfait models. Try this bra if you are tall and generally shallow rooted. This bra is very comfortable and the band is stretchy but snug. It is not as firm as a Freya Deco, but the strong elasticity of the band coupled with the 4 row hooks will give you a very stable and secure feeling. I have almost no bounce in this bra.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    This is the beige colour. I meant to buy 30F but it turned out to be 30G (for some reason it appeared both 30F and 30G in Bratabase, that was odd) . My usual size is 28F-28FF´ish. This bra fits well otherwise but the cups are too big. But not excessively big, I think one sup size down and it would be perfect!
    The band is quite snug, it fits me well in the loosest hooks. My comfortably tight underbust is 26 inches.

    Might I say that this bra is seriously comfortable! Wires don´t poke, and although the strap placement is too wide for me, even the straps don´t seem to scrathc me. I only wish the size was right! I will have to re-list this bra, please buy it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
