    30E

    Didn't fit

    I so would like this bra to work for me. It's gorgeous. The center gore kills me. I've bent the wires away from my sternum, which helped somewhat. The band feels much tighter than a 30. The straps are also too far apart and dig into my arm pits. I'd be willing to give this another go in 32 band, just because I love the style. Currently, I can wear this bra for about 20 minutes before I say enough. Another thing worth mentioning is that the cups seem rather tall-great if you have tall roots, but alas, I do not.

    This bra fits the best out of all the bras I have. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />


    The cups are hugely tall and the cup is leaning on the shallow side. I have slight quad boob in this and a bit of gaping near the straps. I think that is because they are so darn tall! the straps and side construction of the bra remind me of when you wear one of those girdle vest things.


    The cleavage it get is ok, but I feel as if the bra is flattening my chest and pushing it up at the same time? IDK

    When I wear this bra I also get a slight look that I have Symmastia.

    Overall I like it and would suggest it to others, but The straps are crazy far apart and the cups are gigantically tall.

    Didn't fit

    Sadly the bra does not really fit me. It's not a horrible fit. My usual size these days is 32JJ/K and since the Charlotte is known to run about 2 cup sizes small, I decided to size up to 34K.
    Size – wise it is not such a bad fit! The band is very wide and supportive. (4 hook closure!! Why doesn't every bra in the J+ cup range have 4 hook closure???) The band is a bit big, but it does not ride up. I also love those wide shoulder straps! The whole bra construction is very sturdy and supportive. If only they would improve the fit issues... ...

    Like I said, the cups run small. The main problem in my opinion is though, that the cups are very shallow. Especially towards the centre. This is a big issue, since my boobs are very centre heavy. So the gore does not tack since there is just not enough room for my boobs near the gore. (Also I find the gore to be quite wide)

    On the other side, the cups are also too big. Too big, when they are too small? They are too tall! I really need tall cups. (I need the original cup height in Comexim bras and I can wear most Panache bras, even the older styles with the taller wires) But the cups of the Charlotte are just over the top. I get huge gaping towards the straps. I tried shortening the straps very much to get rid of this. But this doesn't make it much better... I get rid of the gaping but feel “constricted” by the cup height on the side and the tight straps... I really don't know what shape I'd need to have to fit into this bra. Maybe more shallow boobs but even taller and fuller on top?

    It's so sad since the bra is just sooooooo pretty! And I love the construction (wide band, straps, 4 hook closure)! It's comfy (the padding of the cups feels so soft, it feels like boobs on clouds) apart from the problems that the tall cups cause.

    This bra needs (in H+ cup sizes): deeper cups, less tall cups, narrower gore. Also it should run more true to size. I'm sad that this bra does not work for me :/

    30G

    Didn't fit

    Color: Peach

    30G is the same size that fits me in the Parfait By Affinitas Charlotte Balconet Bra (6931) (one cup size up from my current starting-point size of 30FF). In this version? No! Should have gone with my usual 30FF.

    Cups: The wires are on the wider side, although not the widest I've worn; the cups are reasonably deep and fairly open at the top (especially compared to the shallower, more closed 6931). Both wires and wings are quite tall under the arms; excellent for corralling sideboob and giving smooth lines under the arms and on the back. (Not a good choice for those with narrow roots, ... high roots or short torsos.)

    Not a lot of room at the bottom of the cups for immediate projection. I suspect that, on me, the bottoms of the cups would crease with wear.

    I'd try your usual cup size first in this bra; perhaps one size up if you're very FOT. (I have even fullness.)

    Band: I found the wide band nicely firm, on the snugger side of 30 but not a full band size small.

    Unless you have a strong preference/need for bands on the looser side, I'd give your regular band size a try first.

    Great looking bra; the wires are incredibly tall, and so are the cups. I had lots of empty space on the sides and near the straps. I wish this worked for me because it is so cute! Trying it in a smaller size.

    28E

    Didn't fit

    This is definitely not a 28"- it's a very firm 26" - I recommend it to those needing 26" and 24" bands. Fit wise, it's pretty good- no quadboob or gaping, the straps are wideset, and the cup/wire width doesn't cause any problems. The problem however, is in the comfort: It's extremely painful; I experience both gore and wire digging, as if the bra's too small. It could also be the result of the tight band/rigid material combo.

    Please read my full review for more info!

    I understand others have advised to go up a cup and band size, but I think I should have gone up only in band size. I've noticed I have a tendency to not be able to fully fill out the top of the cups, but the rest is fine. Nevertheless, I still would recommend this bra to others because it's so aesthetically appealing.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    I absolutely LOVE the look of this bra, so when I seen it on Ebay for a decent price, although they only had it in a 30G I had to get it! I figured that buying a 30G couldn't be to far off my size (I was SO wrong), as I read a review on Bratabase stating it was more like a 28G.

    Band-
    The band is absolutely perfect on me, so comfortable, I have never worn a more comfortable firm band! My ribcage measures 70cm tight and 73 loose, and this band is 75cm stretched... so I will be looking for bras with similar band measurements!

    Gore-
    Again, the best gore ... I have found. I usually suffer from gores really rubbing me, but this one sat firmly against my sternum and did not move at all!

    Wire-
    The wire wasn't at all uncomfortable despite being the wrong shape (I say wrong shape instead of too long etc as it came up to a nice height, and enclose all of my breast tissue, but at the lower outside it didn't follow my breast tissue and went quite low before curving in).

    Cups-
    The cups came up far to high under my arms and rubbed my armpits, but this could be due to the cup size being too big. I couldn't fill the bottom of the cup despite how far I pulled the bra up so it just must have been to shallow for my breasts (I assume they are slightly bottom heavy, but they spread over a lot of my chest and are sort of shallow and firm at the top so I'm not sure if I'd suit full on top or full on bottom style bras). The cups sat smoothly on my chest if I had correct posture, however if I twisted my body or slouched at all they would gape, mostly near the armpits.

    Straps-
    I found that they were very far apart for a small band and uncomfortably dug into my armpits. I also think the wide-set straps contributed to the gaping of the cups as when I moved, my arms pushed the straps forward, pushing the cups forward.

    • Stiff bras usually gape when you slouch. At least on me.

    I want to like the Charlotte so bad. It looks amazing and gives a great shape, but the fit it just...off. This bra is tricky to fit. The cups run about 1-2 sizes too small and the band is pretty loose for 30. The upper portion of the cup cuts into my breast tissue in an odd manner as well and had it not been for this, I could have forgave a lot of sins with this bra. I may have to sell this bra.
