See my review of the same bra in 28FF here:

I initially thought 28G would be the size I would keep. I wore it around the house for a while and decided the band was a bit too tight. So I put on an extender... and the cups started gaping. 28FF it is, then.

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

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.

Pretty true to size meaning it doesn't fit right now . I expected the fit to be too small because I already had the 36g in pink. I hoped sizing down would solve the overly wide wire problem without being too tight. I was kinda right. The cups overflow but the wires are much less wide. The band is just a little too tight to look good, although it feels fine.
Update 5/19: the band and skirted portions just fit at my current weight. The cups look like a fit but I bet they'd quad within a short time.

This is one of the cutest and softest bras I have found in this size range. It is stretchy and silky smooth, and very supportive for a totally unlined bra. I really like the stretch lace! That said, the cups are just a tad low for my very soft tissue — I have to do quite a bit of arranging to prevent spillage/indentation/quadboob at the top of the cups. It’s not a major deal because the bra fits well, but if the top of the cup came up just a centimeter or so higher, I think it would be perfect for me.
One thing to be aware of is that the horizontal seam across the front of the cup can be very visible under thin/clingy clothing. It’s like a ridge across your boob. For thicker, looser or more structured clothing, this bra is perfect, though. Supportive but lightweight and breathable.

This is probably the best-fitting bra that I own! The tall wings and gore keep my soft FOB breasts in place, and create a nice rounded D shape under clothes. There is boning on the sides next to the wings, which makes them extra supportive. However, this does detract a bit from the comfort of this bra. I normally wear this on the middle hooks- Parfait seems to run small in the band.
The black piping does show under thinner shirts, which is kind of a pain, but I just pop on a tank so they don't show! The fabric over the gore is not sewn down to the gore, so it kind of sticks out oddly, but this doesn't show under clothes and isn't a dealbreaker.

I tried this bra in a store. It is beautiful and the gore is quite low, allowing some cleavage. On the other hand, the bra gives an east-west and conical breash shape. The cupr are small, this bra fits more like a Freya 30ff.

I tried this one because the Parfait Marion fits me well. I honestly just don't like this one. It's pretty, but not my style and I don't like the mix of fabrics. I feel like that mixture will show under shirts.
The fit isn't terrible, but it just seems a little off all around. The band is just a little too tight - it may give some with time, but I don't like it enough to give it time. The gore almost tacks. I think the gore may be a tad bit too wide for me, but it may also be a consequence of the cup depth. The cups ... fit are filled fairly well because the wires follow my shape pretty well, but I feel like I could use a little bit more projection at the wire. Maybe a bit more depth overall. The cups do come a bit high for me - the top cuts into my armpit. The weirdest thing with this bra is that I get a bit of quadboob on my larger breast and a bit of gaping on my smaller breast. The one breast is a little smaller than the other, but it usually doesn't cause problems. Finally, the straps are a little too far apart, so I feel like they are going to slide off my shoulders.
Despite all this, I would say some people would keep the bra. The fit isn't necessarily bad. It just feels like everything *almost* fits. The whole bra is pretty stiff and wants to hold it's shape, so it doesn't want to mold to me.

For context, my measurements put me between a 32 and a 34 band. The latter is sometimes too loose, but the former is sometimes too tight. This puts me between a rock and a hard place when trying to evaluate bras.
When I tried the Parfait Jeanie in a 32FF, the band was a bit too firm and there wasn't enough projection at the wire for me. The 34 band feels better and the 34F (sister size to the 32FF) has more projection at the wire which works better for my breast tissue. However, there is still some discomfort in this bra. The primary issue is that the cups ... come up too high into my armpit and the straps are set too wide for me. This combination digs into my Tail of Spence and is quite uncomfortable. Additionally, the cups are a bit too wide for me. Finally, while I mostly fill out the cups while standing straight and still, they don't move with me very well (as often happens with molded bras). This creates a visible line under my clothes that is somewhat distracting.
Overall, this wasn't worth keeping for me.

I picked this up because the Parfait Marion fits me well. Unfortunately, this bra has some of the typical problems that I experience with molded bras.
While it doesn't look too bad in the pictures, there isn't enough projection at the wire for me. Therefore, my breast tissue gets pushed up out of the bottom of the cup. This is exasperated by the firmness of the band because my tissue can't push the band out much. On the upside, the top of the cup is filled out well. However, the line can be sometimes seen under clothes when I move. Additionally, the straps are set too wide for me and the cups cut into my Tail of Spence. The overall effect results in some great cleavage, but it isn't the most comfortable.
I don't plan to keep this bra, but I could see how it would work for specific occasions.

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.

This bra is so, so close to perfect. I love the soft stretchy fabric and the pretty lace and the lovely rose color. It fits me very, very well — except that the gore will not lay flat no matter how I manipulate everything. I think this might be solved by dropping down to the 34FF, as the back of the bra also felt a tiny bit loose. If I can find this bra in that size, I’ll exchange it and give it a try. Even if I can’t, I’m tempted to keep it, though. It’s just that pretty. This bra gives a nice natural shape under clothing, but be aware that the lace may show through very thin fabrics.
