I own two other bras by them and they are all 30FF. They have all fit me the same.

I bought this bra from another Bratabase user and it fits me without problems. I own the Charlotte in 30FF so I knew this one would fit me.

I have the Dusty Rose version of the Charlotte. I absolutely love this bra but it is tight in the band. I am glad I went for the 30FF and not 28G version I was originally considering. I did have to adjust the straps of this bra to get it them to stay. I would highly recommending ordering up from your normal size in this.

This bra is very comfy. It fits well. I range between an FF and an F cup size and I went with an FF. the band seems more like a true 30 than most Parfait bras.

This is definitely the best fit I've found to date. Unfortunately, it isn't as uplifting as I'd like, and the side slings slightly misshape my very soft breasts, so it doesn't look too great in a profile view https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> But the fabric is very silky and comfy (which makes it far superior to my Cleos,) the sides actually come up high enough to keep my boobs from sneaking back out, the band is the perfect firmness, and generally it's just lovely. The bow pattern is so cute too!

It's the most comfortable bra I've worn in awhile. It feels like most of the readily assessable bras in my size range are either for Grannies or nursing mothers, so it's nice to have such a truly cute bra. The color, the lace, the tassel on the bow. So cute!
It can feel a little industrial on, the straps are so thick. And it seems to get less comfortable the longer I wear it, or if I get any kind of sweaty at all.
So this is maybe a cute, going out bra. Not a wear all day to work bra.

I got this from another Bratabase user, brand new, still with the tags on it. I had just listed my own in the same size and color, so was hesitant to get another one. I haven't verified the measurements between the 2, but I think they are fairly similar. However, this one does seem just a tad larger in the cup than my previous one. I get only a tiny bit of spillage, but not enough to get worked up about at this point. It's beautiful. I've lost my absolute love of Parfait, as the fit seems to have changed somewhat from the first several that I tried, and the last several that I've gotten have not been a great fit at all. This one falls somewhere in between for me I think, not great, but not awful either. It's pretty but not one that I'll wear often.

I can't tell if this bra is right for me...it seems like the straps are really wide though this is the best fitting bra I've tried

This review is for the European nude color, which is really an attractive neutral. I've worn this style before without any problems, so reordered to replace one that had worn out. It looks like they've redesigned it a little bit from the previous year, but no major changes. The most noticeable change is that the straps are much less stretchy, now a simple satin finish rather than the thick elastic from previous years. I think it's an improvement. They're still very wide and not really something you'd want to slip out of a tanktop though. I have a weird fit issue with ... this bra though. The cups seem to fit perfectly if I just hold them up, but when I put the bra on there's a gap at the upper edge. I think it's because the bottom of the cup is too shallow and my tissue tilts it forward a little bit. No amount of adjusting the straps, pulling down the band, etc, seems to help. And the weirdest thing is that the black version, same model, same size, fits perfectly.

Beautiful bra but it has a very pointy and east/west shape.

Lovely bra as far as looks and craftmanship go - the fit is more tricky. This size (30FF) is probably a bit too big on me. I need to adjust the straps very short to bring the cups high enough not to gape terribly. This puts the cups right up into my armpits however, which is not very comfortable. The non-padded upper part of the cups is very stretchy lace, which is not a great fit for soft breast tissue.
The underwires are the sturdiest (won't distort) I've ever come across in a bra. The band is tight for a 30, I'd say it fits like a Freya 28.

Very pretty bra. I've been told Parfait has great bras. I've heard rave reviews about the Charlotte, but didn't like the design of it. This has satin and lace, so a very feminine touch. Nice thick straps, with accordion folds on part of it.

This bra is a great fit for me! It hugs me in all the right places to give my breasts a nice lifted and round shape. Gives great cleavage for those times when that's appropriate. The lift also allows for my waist to be seen more and that helps me to appear thinner. If you have wide breasts that tend to go a bit under your armpits, like mine do, this bra will help bring it all forward. When I first got the bra the band felt slightly tight and would irritate me after a couple of hours of wear, but it seems to be breaking ... in nicely. A bra extender can help alleviate this issue until it's broken in, as well. My only mild complaint is that my breasts tend to spill out a bit in the center after a few hours of wear and moving around. It's not enough to bother me too much, though, as I love the shape this gives me. The design on the cups is a nice detail. It's lacey on the bottom half of the cup. I don't think the lace would show through in most shirts since it is on the under side of your breasts. The straps are comfortable, but slightly too wide to be worn under spaghetti strap shirts. This probably won't be my everyday bra, but it will definitely get plenty of use when I want to dress up for a night out or wear tight/lower cut shirts.

See my previous review. This remains one of my favorite everyday bras that I will keep in my collection for a long time to come, if at all possible https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra is far too big in the band for me - unlike Charlotte it doesn't run small. The cups are also too large, but also not good for my shape as they are fairly shallow and wide. I don't get on well with the centre gore as it's too wide for my close-set shape. The straps are only partially adjustable so not great for petite ladies. I'm sad this bra is so incompatible with me as the colour is beautiful!

So pretty, gives a great shape, but just so uncomfortable. At first I thought I would get used to it, but something about the band just isn't happening. It feels really stiff https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I'm about a 28.5-29 underbust and this is a 30, but it's just a very stiff material and not comfortable :/ Cups are true to size and looks great on; I might recommend sizing up in the band though

Previously reviewed this one, but if it fit, I'd love it! Very comfortable, just too small in the cups for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

too large all over, not going to both to try the 30F since the underwire hurts and the bra looks cheap

I ordered this and a Deco at the same time to compare the two, but in two different sizes. I ordered this in a 30FF, and I don't quad any but the cups are too wide and come up too high into the armpit, especially when I've adjusted the straps short enough to eliminate most of the gaping. I think the straps on both bras are pretty horrible-looking, personally, but in different ways. I find both to be too wide for my tastes; my breasts do not need industrial strength straps to keep them up when my band is doing most of the work. I think the bows ... on the Deco are unattractive and tacky, but I'm not sure that the raw, haphazard joining of strap and cup in the Jeanie is preferable. The ring and sliding-adjuster on the Jeanie seem flimsier than on the Deco.
Much like the "nude" Deco, this bra is not a compatible color for me, so I can't even call it functional.
Comfort-wise, besides the cups coming up too high into my armpits, the bra is quite comfortable. It has wider wings and 3 hooks instead of 2, which is nice, and the band is firmer than the 28FF Deco.
The silhouette is slightly more natural than the super-round Deco, but after a few months of wearing nothing but unpadded bras, I feel rather bulky (I'm sure the width of the cups and straps don't help).
I suppose it would be functional enough if my arms were covered, but living in a hot place, that's almost never the case over the summer :\

After buying the 30G by mistake I re-ordered this in the 30FF. I think we have a winner. Right out of the package, the band is almost uncomfortably tight, but I have another Parfait bra in a 30F and the band stretched nicely after a few wears.
