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!!!
I wanted to love this bra, and if I find it for cheap I might buy it again to see if I can alter it, but the outer edges of the cups are just way too high. The fabric is very soft, but within five minutes I could already feel that I had to move oddly to try to keep the pressure from eating into my skin. I'm so sad that it didn't work, because it was otherwise super comfortable. The wide band felt lovely and supportive and although as other people have said, it feels somewhat like scaffolding (it's a very thick bra), it's beautifully constructed and the design is lovely.
I wanted to love this bra. The look is so retro and fun. When I pulled it out of the box I thought "Good lord that's huge! Maybe I should have ordered the H" But once trying it on...nope The band is nice and firm. 4 hooks, YAY! But the cups. Oh the cups. They are too wide, causing a bit of flattening. My right breast tries to climb into the left cup. I have quad boob even though the gore doesn't tack. And when forced to there's even more quad boob. The cups are also really tall. Almost 9" at the center. The straps also cut into my armpits. This one is going back.
I got this bra in the dusty rose color. Unfortunately the cup is still a little too small. I am a 34H most of the time and I purposely ordered the 34HH because of this bras reputation for small cup sizing. I have slight quadding and the gore isn't quite tacking. I will try the 34J because I think that will remedy these issues. The band I find to be accurate. The four hooks is amazing. It feels so secure and sturdy and it does wonders for back fat. If you're a true K or maybe even double JJ this bra probably won't work for you. You definitely need to size up one or two cups.
