This style is a little better than the 38HH - Royce » Sadie Nursing (819) style in that the cups don't seem QUITE as droopy as Sad Sadie! But it still has the same pointy look you may know and love from Royce bras. It's also a little cuter because there's a shear mesh with small poka-dots along the top, a lace-like ribbing between the shear top and the silky panel below, and of course the standard bow in a shiny matching colour at the top of the gore.
Just like the Sadie, I went up a size in the band and two sizes in the cup ... and awfully glad I did! If I thought the Sadie was tight, the Charlotte is even TIGHTER. The only way to get the bra on was to loosen the straps first. This model also suffers from the under arm pit pinch, but not quite as stiff. The band under the arm has more stretch in this model than Sadie, but I still feel Royce would do better if they cut the material more curved (women are not made out of straight lines!).
I think this style would work fine for everyday wear, especially as I have a job that requires me to do a lot of bending and lifting. Still not a date night bra by any means, but as a general doing work around the house and other physical activities, it does the job.
