Charley has a four part cup construction with a side-support panel. The top is a non-stretch mesh panel with an elastic strip on the top edge. This model has pretty meadow flowers embroidered on the top mesh. The bottom cups are a lined mesh covered with a diamond pattern netting that is a little scratchy at first, but not bothersome under clothes, *except* that the band rolled under within just a few minutes of putting it on, and so the scratchy netting was abrasive under the wire. The straps come with a built-in J hook for wearing in racerback style if desired.
Shapewise, the cup is slightly narrower than the Matilda's and the cup slightly deeper, just a hair more projected maybe. I had a little more wrinkling in the cups which makes me suspect I could size down, and that may be why I felt like the apex was sitting just a little lower than on Matilda. Otherwise very similar.
