This bra is the wrong shape for me. The band is also too stretchy. It is only tight enough on the tightest hook, so if it came in a 28 band that would probably be fine. I don't believe the wires are too narrow for me but I do seem to have some orange in a glass going on. I think my breasts may not be shallow enough for the bra but it's hard to tell. However, the cup seems like it is too closed on top to be good for shallow breasts. I'm keeping this bra because I only have one other black one at the moment and it it good enough for occasional use. Also, I cut off the bows because they were too girly for me.

This bra has a very firm band, which I prefer. Since buying it I have had some tissue remigration and it is now slightly too small in the cups although still wearable. My underbust has also changed by about an inch (from 27" to 26") and this bra is still quite tight enough for me so true 28 bands may find it uncomfortable especially if they have little padding on the ribs. The wires are slightly too narrow for me but not by a huge amount. The lace is very forgiving so the wrinkling in the bottom from too narrow wires and slight quadboob are not noticeable under clothing.

I've been wanting to try the Charlotte for months and was so glad to find it on the listings for a great price so I could finally get my hands on it. I had heard the band runs tight tho I was skeptical that the 30 would work for me since I take a 28 in unpadded Cleos which are also known to run tight, but the 30 really is perfectly fine. The cups also run small, so basically this 30E is more like a 28E. It's very comfortable, gives a great shape, and I love the almost pin-up inspired design. I highly recommend this one!

I'm a projected, slightly full on top 28E/F. This bra is PERFECT for me. I love the color (I currently have aquamarine) and the fit is so great that I will probably be buying one in every colorway I can find.

I would not recommend this bra for shallow breasts or full on bottom. As it is an unpadded Cleo, I will say that it is consistent with others in that the band runs a little tight (which is fine for me since my underbust measures 26") so if you're in between bands then definitely size up.

The band is very firm. I prefer this (as I measure 26" as tight as possible) but it may be uncomfortable for true 28 bands. I also would not recommend this bra for shallow girls, which is common in this size range. I have an unusual amount of projection for this size range and am pretty even in terms of fullness and still have difficulties filling out the top, which is a shame because I absolutely love this pattern. The lace is very stiff so it would definitely be noticebale if there was any more wrinkling than I currently experience. I wish they would make a Juna cut with the Meg pattern! Anyway, this bra is 100% for full on top girls, which is rare in this size range so shallow or full on bottom girls should probably steer clear.

This band runs small, since it measures the same stretched as most of my 28 bands. I was nervous about ordering this bra at first because I have a 26" ribcage and prefer my bands tight so the fact that it isn't made in a 28 band was worrisome, but it turned out to be perfect on the loosest hook. I like the removable padding since it's good for evening out my smaller breast, but when I have the padding in on the larger side it does create some quadboob. I will say I am really on the line between 28E/F at this point so that is probably ... to be expected. It is very comfortable and it a great basic black plunge so I am very glad it fits as well as it does. I would say this is definitely my best fitting bra at the moment.

One other thing, I have heard this bra suggested for shallow breasts many times, but supposedly they have changed the cut to make it a little deeper. I assume the bra I ordered is probably of the newer cut, as I have an unusual amount of projection for this size range and the depth is not a problem for me. The balcony version is probably better for true shallow breasts.

I definitely prefer this bra over the Freya Active. The fit on this one can be hard to determine because of the way the gore works (there's like two layers of fabric so it can look like it isn't tacking even when it is) and such, but it's very comfortable and works great for sports/running/etc. I'm in between a 28E and F and this bra fit well in the 28E; I think a 28F would have been too big. The band is pretty snug, so if you're in between bands you might consider sizing up.

Also, the straps are fine when they're in the regular position, but I can't use the J-hook at all, even when the straps are loosened all the way. The straps dig into my neck when I use the hook and are way too tight, which is unfortunate because I wear a lot of tank tops when working out so it would be nice to convert it. But I can live with that as its only flaw.

I LOVE this bra. It is so pretty, the material feels great, and it gives me a beautiful shape. The band is definitely on the tight side, so I would probably suggest sizing up unless you're like me and like really tight bands; I think a 28 band in this would be really good for someone who needs 26s. I also measure in the middle of 28E/F, so if you're somewhat in between cup sizes like I am, I suggest going with your larger size. The gore is quite pokey which I guess isn't super surprising considering that something their sister brand Cleo is known for.

Edit: After wearing ... it a few more times I've come to realize that the band is very tight, even too tight for me; I could barely wear it for an hour each time I tried. It also doesn't have enough immediate projection for me so if you often have a problem with that then I might skip on this one. It's unfortunate because like I said, it's a very pretty bra and gives a great shape.

This bra is very pretty but is WAY too shallow for me. I'm usually in between 28E/F so I ordered both, but I probably need at least a 28FF in this one. It's very pretty and I think in the right size would give a nice shape, but if you're at all projected I would definitely recommend sizing up.
