Meh. I'm a bit disappointed by this bra. In theory, it's great: a nice nude bra with some fancy lace detailing, a go-to basic that also has a little of it's own pizzazz. In reality, "European nude" it is not - unless you count cadavers. It's definitely more "greige" than beige, some kind of no man's land between nude, taupe, and grey. Not a pretty color at all. I could have easily overlooked the color if it had a good fit, and I ought to mention the fabric is undoubtedly superb (seriously, whatever they're putting in the lycra over at Parfait, it's magical). But ugh, the fit.

Here's the thing: It's got this separate piece of fabric inside (I guess the kids are calling it a "sling") but I can't fathom this thing working in ANYONE's favor. Maybe if your boobs are already set close together and if they are kind of perky on their own, maybe. But it was the most bizarre looking lumps I have ever seen. Why not just make the whole inner section in the support fabric? As it is, there's a bulge where the sling drops off and my boobs succumb to gravity again. All that, plus the top edge of the fabric cuts in, and the shape is down-ward pointing (probably because they only put the non-stretch fabric in that stupid sling, and the rest of the bra is sadly stretchy. Who's idea was that?)

So, no, this bra didn't work on several different levels. I'm disappointed, because I really like my Charlotte and I was hoping Parfait had something good to offer in the non-padded department. Somebody get those silly slings out of the bras.

This bra is not owned any more
