Based on my review of the the pink in 32GG (32GG - Parfait By Affinitas » Charlotte Padded Bra (6901) ):

I really love the 'pin-uppy' aesthetic of this bra, but sadly it's not a good match for me.
This 32H in Red actually fits me very similarly to the 32GG in Pink.

Fit issues:
Bottom cups are way too shallow for me, causing me to size up to avoid quadding. This also adds to the tallness of the cups.
But my real deal-breaker is the amount of coverage in the armpit / tail of spence area!

I'm apparently someone with unreasonable tenderness there, who often experiences (even generally well-fitting) bras to 'chafe' my armpit area... (while I see other people wearing bras with much more 'armpit material' without trouble - so yeah I don't know, call me sensitive). But as Charlotte has SO.MUCH.MATERIAL near the armpit, I can't comfortably deal with it. Especially as it's thick/foamy as well.

So I returned this bra.
Attempted bra surgery on the pink one (as I really did love Charlotte) by lowering the wings, which seemed to have potential, but never completely finished the alteration. So while I did cut and re-pin the sides in a way that seemed to work, can't comment on success for actual wear.

I'm still low-key contemplating the Shimmer Floral though, which is supposed to have much better projection!
So I could size down for sure, like 32G, which could hopefully also (partly) counter the too-much-armpit-material effect?
