I tried this bra on in a boutique, mostly because there were so few bras in my size at the store that I tried on anything the saleswoman brought me, even though my intention was a smooth t-shirt bra. Aesthetically, it's a very pretty piece. At the time that I tried it, I was probably thinking how out of place it would be in my wardrobe of otherwise plain things. But the dusty rose color was so pretty and the style uniquely retro. So early in my journey to find a bra in my "real" size, I felt like for once I was able to try on pretty things like smaller-chested women and I appreciated that. The fitter brought it in in size 30G (my usual UK size), but it was too small in the cup. I seem to have this problem with Parfait. I believe the straps were also a little long, so I couldn't get it all the way up in my IMF. At the time, I didn't think of altering it and there is no larger cup size in a 30 band. All the fit issues were too much combined. On the plus side, the contour padding on this bra is extremely thick. It was like wearing body armor, but I didn't feel like it gave any extra bulk, just a nice shape (minus the quad-boob) and good support. I hate that I'm sized out of this item, because I would pick one up just to have a fancy addition to my closet. I normally wear a 30G, not a 30GG, so it's doubly annoying that I can't fit into it. The other Parfait By Affinitas Charlotte Padded Bra (6901) which is not a balconnet comes in more sizes, but the wires and cups are far too tall on my frame. Sad, because that's a cute bra, too.
