This bra is clearly one size too small. (the size 30E fits me nearly perfectly) If I was FOB, with short roots, I think I'd like the smaller fit, but because I'm more even, with tall roots, the bra cuts into my root, instead of just giving me better cleavage.

Despite the size issue, I will keep this as a back up bra, because it is comfortable.

This bra is gorgeous! The seams are a bit thick though, and will show under thin fabric. The wings are quite tall, which I love, personally. But if you often have issues with tall wings then this might not work for you. The cups are very shallow, which is wonderful for my equally shallow, FoB breasts not sure how it would work on someone with a different shape.

Update: This has become my most-worn bra! It's so comfortable and the fit is just right. I hope Parfait will introduce many more bras with this style.

Original:
I have both the Charlotte Balconette and the Charlotte Padded underwire bra. They are both in size 30DD. The balconette is too small on me but I love the style and the peach/black colors, so I purchased this model. It fits and it has excellent side support and great tall sides. My husband absolutely loves the balconette model, but this one barely gets a yawn. I pointed out to him that it's styled like that "Roaring 20's looking bra" he loves so much, but he just shrugged. He says it looks like an ordinary, everyday support bra to him. Oh well - I bought this for myself anyways. It wears under just about everything and it gives better lift and shaping than most "t-shirt" type bras.

This is a pretty bra and I like the retro look but the padding is thicker than I care for. The cups were just a little bit small and the band was too loose. I also found that the seams were noticeable under clothing.

Very comfy bra and fits great! I have it in both red and peach.

It runs somewhat tight in the band. I normally wear 28E, and a 30DD in this bra fits well.

I have a short torso so the bra is just too tall. The band is snug, maybe even too snug. The wires are too wide for my chest though. Maybe the balconette version will be better.
