Really had high hopes for this. The band is super snug for a bra that I bought preowned. Feels like a 30 rather than 32. The cups give me quad boob, and that's too bad cause it's a nice style bra and gives me a nice full look that would compliment my pendulous and shallow FOB shape. I would need to try in a band larger and cup larger. Or maybe just going up in band size would be enough? No clue.

Gorgeous bra with a more muted peach color than I was expecting. It's not as comfortable as I was expecting, but I think Ewa Michalak has spoiled me.

This bra is not particularly asymmetry-friendly. Very stiff cups, but nice and narrow. The bottom doesn't have quite enough projection for me. I am getting this bra again in a band size down (because it's pretty!), but I don't think it will be a part of my day to day rotation. Nice bra for the upcoming winter; wouldn't show through sweaters! Not a thinner shirt bra by any means.

With tissue as soft as mine, the cup ran pretty true to ... size if maybe a little small. The band is tight but still definitely a 32 to me (it gently stretches past 30, but I had it on the tightest hook before it felt reasonable and I'm about a 29" underbust).

PLEASE NOTE! The 32F has only 2 hooks, not three like the FF. I forgot to check and prefer the 3 hook closure (I previously owned a red Charlotte that has this and loved it).

This is a really beautiful bra. It comes up pretty high on the sides, which can be a bit uncomfortable since I have narrow shoulders causing the straps to dig in. The cups are very stiff, so expect some gapping when you move around or lift your arms up.

I get a a great fit in this. The band is a perfect 2-finger tightness and the cups are about perfect. I do sometimes get slight overflow near the gore and a bit of empty space near the straps, but that seems to be because of my soft breasts. I have that problem in all plunge styles.

I would suggest sizing up in the cup; I usually wear a 32E and this is an F. Also the straps are fairly wideset. Not a big problem for me, though I do get a bit of rubbing after a few hours where the strap meets the cup.

Lookwise, this is a gorgeous bra.

Woohoo! A set that fits! I must admit that I'm still in the honeymoon phase with Parfait's Charlotte. It's so beautiful, it's practically perfect, all of it's flaws are just adorable quirks, I'm ne...

I ordered my usual size, and the bra gave me horrible spillage on top. Not sure if I need to go up one or even two cup sizes, but the bra is hot in a subtle way and feels well made, so I'm definitely getting one in a size that I think will suit my boobs better.

Too small everywhere. Has a very snug band and the cup is not true to size, it runs small and I would recommend to go at least one size up.

I bought this bra online, and would have to disagree with sizing up in the band. I ordered this bra in a 32F, up from a 30F, since I'd read that it ran small in both the band and the cups.

While the band isn't huge on me, i have it fastened on the middle hook and can comfortably fasten it on the tightest. After wearing for a day, I think a 30 would be more comfortable. I will be altering the band.

The straps are fully adjustable, so if you are petite or your breasts are high on your chest, you can shorten them to your hearts content. ... The red is a beautiful colour, and the black details really make it pop.

The cups covers most of the breast, so it's comfortable enough for everyday, and you don't have to worry about falling out the top. I would say that the cups feel rather thick, though. They are foam, and you can compress them between your fingers, so maybe they just give the illusion of being thicker than they are.

I was concerned about getting this bra after my unsuccessful attempt with the Parfait By Affinitas Danielle Contour Bra (8501) - I thought perhaps I may have similar problems with the shape of the molded cups and find the padding uncomfortable. But my worries were for nothing! This bra is great.

Aesthetically, I LOVE the styling of this bra. I'm a fan of the retro pin-up look, and this bra definitely appeals to that sense. The red is a super-flattering color (red tends to be a good color for me, as I have pink undertones in my skin) and I really like ... the black piping along the seams and cup edges. I also liked the use of both the shiny side and the matte side of the satin - parts of the cups (the center gore, side slings and wings) have a glossier finish to provide contrast to the matt fabric elsewhere. The matching panties also use the contrasting finishes as well. A note about the panties - they do run small. I normally wear a medium, but the seller only had them in large. I figured what-the-hey and took them and to my surprise they fit quite well. So to those of you who want to buy this bra with matching undies, I recommend sizing up.

As for the bra, I could not ask for a more perfect fit. Everything about the cups and band simply works for me, despite my issues with other padded bras. I find the padding is not super thick, more like a light foam lining. It is definitely not as flexible as an unlined bra, but certainly not as thick as to cause fit issues or to feel like uncomfortable armor. I would say the padding is on par with the Deco as far as thickness and stiffness go. The wires are the perfect width and the straps and armpit edge of the cup are shaped nicely so as not to cut in. And as this is the plunge version of the Charlotte, the gore comes up to a nice height for low-cut shirts. Considering how low- and wide-set my boobs are, I get pretty good uplift and some modest cleavage. I know some people claim that Parfait bras run small, particularly in the band, I didn't really find this to be the case. I would say it is about as tight as my 32F Cleo Lucy - I find the band and cup volume to be rather comparable. They are both firm bands that I would place it between a 32 and 30, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend sizing up.

Overall, I'm super pleased with this bra and am glad to have another mainstay in my wardrobe.
