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?

Omg I love his bra so much! I probably should have ordered a cup size bigger and maybe a band size bigger too. It runs small. I ordered this one in a 32h and it doesn't quite sit flat on the sternum and I quad out of it a bit. However it gives my boobs the nicest shape ever! And I love it so much! But seriously though, order it a size bigger. Next time I will get 34h

Initially, I thought this would be too shallow, but I shoved the cups up and they generally stayed put (although I can see in the photo that it has pushed down a bit on my smaller side - this seems to happen more on this side than the larger). I have definite quadding at the top, and I'm wondering if a cup size would be too big in the bottom of the cup. This seems to be a common problem - with a lot of my bras right now (Juna, Marcie) - if it fits in the bottom of the cup than there's not enough room at the ... top.

I'm slowly learning that I need a bra with closely set cups, a low gore, at least a little depth, and now apparently one that's open on top, or at least with room in the center top of the cup (and I think a medium-wide underwire, but I'm not 100% on that). I've been living in my 32H Marvels (bending the wires gave it a much less shallow fit in the bottom of the cup than it initially had), but now I'm starting to come over the top inner edge of those.

This bra is just not for me. It's too shallow and far too tight for my ribcage. The bra is sexy as hell and I wish it would fit, but sadly it's not my friend.

Very pretty, but very very shallow. Probably more along the lines of a 32G.

Fits alright, just not my styles.

I ordered the Parfait by Affinitas Charlotte a little over a year ago but resold it because it was just a smidge too small and I was sized out. I did love it though- a nice deep red, bold stripes, ...

This is the bra I have been searching for. The shape is exactly what I want and this bra provides the best support ever (excluding my panache sports bra). The wires are also pretty perfect as well. Nice and narrow. Not as narrow as Comexim, but I'd say it is about on par with Ewa Michalak.

My only problem with this bra is that the cup size is at least one size too small for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Possibly two. I am definitely going to purchase this bra again in a new cup size though because it is truly wonderful. Perfect and comfortable.

I also love the four rows of hooks and the lovely fabric.
