    36G

    Didn't fit

    I bought this bra because it was on clearance and the only one above a DD. The cups are too small and the straps are always sliding down. If it came in a larger cup size, I think it might be a better fit.

    This bra is very difficult to get used to! It took me awhile to break in, and even after breaking it in the straps are too wide and cut in to my armpits. As with other Parfait by Affinitas bras I have, this bra makes me feel and look bigger than I actually am.

    30G

    Hasn't set fit

    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.

    My breasts are kind of conical shaped and this bra kind of emphasizes that shape. The band is too tight for me and leaves long lasting red marks.

    32DD

    Didn't fit

    Tried out this 32DD Charlotte Balconet bra after having success with the plunge style. I love the deep purple color and black contrast on this. The band felt very snug on this, similar to my 32DD Charlotte plunge, but was not uncomfortable. The fit on this bra was pretty good. I only got a slight quadboob effect on my larger side, but it was very minimal. The straps on this are very wide, wider than I'm used to. They are also the widest set straps of any bra that I've tried on so far. They don't fall off of my shoulders, though. The gore tacked and the top edge of the cup followed along the top edge of my breasts without any gaping. I will be returning this bra, however, as I also tried on the 32E in this bra and like the fit better. I also have a review on the 32E, if anyone needs to compare measurements between the two.

    Definitely the most cleavage-y bra I own. Love the styling. I don't normally do padded cups but like this one. There is a little bit of wrinkling in the satiny fabric as the bra ages but it still looks quite nice. I have wide shoulders so wide set straps make me happy. I do dislike the bows where the straps connect, they can be a bit irritating. Will be time to size down in the band when this one gives up on me, but I would happily buy again.

    30F

    Fits

    I'm in between cup sizes 30F/30FF (28FF/28G) because left breast is bigger than right, but this bra feels right in between the 2. Fits great actually. The only downside is that the balconet bra strap style tends to be too close to my armpit and feels weird when I bend my arms inwards...

    34FF

    Didn't fit

    This is a review of the peach/black colorway, which I can confirm runs about a cup-size too small. I got it in 34FF when I was still a 34F...however, I've recently moved up to 34FF, so this probably needs to be a 34G.

    I'm sort of conflicted about this bra. On one hand, the wires are pretty damn narrow - only a half-inch off, on the outside. The bra generally stays in my inframammary fold, so I think it must have enough room for my immediate projection. It matches my shape pretty well - no weird distortion, no directional splaying.

    On the other hand...It sort ... of hurts my breasts. It feels as though the band is too tight, but I know it's a cup volume issue, either because I moved up a cup-size even when I bought this, or because the bra cups are too shallow and they're shoving the root up. *shrugs* I'm just not an expert fitter. Either way, I'm going to try this again in the ice-blue colorway coming out next spring, and see if it's fits better in that.

    Last note: It's a pretty champagne color...or it would be pretty if it was on a tan person. This is basically a nude for me, and thus less attractive.

    Due to bloating, I believe, I'm having problems with this one at the cups at the moment.
