I got this along with the same style in a 30FF for comparison. The 30FF was just a slightly better fit. This one was just a bit too small on the outside, but would have worked just fine. I seriously debated keeping both sizes, but I have too many others on my wish list right nowhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.
I've also tried this is 32F and 30FF, so those reviews are available as well. The deep plunge of this is not the best fit for me. The bra is very pretty and soft, an excellent t-shirt bra I think. The 30F and 30FF fit similar, but the 30F has 2 hooks and the 30FF has 3, which gives the feel of a bit more support. The cup in the 30F. Gave me just the slightest bit of a quad boob appearance, and a feel like I may fall out.
I've now tried this bra in 32F, 30F, and 30FF. The 32F was definitely too big. The 30F somewhat too small, and just to make sure I tried the 30FF too. The cups were again too big, but the bad had a good fit. There's a lot of stretch in the straps, which is nice. I think this style is just not a good fit for me, though I wish it was. It's a pretty bra, very soft. It's a little thicker, not padded, but a think moulded bra that would be great for t-shirts or low necklines if it were a proper fit.
Band fits great (a bit small for a 30) bottom of cups fits great, the lace on top expects me to have lots of breast tissue to fill it, but I don't. A bit snug for a 30- would also fit someone who wears 28 F/FF really well.
This review is for the Charlotte in 32FF in the peach color. I ordered both the red and the peach at the same time and from the same place. I don't know if this was an anomaly, a mis-labeled bra, or what happened. While the red is pretty much a perfect fit for me, the peach is definitely not. The cups were just a bit larger, the band a bit larger. The color is so pretty, a very soft peach with the black detailing that really pops on this. I will be sending this one back, though I'm undecided about an exchange for the same, or get something totally different. I don't have the exact measurements in front of me right this second, but there was a difference between the two, so again I don't know what happened since the size was supposed to be the same. I wanted to love this one as much as the red, but it just didn't fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
A pretty bra, I think if it fit it would be a great bra for low-cut tops. The band was a bit loose, but not horribly so. It was comfortable, but with stretching I'm sure it would be loose very soon. I will be returning it and possibly exchanging for a better size shortly.
This bra is just gorgeous, and I love the peek-a-boo effect that comes from the sheer part of the cup. Still, I probably won't be pairing this with any thin or light colored shirts because of the see through factor. The shape is very natural and rounded. In profile, the uplift is good but not sky high. The bra is incredibly comfortable as well and I didn't have to push or pull myself in any direction in order to fit into the cups. One thing of note is that this fits tight for a 30 band (like the rest of my Parfait bras), but I still had it fastened on the middle hook because I'm more of a 28 band. Overall, though, this is the first non-molded bra that I'm completely satisfied with.
This bra is a much better fit than the 30FF I tried. It's a very basic nude t-shirt bra so there's not too much to say about its looks. The colour is a true nude, so it should go with everything. I generally have a problem with filling the tops of moulded bras but I don't have a problem with this one. The fabric on the cups feel very soft and comfortable on the skin. It gives a very rounded shape and when I tried on a t-shirt over it, I thought it made my boobs look a bit bigger, although I think ...that may be because of the roundness.
Cons: I think the cup fabric is prone to runs if you're not careful. This one came with 5 (small ones) out of the box, 2 are obvious and the others are not. I'm not sure if it's because of the material itself or if this happens with all moulded bras. Does anyone know?
I don't like the way the straps look attached to the cups. In other bras I have, the cup is folded over so there isn't a raw edge, but this one is just cut across so it's less elegant. I think at least a bow to cover it up would be nice if the foam is too thick to fold over.
Other than my two complaints, I think it's a pretty good, functional bra at a good price point so I would recommend it. I'm giving the "quality" rating an "ok" because of the cup fabric, but the bra itself feels sturdy. Read more 165 more words
Another one that I'd love to have, but doesn't really fit. I'll keep it anyway because it is cute and will work under most clothes. It runs tight in the band like most of this brand, but not as tight as a few other styles. It has a similar style to many others, a three part cup. The seems are pretty light and do not show as much. I like the pattern on the cup, but it does show through some clothes.
This is not what I'd call a daily wear bra. It is definitely for a night in. The bottom half of the bra is lightly padded with the top being lace. The front of the straps are two narrow straps that join to one thicker back strap. In the center front there is a little hanging crystal ball. It's a gorgeous dark jewel toned blue.
The band is the normal tight band, more like a 28 then a 30. The cup is too small for me, the center gore pulls out. Because it is a half cup style, there is definitely a chance for nipple slips. Because of that I cannot wear this bra out.
This is a nice smooth cup bra, nothing added but a small heart detail in the center. It makes me think of the Deco, which unfortunately I do not own (I'm sized out). This is a 30 that runs more like a 28, definitely normal in Parfait By Affinitas bras. The band is slightly too large for me, cups too small. This would be great for a T-shirt bra, so even though it is too small it may find a place in my collection. Again, I wish they would take their bras up past the G range.
This bra is a great simple smooth cup bra with molded cups. It has some nice detail lace on the sides and bottoms of the cups. The band is larger than normal for Parfait by Affinitas bras which usually run tight. I'd say that this runs like a normal 30 band would. The band is definitely much too large. I don't do as well in a molded cup, but this on is ok. I need something that smooths to the breast instead of needing the breast to conform to it. The lace isn't too thick, but it may show through some shirts.
This is a very pretty bra. I love the design of it. My breasts do better in a mesh type bra like this one. It is too small unfortunately, but I'd buy another if it came in a 30GG. Just like many other bras in the Parfait By Affinitas line, this bra runs small in the band. This is great for someone like me that needs a 28. If you don't like a tight band you may need to order up a band size. The cup runs the same as my other Gs in this line. I'll be posting those soon. ... Even though it is small I am wearing it for the first time today. So an update to come later with band stretch etc.
So after a day of wear, the band is still nice and tight fitting, not stretch. But it is definitely too small in the cups. The mesh cup has pretty detailing that left marks all over my chest. The straps stay in place, no sliding or slipping. I love the bra, but unfortunately it is too small. Read more 86 more words
I actually only tried this bra on in the store, so no measurements. But it definitely fit me in the ribcage and really almost fit in the cups! I am SO sad that it doesn't go into a GG, because that's what I truly needed.
Wow! That was very brave :D, thank you for teaching the system wrong :)
I generally try bras based on the measurements rather than recommendations, but in this case when I saw the recommendation and the measurements, I thought it could work. It didn't, but it was worth a shot. :)
Ok, so I originally got this in a 30F and felt that it was borderline too small in the cup. It didn't cut into the breast tissue, though, so I kept it... but it never sat flat at the sternum either. Because of this, I now realize, is why my boobs would often fall forward in the bra when I bent over. I thought it was just because of the really low plunge but over time, it felt like I was constantly having to adjust myself, so I went ahead and got the 30FF since I really do love the bra.
With this one, I could immediately tell ...the difference. It just felt better, in my opinion. I was fully secure, and the 30FF also felt more stable since it has 3 hooks instead of 2. I don't like that it has thicker straps, though, than the 30F, but I can live with that. The bra still gives me a perfectly rounded shape, nice lift, and the perfect amount of cleavage. I'm glad that I finally got around to buying another one. =) Read more 75 more words
Band size seems to be a little tight for a 30, but I like it that way. It's a very deep plunge, and while this creates very nice cleavage, I fall forward a little in the cups after bending over. Still, the bra gives a great shape--very high and rounded.
My current favorite bra. This bra is cute, but basic. The seams are thin so it is possible to wear this under some shirts. The band does not stretch after a days wear. Very comfortable.
I hate when bras the same size fit different!
