    28GG

    Didn't fit

    This bra was one of the first bras I purchased to gauge how well bras close to this size would fit. I had read up on bra fitting, but I needed to try some different bras on to understand better and see what worked for me. This bra was inexpensive in like new condition and was one that seemed "popular" due to the large amount of reviews on this site/elsewhere. I use to like bras that had padding, but now I prefer Lacey unlined bras.

    When I got this bra, I ended up messing up the strap and tried to fix it for a few weeks. I tried ... to enlist the help of others, trying to twist and untwist it, and thought someone maybe altered the strap legnth or spacing to fit and then sewed it back wrong. I FINALLY found someone who managed to flip it around in a few different ways to straighten it out.

    The bra fit okay cup wise I think, though not exact when I first tried it on. I Have lost weight so by now the cups are a little too big, at least on one side. I believe this bra is too shallow for my more projected breasts. There isn't the massive amount of push up I am use to in my Victoria Secret padded bras, but its thick enough that nothing pokes through,and gives my breasts kind of a round shape. The inside of the cups have some seams that I wasnt use to in my push up/moulded cup Victoria Secret bras. I like the thick straps and the thick band. The tight band felt so relieving and my posture/slumped shoulders looked so much better than when I was wearing band way too big. (Which still amazes me with each new bra I tried with 28 bands. This band was quite comfortable. I like bras that have more than 2 hooks, this has 3 rows of 4 hooks each. It feels sturdy around my underbust. The thick straps also adjust enough for me and do not slide down. The wires feel a bit too wide towards my armpits, I need more narrow wires. The gore is slightly taller than my preference, and has a bow plopped on top which is alright. Having a gore that is too wide and tall pushes the tissues from my my center full breasts back out more east west direction. I Think I need plunge styles or overlapping wires that are more narrow. The cups slightly rubbed in my armpits and the gore dug into my sternum a little when I first tried it on, but a few weeks later it didnt dig as much.

    This purple bra is decent and an improvment on my older bras in a way, but not ptotally right for me. It kind of looks youthful, maybe it's the color, bans the big bow on the gore, it reminds me of the bras I wore as a younger teenager but with more seams inside the cups. I still prefer lace bras, or if I wear thicker bras I would rather hey look a little more mature.Ie

    Though the print is a floral, it more reminds me of rocks under a stream. The outside cups are satin, while the inside is like a soft jersey cotton. This bra, in this print and more recent colour schemes have been compared to polish bras in their fit - fairly narrow wires, immediate projection and all the depth of a good partner (okay, maybe not that deep, but deep for cups) all lead me to agree - it's similar to my Comexims rather than my Ewa Michalak's in the shape it produces as well as the comfort from softer wires and well placed padding. Wide straps that allow comfort. It tends to make me feel like I'm wearing "boob armour" from how full coverage it is with moderate padding, and some days I just love that feeling - especially in winter.

    I really do like this bra. I've owned a few in different colours and sizes in the last couple of years. One thing I will say is that Charlotte's sizing is very consistent. I've found that is true with other Parfait models. Try this bra if you are tall and generally shallow rooted. This bra is very comfortable and the band is stretchy but snug. It is not as firm as a Freya Deco, but the strong elasticity of the band coupled with the 4 row hooks will give you a very stable and secure feeling. I have almost no bounce in this bra.

    See my review of the same bra in 28FF:
    https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnb6e/ 28FF
    https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dnb67/ 28G

    It seems that the construction changes from G to GG. This GG has very thick straps, an entire inch wide. It also has four hooks instead of three. I didn't wear it other than to try it on - it was unnecessarily large all around.

    Cup is too tall that pokes my tail of spence.
    Bottom of the cup is full but the top of the cup has a little gap.
    Band is a little loose.

    Except those factors it is good

    Fits

    Gorgeous! It's one of my favourite bras and I have coveted it for a while...but now I have my hands on it!

    First thing upon getting it out of the package - damn those straps are thick! And four hooks on the back!? Wow. I think there are only three hooks in G cups and below, but I like wide bands, so this is fine for me.

    I usually take a 28G as a starting point in most bras, but I'm very glad that I got the 28GG in this. In fact, I wonder if a 28H mightn't be better. The cups definitely ... run small, and they are a bit closed on top. It looks OK under clothes, but left boob seems to be doing its best to escape.

    It's very well made considering the price, and is soft and comfortable against my skin. The band is snug but not constricting. I am quite a squishy 28, as I'm rather short, so those who have very little squish may wish to size up in the band. I feel like it's a true 28 in the PEACH colourway, can't speak for others.

    I'm of two minds regarding this bra - I really really like it, but I think perhaps a cup size up might be better.

    So. I love this bra. It is super comfy, it's beautiful, and it looks great from the front. I do think it is a little too wideset for my breasts.
    Tried a 28G originally, but the quadboob was so intense that I had to give it up. This is a much better fit.

    I've tried this bra before in 2 other sizes. I tried a 28H which was almost a good fit except a bit of cutting in at the top from certain angles. My biggest gripe about the 28H, however, was how much bra there was. It felt a bit stiff on my torso (and I generally don't have any problems with bras being too tall for my torso length).

    I decided I would size down to a 28GG to reduce the amount of coverage. I hoped that the reduced coverage would be worth the reduced depth and that the reduced depth might actually push my boobs into a "cakes on a plate" look. But alas, no cakes were had when I finally tried it on. Instead, the bra sits quite low on my torso with the cups being too shallow to reach my inframammary. Kept the bra anyway since I like the colour and got the matching panties. Will make a good bedroom set if I ever need :/
