    36FF

    Didn't fit

    This bra is very striking and has a lovely vintage feel to it. The front has peach satin side panels on the cups and band, while the cups themselves have contrasting black piping. There is also a large black bow over the center gore. The straps are black and fully adjustable. The band is black beyond a pair of vertical plastic underwires under the armpit which can help reduce side bulge. While lovely, this bra will show through most light-medium weight or light-colored tops.

    The cups of this bra have three-part construction. Only one of the seams is visible from the ... front, since the other is concealed behind the piping. From the inside, the seams form a tilted T shape, giving a very round shape from the outside. I find this bra quite comfortable, even though the fit (and probably the shape) is not perfect for me.

    The band is very firm even when stretched out. Apparently the band and cup for this bra runs small, which works in my favor in the case of the former and against me in the latter. The center gore comes up quite high (3.5 inches) and does not always sit flat against my sternum, partly because the cups are now too small for me.

    The cups are very shallow, meaning after a few wears the cups had developed wrinkles along the bottom that are difficult to get rid of. Furthermore, I frequently get quadraboob due to the difficulty of trying to get my boobs to settle into the very bottom of the cups. I think this style of bra just might not work for me, much as I wish it would!

    Very comfortable. Love the silky soft fabric on the band.

    Trying to find me size and not succeeding! This bra mostly fits, but is a bit tight in the band--probably because it's a longline and I'm too fat for it. Creates a very odd bustline--splayed, flat toward the cleavage with a bit of quadboob. Obviously not the right bra for me, but gorgeous!

    Hasn't set fit

    I was glad I read the reviews on Bratabase & got a 36 instead of my measured 34 because the band is snug on the loosest setting. It fits wonderfully. There are only 2 minor problems I have with it. 1, the embroidery on the outside of it shows through thin blouses but will most likely be fixed with an undershirt. 2, though it has convertible straps they are too short for me to do anything than the classic bra strap.

    After wearing all day:
    The silicone strips on the wings dig in but it doesn't have the strip in the cup area where I think it could have used ... it. When I went to the store I noticed that just the cup area was shifting as I walked so I had to tighten the band even though I feel its tight enough. I guess thats what happens when you think your a 36 and wear a 38 to get a bra that fit and then come to find out I should be wearing a 34. It feels more comfortable now that I've put it on the middle hooks but I have a feeling that when I take it off I'm going to have red marks where the silicone strips are. I might have to buy extra straps so I can make this into a racer back or haulter when needed.

    This bra is so cute and I'm disappointed it doesn't fit. Totally gave me quad boobs! Everything else seems ok. I would need at least 1 to 2 cups larger.

    This review is for the Peach Charlotte. I typically wear a 34FF but knew based on the reviews that the peach Charlotte was small in the band and the cup. I decided to size up. The 36FF fits near perfect with just a smidge of quadboob on my larger breast. I bent in the wire to create more of a narrow shape which helped to make the bra more projected and cured the quad. This is really a stunning bra. Gives a nice rounded shape and puts the girls front and center.

    A beautiful, comfortable bra. I think I'd fit a 36F a bit better, as my breasts don't quite fill the cups, but everything else seems to fit so well that I'm worried to try and exchange it! Very stretchy band. Good for breasts with a wide root.

    Not a good fit for full-on-bottom breasts. I have empty space at the top of the cups. I am new to fitting, so I'm not sure if it's just the shape of the bra or a combination of sizing and bra shape. I have some migrated tissue near my armpits so there is less of a gap at the side. The straps are very wide set on me, so they are hitting right at my arm. I'm sure they will chafe by the end of day, though the straps have a soft stretchy fabric. Cups come up at strap all the way to my armpit/arm crease. Also I think the gore is too high for me as the wires come up onto my breasts in the center (common problem for me). Wire width seems good as well as the wire height in the armpit- I have wide root, close set breasts. Straps are fully adjustable. From my measurements I should be wearing a 34FF but ordered up because of reviews saying these bras ran small in cup and band.

    • I think I should be wearing a 34FF but I ordered up because I read these run small in the band. Maybe I should have ordered 36F? Either way I don't like this shape/style much and will be returning.

    This bra was my first attempt at a bra that actually fit! I found it because of recommendations from this site & HerRoom.com's fitting guides. That being said, it is a very pretty & sexy bra. It's made of soft material and seems to be pretty sturdy and supportive (at least much more so than my other bras!). I thought it had a very nice profile under clothes even some gapping at the top of the cups. The band width was perfect for me, no poking or rubbing. The straps are set a little wide & it should be noted they can only be adjusted halfway because of the (very pretty I will add!) pleating on the front of them.

    Not as much support as I would like. Good for low-cut tops. Gives a nice smooth line with a round shape under shirts. Although I haven't tested it out yet, it seems like this will be a good hot weather bra. The lining seems like it will be breathable.

    UPDATE: After playing around with the shoulder straps for 15 to 20 minutes, I got a better fit so that the band barely rides up. It's definitely smaller than the Panache Eliza band, but not as tight as I feel I like. It is pretty firm and not stretchy though. If I buy this again I would go up ... a cup size. Although I do not have quad boob, the top of the center gore is pushed out slightly. Still better than a 38D, so I will take it. There is virtually no arm pit spillage with this one. The boyfriend I think likes the shape from this one. I would say that as far as the band goes, Parfait is true to size, as I've pretty much been in between a 34 and 36 since age 10. I think the cups may run a bit large, which is good since they only go up to a G!

    Update 2: In order to keep the band from riding up, I've loosened the shoulder straps all the way, to the point where they may slip throughout the day. Since the cup seems to be too small and the band too big, the wires get pushed down below the root of my breast. I feel like I am having some tissue re-migration and the wires may actually be too wide on this. I really want Parfait to work for me, but I just don't see it happening. However, I am going to have to figure out a T-shirt bra and/or a plunge style that will work for me. Summer is coming quick!

    This bra does run tight in the band. I had to use a bra extender to try it on- not sure how much it would loosen up though with a bit of wear. It is a really pretty bra.. but the fit is not quite right. unsure why. I think maybe its a bit wide set for me(?).. I do love it though..
