I love love love this bra BUT goddamn, it's pointy!
It fits almost perfectly, just the tiniest amount of wrinkling in the nipple area, but only when I'm not standing straight up. It's just super pointy.
The side support paneling is super, comforting? Same with the tightness of the band. It's hard to describe how amazing this bra feels. Putting it on was almost like a relief! I love the color and the fabric is PERFECT. Seriously, I don't want to take it off. Ever.
ARGH! Why is it sooooo pointy? I am so torn on this bra. I LOVE IT, but I don't like how pointy it is. I tried it with a bunch of t-shirts and just can't do it. I don't mind regular pointy, but this is like WHOA pointy. It's also juuuust too small for me to add some nipple covers to try and even it out.
I guess I could try it in 28FF? Not sure though.

This bra is not owned any more

• I think it looks really good on you. Scrumptious colourway. As for pointy? Nahhhh. Just your imagination. I have this same bra in a 40F and I love *love* *LOVE* it. I agree, it is very comfortable and supportive. I do think the band runs tight. Sadly, I'm starting to quad out, and a 40 band is now too big for me. I've been looking into replacing it with the plunge version, with appropriate cup- and band- size adjustments.

  But then again, if I could find a Triumph Doreen Non-wired Bra at a good price, I'd buy it without a second thought.

• It's absolutely my favorite color and I'm really kinda sad about the bra.. Even if the pointiness is in my head, it's still there and would bother me wearing it in public.
  I'm still thinking about keeping the bra, but it's $37 and that's expensive for me for a bra. I'm planning on trying it tomorrow with more flowy tops and forcing nipple covers in there.. but I'm not holding out much hope.

• Yea, I get that. Money's money, and when you're spending hard-earned money, you'd better be very happy with what you've bought. If I were you, I'd not even try making it work. You'll always feel uncomfortable with it, just *knowing* it's pointy, even if you can somehow obscure that.

  Too many times I've fallen into that same trap, and eventually I'd stop wearing or using whatever it was.

  Didn't they discontinue the andorra plunge version? I only have the balconette/full cup style, in a couple of colors.

  That said, this bra in 32FF gives me a more 'natural' shaped silhouette rather than the very rounded modern t-shirt bra shape that has been popular for a while now. However, I prefer the 'natural' shaping given that's the appearance my boobs tend to take on in shape when left to their own devices. If I ever run into a person who has an issue with this sort of shape doesn't have to look at my boobs! ;)

  Maybe they did discontinue it. I've seen them around, though. I'm with you about shape. I am completely over the round mound boobs look. That's why I *love* unlined/unpadded bras, because of the more natural shaping and the ability of the breast to move, and to show the movement.

  I think that boobies in all their many shapes and sizes should be accepted. We get but one life and the body we showed up in is what we have to work with, why not embrace the beauty of differences instead of trying to conform everyone to a particular standard. If I had a Tardis, I'd go back and prevent whoever decided that all boobs should be conformed into the t-shirt bra shape from actually making it happen. And then I'd eliminate Hitler, before doing a bunch of other stuff.

• From my experience (but I've read it elsewhere too) the shape could get somewhat rounder if you size up one cup from your usual Panache size. I didn't get along with the side slings but shapewise the one cup up worked out for me.
  Certainly it would be easier to fit in the nipple covers in a higher size. But before you go for this option I would consider if more cup width would be OK for you fitwise.

• I added photos of me wearing nipple covers in the bra in a thick sweater. Wearing them helped but I still feel like I'm perpetually showing off headlights, even though I'm not.
  I am going to look into a higher size for the full cup option, but the cup width is perfect in this size, so I'm not 100% sold on the idea. (Unless there are free returns) I've also decided to grab a Plunge version because I was told that cut is slightly more round and if it's discontinued I gotta try it while I can find my size!
  I usually like the more natural look for breasts, but this doesn't look natural to me, it looks forced. I'll keep an eye on this size on amazon too in case the price goes down considerably, then I might snatch it up and wear it on lazy days.
