The backlog continues...

Tried this beauty on when I was visiting a friend in Vancouver this past spring. My husband had to go over to record a podcast, so I tagged along and spent the afternoon with my friend. Among things, I tried a bunch of bras and this one was one of the better ones.

It's very beautiful and I love the colour and lace details on the straps. At the time, I had felt like it might not have had enough projection at the wire, but looking at the pictures, it seems like maybe it's more projected than I had thought. I feel like I the gore was low enough, and my soft tissue was contained fairly well.

I had some puffing in the 30E but the 30F was better. The band felt fine, especially after trying some really tight 30s.

If I ever saw this one at a really good price, I would probably try to grab it. This could be the bra for off the shoulders tops...https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

This bra is amazing. Plenty of immediate and centre projection in the cup, gore tacks but doesn't dig, the cups are entirely* stretch lace so fit a variety of shapes happily, they also have a peach coloured mesh backing so they're not too sheer (although might look a bit strange if light peach isn't a nude for you). Wires generally stay in my IMF, which isn't a small feat for me! The material itself feels lovely on the cups and the band, the size tag is a tiny bit annoying as it's quite thick. The Petrol colour is also lovely, a subtle navy that's a bit warmer than ... the photos.
(ETA: Not entirely, but more forgiving than most Panache bras I've tried. Similar to Cleo Blake)

The centre gore is very wide especially at the bottom - this is a perfect shape for me and my splayed breasts, but if yours are close together this will likely be problematic. The shape under clothes is quite natural, a little bit minimised but not too much, and also forward pointy but not ridiculously pushed together. The straps are quite thin, I find them very comfortable but may not be ideal for heavier busts.

The wings on this bra are high - I think it's the boundary point of where they start being problematic for me. The cut of the cups/straps also makes my Tail of Spence quite prominent, this doesn't bother me personally though. The wires are also on the wider side of my comfort zone, I'd say the regular Panache width (narrow-to-average).

Band definitely is TTS, a tiny bit tight on first wear but not to the point of discomfort. I'd be inclined to say the cups run a bit small - I get a smidge of quadding as I'm more FOT, and could probably do with a cup size up but it's not bad enough to bother me. The elastic on the top of the cup isn't tight enough to cause any problems here, fortunately.

Overall, definitely recommend for even fullness, even if centre fullness is an issue.

For reference I'm about a 32FF in Cleo.

I bought this bra in a 32FF and a 34F, as I read the previous line (Masquerade) ran tight in the band. However, I would say this bra runs a little generous in the band and cup. I didn't even try on the 34F, as the 32FF band was plenty stretchy (I could easily fasten it on the second hooks). Only three rows of two hooks, sadly. I always prefer a three hook band.

I do get some gaping, but that's to be expected for a molded cup.

The tops of the cups, where they attach to ... the straps, do cut into my underarms a bit, but not terribly so.

This bra is invisible under a t-shirt.

The lace on the straps and band is very pretty, but it does flip up at the front of the band for me (because of my ribs/stomach/bad posture).

I did notice that the underwires don't match up where they meet the gore, one is shorter than the other. I've never had a bra do this, and I'm certainly surprised to see it on a $79 bra like this one. Not that big of a deal, but a little disappointing quality for the price.

The wire width is perfect, and after wearing it a few hours it did stay in my IMF. I'd say this is a great option for a t-shirt bra for projected and fairly narrow shapes.

I'll be trying this bra in a 30FF and 30G.

Man, was this bra a disappointment! The styling is gorgeous, and I love the simplistic look and clean lines of the bra. The fabric is also incredibly soft, and just the right amount of transparent without screaming, "here's my nipples, world!"

While this technically fits in nearly every aspect (the straps are a bit too short for comfort, but alas these are the trials of someone who's 5'10" with a long torso), but the shape is a bit off. The best way to describe the shape this provides is.....torpedo. If you do a google search of the bra, you can see a few models wearing it, and they ... also get the torpedo shape. I think the top half is a bit too closed off, which forces the top half of the breast to push down, while the bottom half is pushed up from the wires and seam, which results in the odd torpedo. Poor bra is confusing my boobs!

As I said, this is super disappointing, because I otherwise LOVE this bra. The band is comfortable and firm. I don't even mind the 2 hooks, because it doesn't dig in at all, which generally happens when there are only 2 hooks. The fabric is luxurious and soft. The straps, though thin, are padded, and feel great. And I was/still am dying to try the high-waisted brief as part of the set.

I got this for a really good price (nearly half off retail), so I might keep it and hope it'll soften with wear and be less torpedo. But I also have something ridiculous like 30 bras in rotation right now, and the collection continues to grow.

This is the best bra I've found to fit my FOB / immediately projected breasts. All of my bras in the past have had wrinkling by the wire due to my immediate projection and this is no different, though it's minimal (the wrinkling starts ~0.75" from the wire; in other bras, it can be much higher). The straps occasionally slip down but are not often a problem (note that with the lace detail, they are pretty wide). The bra is usually comfortable, but can sometimes cause pain around my ribs after wearing the bra for many hours. The biggest negative: one of the cups has started to curve ... out a bit at the top, so the cup doesn't sit completely flush on my skin. I've only ever handwashed my bras and always store them safely when traveling so I'm not certain why this happened.

BTW: The reason this bra is marked as not fitting is because my boobs have shrunk since purchasing this bra and the cups are now too big on me. I can still wear the bra and it looks fine under clothing, but there is significant space between my breasts and the top of the cups. I assume that if I sized down to a 30F, the bra would fit me just fine.

My shape is low set, slightly pendulous, and short and narrow rooted.

This bra came to me pre-loved but in mint condition from rachaelll (thanks). The colour is dark pink and reminds me of 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Red Wine that I used to own. There is decorative lace along the front of the straps, and along the band to the clasps. The only thing is, the lace on the straps like to fold over on itself, so you have to flatten it (at least I did). The band measures to a true 30" band, but it doesn't feel overly stretchy... ... probably because of the lace that covers the band. The straps adjust long enough on my tall frame, but they are extended all the way out in the back. The shape is lovely and rounded, but obviously too small on me. (I think I had a growth spurt because the last 3 I tried were all too small). I'll save this one for my "low tide" days and for when I lose 5 pounds again. It is very reminiscent of my 30F - Panache » Porcelain Grace Sweetheart Moulded Bra (7371) . The only real difference I could see from measurements was that this ardour cup is shorter by about 0.5cm. It's a molded cup that lays smoothly and looks good under a tee, but it is slightly shallow. I actually think that the panache porcelain grace might be a little bit more projected at the wire, which may be why I can currently wear it without bubbling over (that and the additional height of the cup).

Overall the bra is great quality, great comfort, shallow, and pretty.

This bra is wonderful and impressive on so many levels: wonderfully low wings, silky soft beautiful fabric, and great projection. As other reviewer's said, the band does run large and stretchy. I would encourage anyone in a large cups size to try this. This bra fits me leaps and bounds better than any other molded cup I've tried. Unfortunately, its just a wee bit small on my right side. This isn't super noticeable in pictures, but under shirts the quad boob is clearly visible. I'd try the next size up, but as a g cup is as large as this comes, I'd have to sister size up and alter the band, which seems like too much hassle at this point, and for a $79 bra.

A beautiful bra! Perfect for bridal wear. Thin microfiber, molded, seamless cups and lace around the band. Boning under the arms, trimmed in Satin on the outside of the wire and boning. Gold-tone hardware.

*The band is very firm. Uncomfortably stretched to 32". It began to distort the wires at 31". I suspect it's better suited for a straight torso, not a V shape. (It caused a lot of back chub.
*The top of the cups are fairly open, and I didn't have any quadding anywhere along the top edge.
*The bottom of the cups didn't have enough depth at the wire. I could press a finger's width between the wire ... and my IMF.
*The gore sat nice and flat, snug against my sternum.
*The wires: wide! Tapered the outer angle toward the armpits (not U shaped). Long! Sat on my ribs.
*The straps, well, they're straps. Nothing too exciting about them. 5/8"wide. Flocked on the underneath side.

Bottom line: Another wide and shallow bra, that even though the top of the cups fit perfectly, nothing else did. Therefore, it wasn't good enough to keep.

PS: Ordered through Amazon, it arrived very well protected, with tissue in the cups to hold their shape. Regular bubble wrap packaging was used instead of a box, but it had NO damage to it whatsoever.

short roots, very center full. functionally full on bottom. The bra doesn't come in my usual size of 28GG .
Good sale so I thought I would try it in the 30G. Band is okay. Seems pretty firm and like it won't stretch out too fast.
I fill the cups well and get very good lift. The two issues I have with it is that it comes up too high under my arms and
the top of the gore is too wide and cuts into the of my breasts, so that I have a muffin top over the gore.
Excellent on immediate projects and should be pretty good for most center full breasts. On me though , one wire sits
slightly on one breast. about 2/3s of my breast tissue is from the nipple to the center.

I love this bra. It fits great. One complaint: I get a bit of a conical shape while wearing it. It tends to not bother me though.

I was delightfully surprised to discover that this molded bra actually has enough immediate projection for me! I gave up on molded bras after trying so so many that were too shallow at the bottom, gave charming orange in a glass effect and ballooned at the top with unfilled fabric, or squished me flat into boob-pancakes. I like a lifted, rounded shape, and my girls come straight out of my ribcage like they are on a platter. The Odette delivers the shape, no squish, and no orange in a glass; there is a little unfilled fabric at the top by the straps but not too much. The band ... is comfortably firm and doesn't seem like it will stretch out , the fabric is silky, and the gold animal pattern is woven in (in pix it looks printed on - its not). Construction and fabrics are overall high quality. The straps are very thin & stretchy though, so its a good thing the band and cups are supportive. There is also a little gapping right at the gore, but I do not have center fullness although I am very close-set. At least Odette doesn't cut in there like other molded bras and plunges sometimes do. I can live with the gore gap and it doesn't show under clothes. The inner edge of the cups turns out a little, and that is visible under knits, but I think that is endemic to molded bras; might try to tighten the straps and see if it goes away. All in all: score for a molded bra with enough projection to actually wear!!
Update: sized out of Odette, now I quad in the middle. Sad :/

This is a seriously beautiful bra. Throw in a high level of comfort and it may now be my favorite. Nordstrom.com marked it down to $50.98 USD and I jumped right on it. They have a few sizes left, and the matching panty is still available in small and medium for $25.40.

The color Ink is as dark a blue as it can be without being quite black. I'd call it a blue-black. The hardware and charm are a brassy gold tone, so it's like a navy blazer with brass buttons but ultra feminine without being fussy. This bra is very ... well made. If I'd paid $85 for it I'd think it was worth it, and at $51 it's a steal. I love how the stretch lace is matched symmetrically and the larger roses in the lace are placed on the 4-part cups where they enhance the whole design. All the fabrics are ultra soft. The wires are on the narrower side for Panache but I have no problem scooping all my tissue into the cups and it stays there. Wires are typically Panache firm, not harsh imo but then I'm not bothered by most Panache wires (Envy did poke me a bit).

The only downside to this bra is that it's so soft it loses a bit of support. The narrow straps are very stretchy; combined with the tall sides it means I can't shorten them more to get the girls up higher because then the sides of the cup will cut into my arms. I am happy with my shape wearing this though and as I said it is super-comfortable. The cups have plenty of room for immediate and center projection and the stretch lace is quite accommodating. The band is soft stretch satin with wider elastic at the top and bottom and in fact is quite stretchy. I often need an extender when I wear 34 bands but this is perfect without one.

I see that Quinn will be available in a chocolate colorway this fall. I hope Panache will continue this in more colors. I could really use one in ivory. Are you listening Panache?

My only wish is that this bra was cheaper (I paid $82.00 USD for it) and that it had come out sooner! It's really comfortable - the material is soft, silky, and very forgiving, from the band that doesn't cut into my squish to the stretch lace top of the cups that don't cut into my tissue. Love this bra - I wouldn't have paid $82.00 for it if I didn't. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's CUTE, too! The cut-out is super sexy.
