I can't really comment too much on the fit. It's way too big in the cup. I usually wear a 30E in Cleo. Nicely made. Soft fabric. Wires fit the channels. Thick straps. Wish it fit.

The type of bra that made me think 30DD would be too big. I lack the upper fullness and upper projection for this. The gore is a bit high and gets uncomfortable. The sides might be slightly narrow but hardly noticeable. the height of the wires is ok.

I really love this bra. Bought the Aurora colourway last week and it fit so fantastically that I had to buy another. While I don't like white lingerie, the background colour on this is more ecru and the colourful floral just works. The white/floral fits a bit bigger than the Aurora, which doesn't surprise me because dark dye tends to inhibit fabric ease (and results in a snugger fit). If I could change one thing about this bra it would be to make the upper cup just a smidge less open on my less full side but if I went down a size, I suspect I'd be pillowing ... slightly on the fuller side. It's not observable under clothing - or even when clothing isn't on if the smaller size is well positioned in the cup. It's a challenge I can live with.
Have to say, as I have staunchly avoided all Panaches (including Cleo) for quite some time now because the firm wires and tight bands are just painful (even with an extender). But the Floris is unlike the other Panaches I've tried (Jasmine, Envy, pretty well every Cleo etc.) It's actually SUPER comfortable, even after a long day. The band is comfortable, the wires (while very firm) are totally pleasant. The gore doesn't dig, but tacks. Really, though, this shape is perfect for my highly projected breasts. The boobs are front and centre, totally lifted and incredibly supported. If you're on the fence, try this bra. Note, though: The band is snug for size and the cups are very projected.

This bra is quite lovely in a sort of outerspace / galaxy way. The lace is gorgeous. The navy power mesh band is seriously firm. Size up. The cups are pretty deep and the construction is very uplifting. Great looking bra. Just hope it proves to be comfortable because I find Panache wires can be seriously painful

I thought this bra was great, however the cup is too big.

This is my first non-moulded bra that fits, and I love it! This bra is very forgiving in terms of size; I really could use a 30GG but the 30G looks great still. I have this in the aurora colorway. It's absolutely gorgeous, and doesn't show through most dark shirts. The cups are deep and wires are fairly narrow, which isn't really my preference but it helps to give a projected shape. The mesh on the top of the cups doesn't stretch like lace does, which I was worried about because I thought it would make my full on top shape quadboob. Even though this is about a ... cup size smaller than I'd prefer, by some sort of magic I don't quadboob hardly at all! The bra is very supportive, firm fabric, and gives a fairly round uplifted shape (ever, ever so slightly pointy but not in an unflattering way). It's comfortable and doesn't move around throughout the day. I wore this for 16 hours at Disneyland, moving around a lot, and it wasn't bothering me by the end of the day. My only complaint is the high center gore, which pokes/itches a tiny bit between my close set breasts, but it's not particularly bothersome. Overall, a gorgeous, supportive, comfortable bra!

Really pretty bra but I'm realising tall gores and balconettes generally are just not my friend. This bra is too full on the top for me and I don't have enough upper tissue to fill it out completely. It's not an awful fit though and the slight looseness on top is not noticeable under clothing - in fact the bra does give a very round and uplifted profile indeed so actually looks great under a top. And I fill out the bottom perfectly so it's the right size. But the gore is not ideal as I'm just aware of it when I wear it and find it slightly irritating. Think a bradrobe overhaul to remove/stop buying tall gore bras is in order!

I give up, the Floris is not for me! I'm usually a 30DD but since that size was not available I first bought a 32D Floris. First of all, the shape was nice, but the band was expectedly loose. The real problem was the cups were just not quite filling up; there was just too much empty space for me to be satisfied with the fit. I exchanged for a cup size down at 30D, but that was a disaster. The band on this one was extremely tight compared to all my other 30 bands, so I added an extender to make it ... a 32C. That more or less solved that problem, but the cups were awfully quadboobing, squeezing what it could into a super pointy bullet shape and the rest overflowing like a muffin top. When I measured the bra for Bratabase, the band came out at 22.5 inches!!! WTF, was there a mistake in the production? Silver lining for 26 and 28 band users, this would totally be great for y'all. I'm sad this was a bust for me, the Aurora colorway was absolutely the most gorgeous bra I've seen in ages.

This bra is so pretty! Unfortunately, it's a tad tight in the band and just a little big in the cup. Seems to be great quality.

Horrible, horrible , horrible fit. The cup fit ugly. It made me uncomfortable to even look at myself in this bra. Which is a shame I love the color combinations. It gave me a cone like effect of my breast, a quadboob where the top is too tight. This bra just looked so bad on me.
