Panache Clara
Just wondering if anyone has seen/tried this bra in person?
Is the strap really more center pull in location?
I only noticed it because on Figleaves, the same model is in the Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675) and the cup construction looks different. (Link: http://www.figleaves.com/us/set_product.asp?product=Panache-Andorra-Full-Cup-Bra-Set&product_id=PA-5675&colour=Reds)
Is this a new model? (tag doesn't work right now and the model number is higher than Andorra)
Has Panache listened to its customers and created a bra with straps that are more close-set?
It's also cheaper (!) than Andorra and is listed at $47 at Figleaves.
Should I be doing a happy dance?
(ETA The strap looks like some of the "helper strap" constructions by bratabasers whose names escape me right now. Holy...!)

It depends a lot on shape. I think the need for center-pull straps most common in women with narrow breasts with a lot of forward projection. If you have wide breasts, wide-set straps are going to give you good support because they're close to your breast's center of gravity. If you have narrow breasts, wide-straps may end up over an area where you have little or no breast tissue and no matter how much you tighten them, you won't get any lift. As for this bra, I still think the strap is going to be positioned poorly for the narrowest among us. Even with the wide anchor, I think it wouldn't give enough support for the inner quadrants for breasts like mine. It may be awesome for some women though, so I'd wait for some feedback from those who've tried it.
Oh my goodness! It's so pretty!
Ahem
Tbh I'd love to try out that sort of strap- it looks comfy, but combined with panaches super wide wires I might have to give it a miss (crys slightly)
