I'm about to give up on Panache and Superbra brands. The fit of my latests, Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675), is a lot like the Panache Elsa (6691) . Very pretty, cups fit really well in the 28HH, but both the 30HH and the 28HH left deep seam marks in my breasts at the end of the day. And the stupid wires... why are they so big!? I need a narrower wire that doesn't go onto my back. The wires dig in in the right-fitting band and cut off the feeling from my arms.
So... now it's time to try some other things. I really want the Cleo to work. I have a Cleo Meg in 30HH coming on accident which I like the look of so much I might alter; and I have a Cleo Lilly in 28HH that I have yet to try on today. I have a feeling that all but the Meg will go back. The wires are just too wide. This makes me sad, I've sized out of most of Freya, Panache isn't working. So it's on to Curvy Kate who makes me angry for their stance on surgery of any type, followed by Ewa Michalak and Comexim, which I'm a little intimidated by because of the language barrier but a friend tells me it's not a big deal. I hear they have narrower wires. I don't think of myself as someone with a narrow breast root, but I guess for an HH/J/whatever cup, they're narrow.

Technically you're not sized out of Freya, just their half cups. Cleo is definitely narrower than Panache, so that might work out (they also run larger in my opinion). Bravissimo's non-half cups also have narrower wires. Miss Mandalay also has narrower wires.
Thanks, Jillsas.
I probably should have been more clear. I'm not entirely sized out of Freya, but I want some stuff I can wear under v-necks, and nothing that I could probably fit in appeals to me right now. (Like the Piper, very pretty in G and below, not so much in GG and up).
Thanks for the info on Miss Mandalay! It was a brand I found out about just today (minutes after writing the post). I'm rather new to this whole bras that fit thing and feel like I'm really pitching fits about fit when I wore a bra that didn't fit my whole life before... but you know, when you find out you may find some that fit, it's like a quest! (and by quest, I mean all-consuming obsession!) LOL.
