This bra is just kind of a temporary compromise for me, it's getting pretty clear that I will probably have to customize a bra from a company with the most narrow possible wires, like @EwaMichalak or @Comexim, for a overall perfect fit. However, that takes time and I needed something to wear right now. The wires on the panache @Andorra are definitely too wide and too tall for my short torso and small ribcage. I have zero sideboob, so most bra manufacturers are not catering to my body type.

The main annoyance I have with Andorra is that the fabric near the base of the straps in front comes up too high and chafes near my armpits. This is painful after a full day of wearing, so I prefer not to wear this bra more than 3-4 hours. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this issue until I had worn it awhile, and not when I was trying on. The actual wires and wing height are not jabbing at anything on the side. I have at least a good inch or two of empty space at the sides where the wires curve way too far on my sides. The very tall gore wire height is mostly okay as long as I'm standing and walking - but does start jabbing and chafing at the top if I'm bent over or sitting a lot. I definitely do not need this height of wire, since I have narrow roots, and shorter wires would be more comfortable.

On the plus side, the straps don't fall off my shoulders, although more inset straps might be preferable. The cup design is great for my shape, covers everything well and looks good under clothing, perky and uplifted. Nothing is being flattened down at all. Since there is almost a 3 cup difference between my two breasts, one cup is a little empty but acceptable, didn't need alterations. This kind of stretch lace cup is definitely the most flattering and best type of bra for me, I've been preferring this type for several years now. It's the only kind that's giving me the very high amount of depth I need for my very projected breasts. The fabric is a little rougher than I would like, but not as scratchy as I've ever tried. The lace is a little softer than on the Panache Envy. This is a very nice bra, it's just not sized right for my petite body. It might work better on someone tall with my bra size.
