I love this bra!

The band is too tight to start with, but I find my ribcage is an awkward size for Panache/Masquerade bras: the 30 bands are tight enough that I want an extender for the first few wears, but the 32 have me on the middle and final hooks far too quickly. So I opt for the 30, because the rest of the bra (cup height, wire height etc) fits better.

The band has 3 hooks -- bliss! And quite high wings, which successfully grab everything from under my arms and push it forward. It still looks wide from the front, but for a UK half-cup it's delightfully narrow. Even better, it has enough immediate projection to make my boobs happy, and is lovely and open on top, giving support and soft hills/regency cleavage at the same time. Gives a rounded, forward but slightly minimised shape. This could well become my go-to bra for low-cut tops.

Straps are only partly adjustable. The top edge of the cup is quite thick/rounded, so it might show under clingy fabrics.

I'm devastated that this bra is discontinued. Why do I always find bras that fit only to discover they no longer exist?
