I think this is going to work as an okay everyday bra - the low gore height is comfy for my close-set breasts and the stretch lace is very accommodating on asymmetry. Gives a pretty good lift for a plunge, without my spilling into the centre, and gives a nice rounded, forward shape on me. The band is a bit too tight for me -- I find the underwires sit much better and the cup is a better shape if I add one row of an extender (but a full three rows is far too loose in the band, so I think the snugness is just a breaking-in issue because I'm in between sizes). The wires can get a little uncomfortable towards the end of the day, I think because they're far too wide for me.

Edited to add:
Having now figured out a lot more about my shape, I'm now more confident about assessing fit issues of a bra.

This bra has wide wires and the base of the cup in particular is quite shallow. Those needing immediate projection (eg FOB) may wish to look elsewhere. My breasts push the cup downwards, and I get an empty space at the base of the cups. Thankfully, the cup itself being made of stretch lace means there's never any cutting in at the top, so the bra itself still works admirably well, and is particularly good about coping with asymmetry.

The plunge gore is a godsend for me, as it means my breasts aren't constantly fighting for space with the gore, and oddly the stretch lace cup is cut at just the right angle to hold me in the cups. (Those with very soft tissue or pendulous breasts or loose skin will probably still slide right into the middle, though.)

Altogether, I'm sad the cups are too shallow for me as everything else about the bra works (and Panache do bring it out in such pretty colours...)

This bra is not owned any more
