I can see why this is such a popular bra. It is comfortable to wear. I did not find the seams to be obnoxious under a t-shirt that is pretty tight across the bust. It would be great for wearing to work in basically any field where you're keeping the girls even semi-modestly covered in a wide range of work attire, because the only things I can think of it not working well with would be something with large arm holes or very large necklines, and sheer or thin fabrics that most people would wear another layer under or wear somewhere other than work.

At the time that I purchased this bra, I had been wearing a 38 band & equiv. FF cup, assuming both were only one size too big, so I sized down once. I used online size calculators and my own measurements as a guide, but got "size shock" at the 34G result, thinking no way I was a 34. The first order of bras got here. I am, in fact, a 34.

The only cons for me that weren't due to my own sizing error are the direction it put my gals going. This bra isn't the worst at it of the ones I've tried this week, but it did give them a bit of an east-west look. My personal preference is more front and center, so this lost my vote here. It's noticeable in the picture, they kind of look like two eggs leaning on each other at the top, going outward from one another at the bottom. It isn't noticeable in a shirt I don't think, but how they look without clothes is pretty important for *me.*

No wires were poking me in either the arms or the sternum. It gives ample boob coverage without the cup seeming like it goes nearly to the shoulder, like in the smoother moulded t-shirt "balconnette" bras I have tried. I doubt it could be worn with a sleeveless shirt but, I didn't try so don't take my word for it.

I did end up returning this bra because it turned out to be the wrong band size - my fault not Panache's. Judging by how it fit I would guess it was pretty true to size for a 36 though. I can see why this is such a popular bra. I do think that I could have sister sized down and a 34G would have fit. But while the fabric feel and the overall comfort were pros, I'm not a fan of the actual print & aesthetic look of this particular bra and I opted to exchange for a totally different bra altogether as the retailer I used has a large inventory so I looked around.

This bra is not owned any more
