I bought this bra because it was on sale. I had read a lot of mixed reviews but decided to give it a try anyway because of the low price. Sadly, I was disappointed.
I ordered a cup size bigger after reading that it could run a bit small and considering my previous experience with the Panache Loretta Balcony (6681) This was my mistake because my normal J cup would have been better. There is excess fabric on the cups, both on the top and on the side.
The bra itself is pretty, the colour lovely. It may be a look a bit old fashioned because of the embroidery but I kind of like that. What I didn't like was how much it covers. You have to be careful with the shirts/dresses you pick to wear on top of this bra because the coverage is so full that it might exceed the shirt.
Another problem I had with this bra were the underwires. They are way to wide and long for me. They bother after some hours, especially in the centre, because they dig in my sternum.
The straps are also too long for me. I'd like to be able to adjust them more but I can't because the adjustment area is too short.
The quality of the bra is very good. You can see it's well made. However, the fabric might feel too synthetic at points.
As for the shape it gives, it's okay. My boobs look a bit too wide apart with this bra, but for others that wouldn't be a problem. As someone who prefers plunges, the separation between boobs is not really my cup of tea.
All in all, I think that even if I had this bra in the right cup size, it wouldn't be my type. It's not a bad bra at all, just not my style or the right structure for my boobs.
