I have wide, even breasts with tall roots.

Disclaimer: I am not nursing and did not buy this bra for that purpose.

Very neat bra! Special features are the hooks for attaching the top of the cup to the straps for nursing, the side panel underneath the cups that keeps the strap in place while the cup is detached, and the extensive 6 columns of eyes to hook the bra together in the back. I believe the additional 3 columns are added to the outside rather than inside, as the bra hooked on the tightest hooks feels like other Panache 30s on the tightest hooks.

This bra does not have underwires. If both cups are detached, the whole thing kind of folds down (see pictures). The gore does not tack due to the fact that it is not underwired.

I think I actually may need a 30D in this bra, as I don't seem to fill out the cups entirely. It makes sense for the cups to be roomy as to allow for swelling of the breasts during lactation. The cups are a nice, soft, cotton, I think.

The weaving of ribbon at the top edge of the cup (and the lattice) is cute, BUT it isn't taught and therefore bunches up in some parts.

The shape the bra gives is not the most attractive, but for nursing mothers, I imagine that it is a reasonable compromise for the functionality of a nursing bra. It would be impossible to really design a good shape without the use of underwired gores.

If you are in need of a nursing bra, this seems like a pretty good bra for a reasonable price. If you are not going to be wearing this for nursing purposes, you may want to try multiple cup sizes. I can update this review if I ever get around to getting a cup size down.

EDIT: right after I listed this, I noticed some very light blueish discoloration on the left cup? I'm not sure if it is a stain or something that will come out easily with washing, but I've still knocked the price down a few dollars.

This bra is not owned any more
