I got this bra from Sonya - thank you!
This is my second bra in this size and it's the black colourway. I sort of spoiled the surprise for myself by snatching the magenta one up on sale. While they both are a great fit (best so far, along with my 30FF - Panache » Loretta Plunge (6686) ) this colour, while measuring tighter, feels the perfect amount of snug. The wires rode down after an hour or so and threw everything out of alignment, but I hiked it back up and felt comfortable again.
This is still being made as far as I know which is good news since the Loretta is discontinued. It seems to be out of stock in my size almost everywhere but it might just be about to release a new season.
I noticed in the pictures that the lace on the band wants to flip up, so I guess I'll just let it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Both colours fit exactly the same in the cup - laying flat across the top, enough projection, extra space in the bottom and sides, gapping in the straps when I slouch. This one is a little easier to move in, but that might be I hiked it back up when it slid down whereas when the magenta one slid down I reacted with confusion and eventually changed.
All in all Panache has been a series of wins for now - could be I find something without these small issues farther down the road but quite happy and comfy https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> not a sleep bra by any means but a sexy, natural-looking everyday bra. Hopefully they'll last a long time, and when my size is back in stock for a decent price I am hoping to get a pearl or nude-to-beige colour.

• I'm so glad it fits. It looks great on you!

• It looks good but maybe something about the side view like you said. I’m wondering if it’s either too closed off on top or if you need a bit more room in the cups. I’m leaning towards taller roots. Maybe post a fit check?

  Thanks Sonya!!
  Calluna I just might! I could use some help.

  Tall roots. To me it looks like your roots are going up toward your collar bone. If you pick your boobs up and hold them up do you have any kind of distinct line? Short roots kind of look like a lower case b from the side.

  Sovavosi wow I had no idea, but looking at them now I can see what you mean. I have a lot of, how do I say it politely, extra skin :D when I pick up my right boob especially it's a pancake, and folds pretty much where the lace in the picture cuts me off. I've had such bad self esteem throughout my teens and 20s (had to delete my rambling here) but something about nicer fitting bras is really helping me start my 30-mumbles the right way.
  So might be sagging convinced me there was less boob than there was..

  Does this picture help at all?

  Actually it does. Earlier when I was on reddit I glanced at this but after a closer look I can see the line on the tall root goes all the way up the ribcage. That looks like mine.

  Welcome to the Tall Roots team! :D I'm glad you're happy with the bra but Ive had same issue with Andorra and personally decided never to have one as there are other that fits me better!
  Im similar size to you - 30FF/32E-F. if you would like some recommendations on which bras works better with tall roots feel free to message me :)

• Cute one ! Deliciously retro shape and upper lace trim. A bit reminescent of how balconettes used to look back then.

  As for lastng, a gentle wash every second day should take care of sweat deposits which have the reputation to damage elastc fabrics.

• I really liked the Andorra, I found them to be pretty and comfortable! If you decide you want more keep an eye on eBay! I have tall roots too, your pictures look like you do.

• Haha, thanks :) femineaaeterna I never knew that's why you hand-wash, I'll do that more often now! I do like the shape. martka00 lol I've already messaged you questions ! veggiechic I might just buy a few more as soon as I see white/pearl/pink/nude on ebay/amazon/here for under $25. No clue why amazon has some sizes $15 and some $200.
  I found that yesterday I was switching back and forth between the two bras because the wires are different kinds of firm. Suppose that is because they haven't been broken in.

• namedoesntmatter really? :D cannot remember hahah!

• martka00 lol I meant today! whoops!

• namedoesntmatter i did not get anything yet :-)
