My shape: tallish, widish, splayed roots, very close set at the top; evenly full top and bottom; slightly center full; pendulous; need a good bit of depth at the wire. Best fits are Panache 34G/36FF.
I sized up in the band and sized down an extra cup size because of my previous experience with Ava.
This one thing eclipses everything else about this bra for me: the wires are so darn narrow! At 5.3" wide they are the narrowest of any bra I have tried to date. That's not a good thing for me, not at all. I cannot get all of my tissue into the ... cups. It's possible I need a larger size cup in this style as the gore, sides, and cup height are all a little bit low compared to what I usually wear. I'm not sure if 80H will work though because while the wires are pretty firm and almost tack at the gore, the band seems likes it's made for a more V-shaped torso. It's quite snug along the bottom elastic but the wires don't hug my sides at the top. There are only 2 hooks spaced 1cm apart and the back is pretty skinny at the closure, so that could be part of it. Of course all the above things that are disadvantages for me may work better for you!
I love the simple yet not plain design of this and the play of the name "Honey." Not only is it a honey color, but the embroidery of the upper cups is in the shape of a honeycomb. I like the texture of the fabric covering the cups too. It's soft but may not be very durable. Just in handling the bra to photograph it I noticed 2 tiny pulls on one cup. One would have to be very careful storing and washing it. The tops of the cups don't cut in a whole lot even in a too-small size so I think this would be OK for FOT shapes or tall roots. There seems to be good depth at the wire and enough room near the gore for center fullness.
Altogether Honey is well-made of soft materials and very pretty. If you are close to the top of the range for your band size sister size up.

I had the same experience with wires in the SS5 cut - very narrow. But in my case it turned out to be a great fit. It was Martha, I have reviewed it some time ago. I was surprised but very pleased. And I think that it is very likely that you need to size up in the cups as I got more coverage in my size (but I am also very petite so this might be the main reason). I like this honey pattern too, looks nice :)
