Comfortable, but creates lines under t-shirts. Does not poke.

I love this bra!
The band is too tight to start with, but I find my ribcage is an awkward size for Panache/Masquerade bras: the 30 bands are tight enough that I want an extender for the first few wears, but the 32 have me on the middle and final hooks far too quickly. So I opt for the 30, because the rest of the bra (cup height, wire height etc) fits better.
The band has 3 hooks -- bliss! And quite high wings, which successfully grab everything from under my arms and push it forward. It still looks wide from the front, but for a UK half-cup it's ... delightfully narrow. Even better, it has enough immediate projection to make my boobs happy, and is lovely and open on top, giving support and soft hills/regency cleavage at the same time. Gives a rounded, forward but slightly minimised shape. This could well become my go-to bra for low-cut tops.
Straps are only partly adjustable. The top edge of the cup is quite thick/rounded, so it might show under clingy fabrics.
I'm devastated that this bra is discontinued. Why do I always find bras that fit only to discover they no longer exist?

I feel like the cup is not carried well in this bra. Like the straps are to far to the sides in stead of more to the center of the bra. I like the look of the bra. The band is quite tight, but I really like that. It is firm, but not to tight.

I've been waiting for the new Antoinette colourway for ages. I love the design of this model and would buy it in every colour!
https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I had Antoinette pistacchio in 28ff, which doesn't fit me anymore, but I kept in memory that the band was very tight and firm. This time I tried my "usual" 30e and I think that this size is the best fit. As I expected, the band is just perfect (my underbust measurement is ~66 cm), I wear it on the first or second hook. My only complaint is about the wings which are extremely high, maybe too high ... for this size, and not very comfortable.
The cup size is standard in my opinion, but the shape it gives is sligthly different from the previous models, they're more closed on the top and give a more natural shape. The center gore is very high, can be problematic for close-set breast.
The straps are unstretchy and made of velvet in front. I definitely prefer stretchy straps because they're much more comfortable. It seems that in the AW2013 model the straps will be changed
