Very soft, silky fabric on the outside of the cups, feels lovely to touch. The wings are lined with the same material. Good depth and projection for my averagely projected, tallish boobs but I had a bit of quadboobing and would fit better in a 30FF. The lace on the front of the straps is very pretty and not at all scratchy. I found it very comfortable and sometimes forgot I had it on.

The material of this bra is lovely: shiny, soft and comfortable. There's a lot of lace, tough to hide under shirts, a little too much for my taste. The band is nice and wide but super stretchy. However, the main issue for me is the cups: came nowhere close to filling out the top and the edges rubbed into my armpits a little. Cups simply too tall, not something sizing down would have fixed. Otherwise great perky shape. Seems solid and supportive in the cups.

A nice molded bra, very pleasant fabric, beautiful lace along the band and straps. I wish the band was tighter, 26E would be great for me, but undortunately Panache doesn't have such sizes.

The Ardour/Grace is one of the most projected molded bras out there. (The Amor is very shallow - the exact opposite!) While had enough bottom projection for me, and didn't gape at the top, it has a lot of center projection that I cannot fill because I am a little shallower. Shame because this bra is super pretty...

The band felt pretty firm at first, but relaxed after wearing it the first time. I'm new to properly fitting bands, so can't say if it's stretchy enough to merit sizing down.

The wires slide up during the day - I guess it's because the cups aren't projected enough and the band isn't quite tight enough. I tried a 28F, but it was slightly too large - though it may have been stretched out since the band was noticeably looser.

Edit: So five months into ABTF journey - kind of doesn't fit, but good enough to keep wearing until I find a good replacement.

I was super excited to get this bra after I got the 30FF - Panache Black » Odette Sweetheart Moulded Bra (7851) . The Odette fit me almost perfect, so the fact that this was a liiiittle bit off disappointed me a bit. It's a bit taller so there's a little gape on top for me when I move, but it's not much of a problem. It's extremely smooth so it's invisible under clothing. The scalloped lace on the band and straps is very nice and makes it look much more interesting than a plain molded bra. The band is definitely very stretchy, I'm usually a ... 32 and this 30 fits right. I would recommend sister sizing down. Upon first wear, it was quite comfortable, but under the band in the front my skin was starting to get quite red, so I imagine there's a little less immediate projection than the Odette and this would start to get uncomfortable in that area if I wore it longer. The color is quite light beige. Overall, if you're in need of a projected molded bra, I would recommend the Odette over this one for the shape, but if you need plain beige I would say this is the best in that color that's out there.

I didn't try on this bra as the 32FF was plenty stretchy already (I prefer a 30 band in this bra).

I would recommend sizing down in the band if you are in between sizes.

I'm around a 32FF in Cleo.

I sized down as the 32 band was too stretchy. I would recommend sizing down in the band if you're between sizes.

Sadly I'm between sizes in this bra. The 30FF is a tiny bit too small in the cups, and the 30G is too big in the cups. I can make the 30FF work if I just don't scoop and swoop super vigorously on my larger breast.

But that isn't the main issue...

This bra seriously breaks my heart. It would be the perfect seamless bra for me (the only one I've found that's projected and narrow ... enough), except for the straps.
I don't think they're too short. I do have them as long as they'll go, but they're not really cutting in. It's just the placement of the adjustment hardware is in the worst spot for me. These straps are only half adjustable (UGH), so the adjusters rest on spots that are painful. I don't know if they're resting on bone or what, but they really hurt.

I really hate to return this bra. It's so nearly perfect, but it's just too painful to wear.
I'll probably try and track down the old Masquerade version to see if it fits any different.

Sadly I'm between sizes in this bra. The 30FF is a tiny bit too small in the cups, and the 30G is too big in the cups. I can't quite fill the top of the cups, making them buckle outward. I'll be returning this.

Very stretchy band; more so than my 30E Panache Envy
