This is the Spice colourway. I bought this and the Black colourway from SFYS in Toronto when they were on clearance for half price, because SFYS won't be stocking the Andorra Full Cup anymore (strange, I know). The band is wonderfully snug, but the cups are just slightly too small for me in this colourway (again, strange that it would run smaller in band and cup than the Black colourway!) so it makes it feel overall just a little bit too small. I can cope, though. This also means that this colourway is slightly pointier than my Black. Everything else is fantastic though. I particularly like how the straps are positioned closer-set than my other bras.

This is possibly one of the comfiest underwired bras I have ever worn, second only to the Panache Sports bra. The cups fit very nicely and give me a forward projecting shape without widening my torso, which is always something I'm looking for in a good bra. The band is not as firm as I normally like, but still doesn't slip out of place and is very comfortable. Not sure how quickly this bra will stretch out, but if it does I'm wearing it on the largest hook so it's okay. The fabric is SO soft and comfortable, the only thing I'm really aware ... of when wearing this bra are the wires, but that's pretty normal for me. The bra is wonderfully made, with straps that are comfortably wide yet still look nice. My only minor complaint with it is the shape--it gives me more of a pointed, "natural boob" look and doesn't lift quite as much as I normally prefer, but these aren't really bad things. I normally prefer more rounded shapes, but often find that they widen my torso, so this is a nice change. It's very natural and flattering, sort of the bra-equivalent of a "my lips but better" lipstick. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Mind you, the shape issue is a VERY minor problem for me. The bra is comfy, fits and supports well and keeps everything where it should be, and overall I'm very happy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

My new favorite unlined bra and my best fitting bra overall.

This bra was really comfortable and great quality, but did not fit me.
The cup was too a little too small for me, but if it fit, it would have been a nice natural kind of pointed shape, I think.
The band is on the tight side, but not uncomfortably so.
The fabric breathes really nicely which is always an upside.
The lace is really soft, which is good. It also looks really nice - not cheap, but good quality. I think this could be very easily a good everyday bra or possibly even a bridal option if one likes the fit enough. It really does have a really delicate quality backed up by some structure which is nice to find.

Lace is a bit itchy. Only worn it two days, unsure about whether it stretches or not. Cups are comfortable.

Tried the Andorra because so many people recommended it for soft, FOB boobs. There are several things I like about it: gorgeous lace, super comfortable cups, deep color, and it comes in a 28 (though I'm pretty sure I need a 30).

Unfortunately, it doesn't meet my criteria for style. Though it does a much better job of lifting than some of the recent bras I've tried, it looks pointy with or without clothing. I fill out the entire cup, so that's not the problem. I tried moving the straps to the end of my shoulders just to see if it would help the shape, and it was significantly improved, but still not for me. Every Panache bra I've tried so far fails me in the placement of the straps in the back; pretty sure I need to give up trying them. The wires are also slightly to wide for me and the gore is too high for the weird extra bone width on my sternum.

Time to get serious about those Polish plunge bras, I guess.

I went overboard when I first discovered the brafitting community and the +0 method of band selection. Though I measure exactly 28" underbust, I now realize I only want to wear 30" bands. Those are tight enough in the brands I wear (Panache, Fauve, Cleo, Parfait, Fantasie). This gorgeous purple color is probably why I've held onto the 28FF Panache Andorra Full Cup bra. I have not been able to find it in 30F. And since I recently discovered the 30FF Cleo Marcie in red fits me better than the 30F, I don't know what size I would be in the Panache Andorra. Sigh.

This bra fits... fine. Only fine though. I get some quadboob going on during certain times of the month. The band is a bit on the tight side. It's fine when I'm standing up straight and walking around but sitting down it can start to feel restrictive and I'll just end up taking it off if I'm at home.

That said, it's very pretty and I'll probably end up buying it in a 30 band someday.

I am really happy with this bra! Throughout this year I have tried so many bras with very little success and then this month I have finally found a couple of styles that seem to work for me.

The fact that this is more of a full cup style than Balconette seems to really work for me, and I wish there were more styles like this in my size, yet it seems in 28 most styles are Balconette.

The band seems a really good fit for me, nice and snug. The cup is maybe a fraction small but not enough to worry me as it is only ... a fraction plus the stretch lace helps as it isn't too rigid. Another good thing is the straps are fully adjustable, although I don't even need to use all the length available. I only have the straps tightened a few inches. Also the wires seem perfect, and not quite as wide as some panache/Cleo styles.

Also whilst it is considered full cup I don't actually find that it is that high, no more so than lots of Balconette styles. It is more that the cut/shape/structure is a bit different to Balconette styles, not so much that it is lots higher.. Although it is higher/fuller at the front, ie between the breasts (hope this makes sense?)

The shape is good, although not as round as some styles, so I might not wear it under some tops that are really clingy.

I have worn it a few times now and find it comfy and supportive.

The style is quite simple so some may find it a bit plain compared to all the interesting patterns and contrasting colours that are now available, but I actually really like the look and find it simple and elegant.

So pleased that this comes in lots of other colours too as I plan to get it in more colours!

As I have had this a while I wanted to update my comments. I find I don't wear this as often as I thought I would when I first bought this, as I don't find the cup very supportive. It is ok, but I prefer lots of support. It is not a bra I would want to be wearing if I had to run for the bus or anything!

I didn't really expect to like this bra, but I've read many positive reviews about it so I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out I was right. The shape this gives is just no where near what the Panache Sienna, Cleo Lucy and Marcie give, even my Curvy Kate Emily is more rounded than this. It's also cutting in slightly and the gore doesn't lay flat so definately too small in the cup which may be making the shape worse. Pretty purple color, pretty stretch lace, SUPER comfortable. Band feels the same as my other typical 28's, I did get this used but would say it's true to size. If it wasn't for the inferior shape it gives me I would definately order a bigger size....can't complain about the looks of it, comfort, many colors available, etc. I did like the full cup coverage and support but just can't get past the pointy shape....although most wouldn't call it pointy. I guess I am just picky but there are better bras out there for me.
