I have this same bra in 4 different colours: caribbean blue, teal, purple and berry. They are all 30E and fit the same. I usually wear 28F or 28FF in Panache.

At first, the 30E fit well. The band was snug enough, but after a while the band stretched. It needs to be "worn in". Now I wish I had bought it in 28. My ribcage is 26-27 inches, comfortably tight.

The cups gave me pointy shape, and now I think it is because I need 1 size up!! My boob shape has changed lately, and it has made these 30E cups obviously too small, although the stretchy lace saves it a LOT. I will continue to wear these bras.

The bra looks pretty and is comfortable. Straps adjust all the way. The wires are comfortable for me, and the width is okay. I need normal - wide wires.

I'm in between a 30 and 32 and this band runs pretty tight. I can get it to stretch to about 29" before it starts to distort the cups. I can wear it just fine with an extender. The cups seem to run small, although the stretchy lace on the top of the cup can hide that the cup is too small. It's a very comfortable bra and although I can sort of get away with it, I think it's at least a cup size too small. Because of that, it doesn't really support and stop me from bouncing as much as it probably should.

This year's colors of the Andorra Plunge are discontinued (although Panache still has it listed in the "latest collection," so I'm hoping for the best), so I had to search around quite a bit to find one that really fit. I tried the 34E, which was too small all over, and then the 36DD and 36E. The 36E is just about perfect for me. It's not a super structured bra and it gives me a relatively natural, rounded shape.

The construction, overall, is very nice. I love the bright pink, although I'm hoping it eventually gets released in basic colors like nude and black. The lace that makes up ... the cups is soft and gets softer with washing, and the wings are made from a spandex-y fabric that feels like leotard material. The softness comes along with stretchiness, but that again is a feature in my book (no thanks to my v-shaped back). The top edge of the cups is stretchy, too, which is nice because it contains my slightly different sizes without gapping or quadboob. The straps are adjustable all the way up and down, and are set in towards the center a little bit — I wouldn't say it's a true leotard back, but useful if you have slightly sloping shoulders.

The gore is a medium height — reasonably tall for a plunge and nicely supportive without being too separate. If you're super-close-set, this gore might be too much.

These wires are wide, which is great for me. They extend all the way to the center of my underarms, and just about enclose all of my breast tissue. Truth be told, they're are still sitting on a slight bit of underarm breast tissue even with all the lovely width, but everything else is SO close to perfect that it doesn't bother me. The plunge even seems to eliminate the slight orange-in-a-glass that I get with the full cup Andorra... I'm guessing the wires are a little wider at the base. All in all, this bra is great for everyday, low-impact kinds of wear, and I'm hoping it'll be around for many seasons.

I really love this bra, but it just doesn't fit me.

It's made for a wide, shallow shape so anyone with deeper breasts might need to size up in this. The stretch lace is great for accommodating a little extra growth/shrinkage in breast size during the month, and gives way more support than it looks like it can. The bottom half of the cup is lined and the top is just stretch, meaning it's brilliant for full on top.

The worst part about this bra is the wires, they are so so wide on me, wider than most bras I've tried. The gore is a little wide too but that can easily be taken in with a few stitches.

I like this bra a lot. I had to size up in the cups. When it first arrived I was scared because the band looked tiny, but it is really stretchy so it fits true to size. The lace on the top of the cup is really stretchy too, which will prevent any quad-boobing. It gives me a nice round shape and doesn't separate my boobs, which is a pet peeve of mine. One issue I have with this bra is that because the cups are so stretchy, it can be quite bouncy. I don't feel like I will escape the bra, because it does come up high ... enough, but I would not recommend trying to run in it for any reason.

My main problem with this bra is that the underwire is so wide, it goes about an inch and a half past the end of my breast tissue and the wire pokes me back by the inner side of my shoulder blade. I've tried bending the wires away from me to stop the poking, but ideally I would have sent it back when I realized the issue.

I want to love this bra, but the underwire just does not work for me.

Update: I still really like this bra, but I have had to admit finally that it does not quite fit. The lace panel on the top is so stretchy that there is no quad boob effect, but over the course of a normal day, my boobs shift more toward the center of my chest, and out of the cups. I can't decide if the problem was there all along, or if the lace stretched a bit with regular use, allowing my boobs to migrate. I know migration toward the sternum is a common issue with plunge bras, and some are built to create cleavage. ... This bra really isn't, though. I feel less secure in this bra than I prefer, so even though it is very comfortable and flattering, it is not high on my list of daily bras.

Original: I'm new to the world of properly fitting bras, but this is the best I have found so far. I want to try several different styles and brands, but I have the feeling I'll be buying more of these. They are a great fit for my full on top/center breasts, and very pretty. The lace upper is supportive enough to keep me from spilling out in the middle, but is also very stretchy so I don't have to worry about quad-boobs. After a few days of scratchiness around the wires, this bra settled in very comfortably and I can wear it all day without worrying. The shape is more natural that my preference (I like a high, rounded shape), but still more rounded than many lace balconettes I have tried. No issues so far with the straps or band, though I wish the band had three hooks instead of two.

I don't know why I have this bra. Maybe someone gave it to me to sell.

It's at least two cup sizes too small. The profile is crushed quadboob. It's bandless. I need a full band to get the lift I crave.

The color is a dusky maroon.

I love this bra! It was the first comfortable bra I've ever owned. I believe the model is now discontinued and I hope they bring it back.

This bra is incredibly comfortable but not very supportive. The shape is natural and round and the fabric is thin.

I tried the full cup version of Andorra in 30D, but the cups were too small, the band rather large, and the gore too high. I decided to try the plunge in 28E, but I don't fill these cups. I also think the full cup gave me a nicer shape. The band is fine, so it seems this band runs rather large (I think I'm closer to a 30 than to a 28). I thought the tangerine color would be closer to a pastel, but it's a very "loud" color.
