As a wide-rooted, shallower person, Panache rarely works for me, but the Clara is not too bad! The wires are not too narrow at all, they fall pointing at the middle of my armpit (although they're a nice height, they're nowhere near touching my armpit if that makes sense). The band is nice, not too snug despite what I've heard about Panache bras. I may have liked a 28 with an extender in this as I am normally a 28 and it feels a little stretchy, but the 30 is fine. The cups fit lovely, and the lace is very stretchy. Since I am shallower, there is rippling ... along the cups below the nipple, and there is a little space inside the cup at the apex on the smaller boob (my left), but it doesn't bother me too much, as I find the fit is pretty good otherwise.
I know this may not be a 'perfect' fit 100%, but it's pretty good that I would still wear it regularly. Plus the colour is beautiful. Pictures really don't do it justice!

The 30DD Clara is a little small on me and makes me realize that the 30DD Orianne that I have is, too. Not enough side coverage or immediate projection, and some quad boob. That being said, strap placement is great for me (close set). Beautiful aesthetic on the plum colorway. I’m keeping the 30E and sending this size back.

Update: the 30E worked better. The is way too long for me though with both bras and pokes in my sternum.

It fits! This is the first bra that really fits me and it's beautiful! Well, an overlapping / lower gore would have been better, but I'm very very happy with this fit. It really makes my breasts look so much nicer https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The lace of the bra is beautiful and I love the blue/nude color combination. The straps are narrow enough for me and do not dig into my arms, which probably means they are rather narrow. The band is OK, tight ... enough for a 30, although I'd have preferred it a little tighter, but they didn't have this bra in a 28 band. The wires have the perfect width for my breasts, and help them to point forwards and not to the side, even when I lie down https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The lace doesn't feel very smooth and is a little itchy, but I guess that's what you get with lace. The wires are very rigid, similar to the wires of my Cleo Juna bra, which I had to replace with more flexible ones. These wires do not dig into my sternum, but after wearing the bra for a day at work they do annoy me. I might replace them with more flexible ones and will maybe try to overlap the wires at the gore.

This was my first BTF! Very comfortable all around, and the stretch lace really allows my breast to fill the cup.

so beautiful! I want this to fit better! The top lace is loose and stretches sideways for reasons that are a mystery to me. I'm not sure how clear this is in the photos. I could try going down a size?

I think the bottom is good? Maybe I could use a smidge more projection at the wire.

Love the retro cut and side slings.

I have this in 30D, but the cup on my larger side wrinkles a bit on the bottom so I tried a size up. Now the tops seem slightly empty and the gore is definitely too high, and yet the bottom wrinkle hasn't been totally resolved. This bra seems pretty forgiving size wise though, there's not much visual difference between fits on 30D and 30DD.
