Didn't fit

I had high hopes for this bra but it fell short of my expectations.

The good: Nice firm band. Lace was not itchy. I LOVED the strap placement; I usually wear balcony bras which wider set straps, so the straps on the Clara were a nice change! I filled the cups well except at the bottom near the wire....

The bad: This bra is too shallow. The wires will not stay in my IMF and the cup collapses / wrinkles at the bottom.

The ugly: The horizontal seams show through any smooth-fabric top. The shape mismatch gives me pointy torpedo boobs. Also, something about the appearance of this bra I just do not care for. It feels - matronly somehow. I think the combination of the pointy shape plus horizontal seam reminds me of those bras from the 50's, lol.

Returning.

This is the first bra I've tried (out of 3 in the right size) which is a reasonably good fit. It's also very pretty, with navy blue lace over a teal satin. The shape will likely be somewhat pointy without some upper fullness, I get a pleasing rounded shape with a slight peak. My breasts are soft with projected omega shape, narrow and short rooted but FOT, closeish set and centerfull. The band is a good fit on the loosest hook, the gore tacks althogh it's wider than my natural spacing. I have a tiny, tiny bit of quadboob which is hard to see even without a shirt. ... The wires are definitely too wide, though not uncomfortable. This does not have quite enough immediate depth, there's some wrinkling on the bottom of the cup and the bra slides down a tad out of my IMF over the day. All in it's a comfortable not-quite-perfect fit, and the bra is gorgeous - shimmery teal with navy lace. The embellishments on the band on sides and back was a tiny bit scratchy to me, and I dislike the fabric used to make the band - it has two thinnish bands of elastic on top and bottom of the band with mesh fabric in between, but the mesh fabric is stretchy and doesn't provide enough support so the weight is being taken mostly by the elastic. Edited to add: after several weeks of wear I've gotten used to the band, and find the bra quite comfortable. Edited again: I'm still wearing this at 3 months in as a work bra, EM are a better fit but this is comfortable and attractive and cooler than a padded bra in heat.

Hasn't set fit

Lovely color. Beautiful bra. Sumptuous, luxurious materials. Juicy, delicious color.

Unfortunately… this bra is not supportive enough for me. The band seems loose. Can put it on the middle hooks straight out of the package. Had to tighten the straps all the way and it still wasn't enough. Cups do not feel supportive. I know this is based off the Andorra, which ended up not working for me. I was told this was an improved version. Seems about the same to me. It was so unsupportive that I felt embarrassed wearing ut. Alone. In my own home. Maybe I'm spoiled by jasmine? The bra is gorgeous and I would love to keep it but I need something better. :/ I have extra space where the strap meets the cup. A lot of it.

Gives a nice rounded shape but the central gore was just too wide for me so it kind of set me further apart than it should so wasn't very flattering. I imagine it would be better on someone who is set wider apart. Am going to try the Andorra in this size as I think the gore is narrower.

Not a fan. I think that either I'm too projected for this bra or it just runs really small. I gave me an odd shape.

Fits

I love this bra, full stop.

I'm full on the bottom and projected, so maybe that's the type that works well with this bra, but it fits me wonderfully. The side slings push my breasts forward in a way that's comfortable and looks good to me - but some breast types may not work well with them - the gore and underwire sit very comfortably where they're supposed to, and I fill the cup without spilling out anywhere. It's a very comfortable bra for me, and I'm very happy with it.

This bra works well for people who are more projected, definitely not a fit for those in the shallow spectrum. This bra fit me volumetrically but I got quite the bullet bra shape. It's well constructed, and the cups have interior side reinforcement to prevent east/west issues and give forward projection. The lace is soft and elegant, with a lovely almost iridescent sheen.

Gorgeous full cup in pale gold and black lace (with stretch in the upper cup). I would have been very happy if it worked out for me, sadly it doesn't. In this size I got no quadboob but the problems with the side slings I noticed on the Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675) and the 30F - Panache » Clara Full Cup Bra (7255) are more severe here. I cannot settle into the cup as the side sling combines with lacking projection causing an indent on the side of my boobs and an overall weird shape. As the side slings turned out not to be my friend in Panache I will stick to their side panel models like Panache Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) and Panache Jasmine (6951).

For those who go along with the side slings design I would recommend to size up in the cup as with the Panache Andorra.

I found it somewhat disappointing there were some loose threads as it is higher priced than the Andorra.

Pretty much agreeing with what everyone else has said -it's gorgeous on, pretty similar to the Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675) , and wrinkles from being too shallow in the bottom. Subjectively, I'd say the wires are lower than at least the older models of Andorra (haven't tried a recent one), and possibly slightly narrower, though I wouldn't call it a narrow bra. The straps are also miles better, being the thicker kind with felting on the back they use in Jasmine, for example. The vertical seam in the bottom of the cup also comes up higher, and I'd say it runs a little bigger than ... my pink 36J - Panache » Andorra Full Cup (5675) , as I quadboob after scooping in that, but not in this.
I found the band quite true to size, and need to wear it with an extender.

I reeeeeally wish that bottom section fit better, as the black/gold coming out is ridiculously gorgeous, but it's hard to justify two of a beautiful bra that's not an awesome fit.

Edit: actually, I wouldn't just say it's a shallow bottom section, more a shallow inner/bottom section. Most of my pulling is in the inner quadrant, closer to the gore.

- I realize it's been some months, but do you still have this bra? Would you be willing to give measurements? I realize it'd have been stretched out a bit, but I'm considering this bra, and... I'd love to make an informed ordering decision =) (many thanks either way!)
- Eep, I do, I've been so swamped with real life things I haven't been on here in months. I can probably find a chance to get to this in a week? Probably too late for you though, sorry. :(
- If you don't mind, I'd still love to know. My bra budget is so small, I've been scrimping and searching measurements, lol. So I haven't bought anything yet.

Old and rarely worn. I think not enough immediate projection for me. Looks like it fits but feels off.
