    I don't think the stock photo for this bra (in the pale blue) does it justice! I'd call it 'semi-sheer'. This would work well as a skin tone alternative for a pale person. I've been wearing 32H in most brands for quite some time now, but have been feeling as though the band is the tiniest bit too loose in all my bras recently. Knowing that this bra ran large in the band, I got the sister size of 30HH instead and don't regret it. The band and cups are both a perfect fit on me, although there is the slightest bit of quad-boobing ... on my larger side when I pull my shoulders back (related to weight gain, ugh).

    I have even fullness that is very slightly weighted towards the bottom and get a nice lifted, rounded shape in this bra that is still somewhat natural-looking (still round, but not super-rounded like, for example, the shape the Panache Sienna gives me). Unfortunately if you are petite/short-waisted and thinking about trying this bra you might have issues with cutting under the arms - I am tall with a long torso, but I can tell this is cut fairly high under the armpits. I'd call these wires average in width, which suits my average-to-narrow root well.

    The one unexpected effect I got from this bra is that the shape is very compact and minimised from the side! Might be workable under a button-down shirt. The one fit-related quibble I have is that the gore is a little wide-set for me, but pretty much every gore above a certain height is - my breasts are close-set higher up my body, and at their closest point probably have less than 2mm of space between them. The embroidery on this bra also appears to be a little tighter than the fabric used on the cups - there is a little wrinkling, but this isn't visible under a tight-fitting shirt. The embroidery itself is also pretty much invisible - the only part of the bra that shows through the tight-fitting shirt I wore on top for comparison is the seams of the cups.

    All up, great bra! I hope Panache continues making it.
