Didn't fit

This bra is a perfect combination of Panache's Idina and Andorra styles as it provides a rounded shape like the Idina and a lovely stretch lace panel like the Andorra. It does not show through clothing and the beautiful pattern that will completely boost your confidence. It is recommended that you go up one cup size so this bra would better fit someone who typically wears size 30FF (UK).

However, on me this bra was simply too small in both the band and cups. As someone who has only learned about proper bra fitting in the past six months I am still experimenting with sizing and now believe that I am a 32GG (UK). I have also found that I much prefer full cup and plunge styles over balconettes for my body type. If you believe your true size is a 30FF (UK) and love balconnette styles this is a great bra for you.

Great bra! just purchased it and love the quality. I never thought I would like anything but a molded cup but this bra changed my mind. Great bra for those who are full on top.

Used to fit

Very comfortable, and really very pretty. Lace bras in larger sizes sometimes look grandma-ish but this is super cute. It gives a very round, slightly minimized shape, which I like. I have a lot of outer fullness, and although it does bring them forward, it's not super upfront (this took some getting used to, but it looks very natural). The material is lace but was not itchy at all, even for my super-sensitive skin. In case it is not clear, this bra is not padded or lined AT ALL, which is not a bad thing but is not clear in the photos!

Very comfortable, good rounded forward-facing shape. The wires pinched a bit, but have since settled after a wash.

36HH

Fits

This bra is probably going to be my new favorite bra.

It is beautiful - the pattern on the cup, the lace edging both at the top of the cup and the bottom of the gore, and the deep purple color. It is comfortable - even without breaking it in yet I think it'll be more comfortable than my 36H - Elomi » Caitlyn Underwire Side Support (8030) , which is saying something. And it fits great on me.

There's just one thing that's bugging me - I bought it expecting to get a subtle, rounded shape (since that seems to be most common, looking at other ... owners on here and ABTF). When I first put it on and swooped-and-scooped, it gave me a more cakes-on-plates look, similar to how my 36HH - Cleo » Lucy (5851) looks. When I gave my breasts a few minutes to settle in, the effect is lessened and it becomes much more rounded, but my smaller breast retains more of the pointy look. None of my other bras really highlight the difference between my breasts like that, but it's also caused me to realize that my asymmetry is more shape-related than size (my 'smaller' breast has much less upper fullness than the larger).

So, basically, very little upper fullness may cause you to get a pointier shape than anticipated in this bra, but otherwise it's great and I want five more of them.

- I love the purple! I would be tempted to buy it, but the projection is not enough for me so the wires keep slipping down and hurting me. I do see your shape in this bra is very different from mine - interesting. I have it in black.
- It's SUCH a beautiful purple - my horrible bathroom cellphone pics do not remotely do it justice.
  
  I see that! Interesting indeed. You have Floris marked as fitting you and it was way too open on top for me, though, so probably very different shapes and that's why.
- The floris's top lace is a bit loose on me, although I seem to settle in to it a bit - but its just not a problem compared to how well the rest of it fits. I have no idea if i'm full on top - my boobs are so saggy I dont know what I'd be looking for. But I guess when they are cinched in to a bra, it squished up and down lol
- ahh, yes, I see your floris has even more loose fabric on top. and in your lucy I feel like I get a better idea about how you are less full-on-top than I am.

Didn't fit

I'm not happy with this bra, because I have a disconfort feeling in it.

It was recommended by fitting lady as an alternative for 32JJ - Panache » Tango Ii Balconette (3251) but it isn't.
I could not decide, what is really wrong for me, the shape or the size of the cup.

After some minues duing wearing I got pain in my shouldern. Somehow I feel as well, that the band is to tight, it is not enoug streng and the straps are to wide on my narrow shoulder.

-Bottom of the cup
-Quadboob
-I feel, that my boobs can move during moving separatly

Didn't fit

I loved the wire width and height on this size. Not perfect from me, and I didn't have a full day trial with it, but by comparison to the 38HH - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) , much less inclined to stab me abd a comfier fit with its wider and higher wires.
Unfortunately, it was too big in the cup. The wrinkling isn't super obvious except on my smaller side, and with the stretch lace there wasn't really gapping, but comparing the profile to the size down, the much pointier shape seems like a giveaway of too large a cup based on what I've seen t_maia say.

For the bra itself, it seemed like a really sexy basic to me (although the boyfriend didn't agree, being firmly anti beige.) The cups had an interesting texture to them, and the materials felt good.

Basic side support balcony bra. The cups are made from semi-sheer houndstooth fabric with floral patterned stretchy lace in the upper part. The contrast between the menswear-inspired fabric and the more feminine elements like the floral patterns and the little bows on straps an center gore give this otherwise unpretending design a little extra twist.

I find this bra very comfortable and I like the soft touch of materials used. The shape is rounded but more in a tear-drop way. It's a perfect everyday bra which is pretty even if not as stunning as some other Panache or Cleo designs. But it works well in situations were support is more important than looks. I just did a whole moving wearing this one and everything was still in place afterwards.

Pros:
Stretch lace is great for soft, full on top boobs
Side support gets boobs from under your arms and pushes them forward
Nice rounded shape
Good basic colors and cool pattern for a modern appearance

Cons:
Everything is seriously stretchy, including the lace. I am unsure of how long it will last and the band has already stretched just from trying it on.
Narrow straps
Straps not fully adjustable
Lace feels unsupportive; I jiggle a little when I walk

This is my first stretch lace bra. I have soft, full on top and close together boobs, so the way it curves to their shape without cutting in is nice. This is my second side support ... bra and in a balconette style this seems to mean forward projection and it gets my boobs out from under my arms comfortably, so I really enjoy that I think. The somewhat minimized, rounded shape is my personal preference and this bra aims for that but it falls a little short on me.

I feel this bra separates my breasts too much, but is not extraordinarily bad. The straps seem closer together than previous Panache bras but still too far apart. The wires seem definitely narrow than other Panache bras which is good for me but it still is somewhat under my arms. The wire seems shorter so even though it is under my armpits, it doesn't really poke me uncomfortable like older styles.

My main issue is that it feels unsupportive. It doesn't really give great lift and the straps don't adjust short enough. I am considering altering them and I would like a smaller band since it is so stretchy but I can't go down in the cup so it's something else I would have to try to alter. Also, with my one engorged breast in the pictures and in the smaller 32JJ - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) I tried, this bra does something really weird. The lace just kind of gives way and my boob just gets...saggy for lack of a better word. It doesn't help my longterm confidence in the lace.

I am considering keeping this bra since I got it for only $36 on Amazon and my husband really likes it, but it would require an alteration to make the band smaller, the straps shorter for lift and possibly the center gore to be taken in smaller. Then it looks pretty nice in shape and lift as you can see in one of my pictures where I stand straight up with shoulders back. It also shows up a bit under tight clothing so I am still unsure what I will do.

Edit - Not keeping it. See my fit request for more information but this bra does not work for large, pendulous breasts.

This bra looked horrible on me. Quad boob, and my slightly engorged (I'm nursing) boob actually just hung there saggy. And the wire cut into that breast which also happens to be my larger breast, which indicated to me that it was probably too narrow for me. The 32K - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) fit much better and you can read my overall review on the bra there, but ideally I would need a 30KK/L.
