Super tight band. Good for immediate projection. Seems ok for full on top. Itchy?

The band it astoundingly tight. I measure 30.5 snug, this bra is listed at a 32, I put an extender on it (which would make it a 34) and it's super tight. I can't get it on without the extender and I wouldn't want to. If I were to get this in another color I'd go up a band.

I have very immediate projection, which makes it challenging to find a strapless bra that will stay up without my breasts pushing it down. This bra can /almost/ accommodate me. The folds on the underside of the ... cup are the least I have ever experienced, and while the bra gets pushed down a little, it stops at a certain point and is stable. So, the wires don't sit in the inframammary fold for me but they're also not at my waist. And over-all, it don't end up looking droopy which is really the end goal.

A see people complain about the slight bullet shape of this bra. It's true. However I think that's what makes it fit and stay on my body, that's my natural shape so my breasts are able to sit in the cups without pushing the bra around.

Final note, I haven't worn it out yet but I wore it around the house for about 5 hours. It's kinda itchy. Not in a way that makes me want to scratch at myself really, but uncomfortable. I might be sensitive to something in the fabric. Maybe this will improve with a wash.

I bought this bra years ago but I think it’s a little big for me so I only wore it once.

This was recommended to me as a strapless bra with seamed cups (instead of molded ones). I tried the Panache Evie in 32FF and 34F which are sizes that typically work for me.

The band on the 34F was a bit too big for me, but the 32 band was a good fit. Unfortunately, the gore still floats because the cups still don't work for me in this size. I get quadding at the top of the cup, and my tissue is pushing on the bottom in a way that makes odd folds. I think this is both a size and a shape issue, so I don't think going up another cup size will make it work.

In short, this was a no go for me in either 34F or 32FF.

This was recommended to me as a strapless bra with seamed cups (instead of molded ones). I tried the Panache Evie in 32FF and 34F which are sizes that typically work for me.

The band on the 34F is bit too big for me. It works on the tightest hooks, but I would be concerned that it would be too loose once it broke in. The gore floats and I get quadding at the top because the cups are too small. It isn't uncomfortable because the fabric is soft, but it doesn't look right. I'm not sure if a different size would help or not. I think then shape itself is the problem - it wants less fullness in the top.

In short, this was a no go for me in this size.

This bra's bands tend to run a bit snug. Sister size up in this bra, and potentially go up a cup volume. If you are between two cup sizes, choose the larger one.

This bra gives a slightly pointy look. The nude is a very light color that's also a bit yellowish, which I didn't find flattering as a younger person. I like the black a lot better, especially the way it looks with the detachable straps. I have had some issues with slipping when wearing this bra as a strapless bra, and had to go right to the second hook, though I usually wear a 30 band.

Not a great fit for me, too big now. When I bought it it fit okay but the cups are too 'full coverage' to work with most dresses I owned. Great quality, would work for someone looking for a 30H bra.

This had a weird fit for me, and I didn't like the shape it gave. It also didn't look good under what I needed to wear it with. I completely forgot to measure it before returning https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Nice black strapless bra, but it was not supportive (which was kind of expected). The cup shape is nice and it is well constructed. The band size seems to stretch a little more than usual for a 36. Pretty comfortable for a busty strapless bra.

Evie has three-section cup construction, and is relatively utilitarian, but still with the bow, and something about the way the sections are divided feels Parisian somehow. You can see in the photos that there’s just a smidge of wrinkling at the IMF, indicating a slightly too shallow spot at the wire, but wow, it’s close. The cup is rather closed on top, to the point of almost cutting in like @Sculptresse Dana, but it isn’t uncomfortable. When the band is adjusted (I didn’t notice when I took the photo that it was that wrinkled), it’s comfortable enough: the squeeze is there, but not in the same ... way as Dana. The band and underwires are Panache kind of firm, which is a far cry from goddess adelaide, but the wires are tightly enclosed in the channels to avoid jabbing. Normally Panache bras veer on being too tall at the gore for me, but Evie isn’t. An unexpectedly nice touch for Evie is that the hooks are rounded, instead of rectangular, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. I'm planning to try Evie in a 38F--will measure and review that one separately.

This bra seems well-made, but has an utilitarian look. I wish it would have a lace detail, a prettier shade of beige or at least a satiny fabric...

I needed a strapless bra for a special dress, so I bought this one. However, none of the strapless bras I tried did actually fit well.

The Evie was the most projected I tried and as I was slightly thinner it worked well enough... as long as I don't swoop and scoop much. It does quadboob on the top line. I would need it to be more open a bit, but still projected like this one. I tried several cup-band combinations but ... none was perfect. I did need a projected bra for that dress (a flowy one, so I needed the bust projection to make it look right) .

(I also tried the Cleo Koko in several sizes, which gave me a beautiful round "butt" cleavage but made my breasts very flat and cut on the outer part (near the armpits). I tried a lot of sizes and even when the cup was already a little empty it still cut near the armpit. It could have been my choice if the dress had a V-neckline. The Porcelain was worse than both these).
