Very short, projected, even, somewhat narrow, close-set breasts...

I'm embarrassed. I ordered, from Amazon, seven bras (6 Panache plunges), and all of them will be returned. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />

Because gores are always too wide, I thought plunges might offer relief to my always stabbed-by-the-wire breasts. Still, the low gore is too wide. Within 5 minutes, a deep red mark developed on my most center-full breasts. No, thank you. Admittedly, I could narrow the low gore, but that alteration has not worked well for me.

The fabrics and wires are supportive. The cups, depite their height, fit well. The cup edge does cut into my upper roots, ... but this size is one or two sizes small. And, the narrow straps are fluted to create a more stable and beautiful strap. But, the wires...! Panache and Cleo are officially banned from my "potentials" list. There is little padding and they bite. Curvy Kate and Comexim aren't this painful when the cup is two sizes too small.

The fabric: I feel like I'm wearing curtain sheers, and not in a good way. And, if you have prominent nipples, they are on full display. My sincere and heartfelt apologies to the Amazon employee/s who practically ran while assembling this order. They will run again to restock six Panache bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />

Aesthetically, I appreciate Black Loretta more than Caramel Loretta. The embroidery provides a beautiful contrast on pale skin. Alternatively, I imagine darker skin would look incredible in Caramel Loretta.

Finally, there is empty space in the bottom because the cup is a bit shallow for my shape.

Not enough support in the cups for my boobs, ended up spilling out the middle and couldn't fill the top of the cup.

It looks very pretty on the models, but some combination of a too-small cup size and how thin the bra is meant that my nipples show through the lace top part and the actual cup part. There is no padding, it's just very thin fabric, and doesn't really feel like it's holding me, just...sitting there. The band is very stretchy- I had it on the tightest hook immediately and I could still pull it out a ways from my body. The gore and wires are nice- short so it sits flat well. The straps adjust long enough by a wide margin, but are rather wide set.
In short- looks pretty, but I think there's too much lace on the cups to hold enough breast, even if it fit.

This is a really pretty bra. I think the colors are classy. I get along better though with the cleo shape even though I like the panache colors/patterns better. The transition to the lace is pretty smooth. Even though i like the bra a lot its not quite right on me. I get some quadding as I wear it towards the center but still sort of on the top. The band is also a little lose.

Update: Unfortunately, since I am more full in the center, the cups tend to cut in strangely as I wear it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think it would *probably* be best for someone fob (full on bottom) and/or with outer fullness.

First Impression (black colourway): Loretta has exceeded my expectations! I got it on a whim during an Amazon flash sale, but I am pleasantly surprised. I have close set breasts, so I typically find bras with lower gores more comfortable and this is no exception. However, there is enough of a gore to still give support and keep everything contained. Unfortunately, the wire on ... the outer cup may be too long for me (there has been a bit of poking). The straps are quite comfortable; I am 5'10" and, although I has to loosen the straps all the way, find the length adequate. As with most bras in this size, the upper part of the cup is duel layered rather than sheer as is shown in the smaller cup sizes. This makes the embroidery less noticeable, but it is still pretty. Strangely though there are only 2 rows of hooks, but despite this the band feels quite stable and seems true to size.

This bra gave me such a strange pointy and triangular shape. The lace also hit in a very strange place and really did nothing to conceal my nipple in any way at all.

Returned. It was too loose for my liking at the top.

I got this as a part of amazon's prime day deals. It was cheap and came with fre
