too closed on top

Updated on Jun 20, 2015 Flag this

This is a beautiful bra. I adore the embroidery around the cups and the strap texture goes very well with that.
However. I tried three separate sizes of this and all of them gave me the weirdest triangle boobs ever. They completely flattened the top of my breasts and shoved them down and to the sides, even though the bigger sizes didn't give me any quadboob. I wish I could love it, but there is Something Wrong with the cut of it, at least as far as it interacts with my breast shape.

(I tried 34GG, 34H, 36G -- all different sizes of pyramid boob)

This bra has got to be the most ill fitting one I've bought so far. It serves me right buying it online without trying it in or doing much research on the style and cut. As you can see from the picture my breasts are just sitting inside the cup without any uplift or support from their natural laying position. The top of the cup gapes and wrinkles. My shape is more full on the bottom but I usually don't have this much room in the top. I think the cup size is too big for me and the underwire are too wide and shallow in the ... front to properly enclose my boobs. They just kind of sit there in the cups as a result.

I have noticed that shallow 3-part cup bras in other brands don't do much for me either. I think I do better with vertical seams and narrower underwires. That said the bra has some very elegant embroidery and may work for fuller on top breasts. Just didn't work for me. On to the next one!

This is a very nice bra. This is the only Panache that I have tried that doesn't dig into my sternum, which is great. It fits me all over, however I don't like the shape it gives me under clothes. It's too east/west for me. I do wish the fabric was softer.

Fantastically plunge-y. This bra goes as low as you could desire. The downside: there's really just about zero support in the center. I tend to quad a little bit there not because there's not enough volume, but because there's nothing there and my breasts just want to spill out into that empty space. On the bright side, it creates a nice level of cleavage with that. It's a very comfortable bra with a neat design, too.

It's perfect if you've been looking for the plunge-iest of plunge bras and haven't been able to find one.

This is a beautiful bra, but sadly did not work for my shape.

I love the fit, but it's too small.

Over all it fits very well, the band is firm but stretchy and doesn't ride up. The straps are Very stretchy, I adjusted them to were I need them and I don't foresee having too many problems with them sliding off.

The wires are just a bit wider than I need, they are wider and slightly less round than I would typically like but they don't poke or chafe. If I had realized that I might have gone with a DD instead.

The cups fit pretty nicely, my only real concern was that I didn't realize how much looser than the rest of the cup the top section would be. [if that makes sense?] The bottom of the cup fits beautifully, and in all the pictures I've seen the top sat flush against the breast, but in mine it kind of flares outward? I think if I make a small dart in it up by the straps I can take in enough of the excess that it wont show under clothes though.

i dont know exactly why this doesnt work for me, the whole construction is just...strange. the material isn't the best, and i find it a bitch scratchy, especially the straps. I dont know if this would improve with washing, but i assume it would.

I love the cobalt color and the lace pattern, its a sort of geometric rose and very pretty. the lift i get int eh lower section is awesome, i just wish it would continue tot the upper! for me, the mesh section and lower section meet in a seam that bisects my nipple. i would rather it be one way or the other - covered ... or hidden- because the way it is now means my nipple gets smooshed and scraped unless i tuck it down.

The straps are very far apart, and i know the band is a size too large; i ordered 36 since some 34s have been too small, shouldn't have. On the tightest hook it feels like it could stand to be a few hooks shorter. i think ideally, id need a 34 band and break it in a bit with an extender.

The lace section doesnt lay flat for me, which seems to be something im facing with most cups constructed this way. maybe i dont have enough center fullness, i have no idea. i suspect the wires may be too narrow, as i have to do the same thing i did with the 36E - Freya » Faye Underwired Plunge Balcony Bra (4201) and scoop in to the wires before they'll stop digging, and the gore still presses a bit uncomfortably despite being almost nonexistent. they share the same very sever U shape as the Faye as well.

i dont think i get much of a shape from this, but due to the poor fit i cant tell. right now it seems sort of wide and blah, not very attractive, and the top section's looseness is visible under shirts.

All together, this is just not comfortable for me and i dont think im going to hazard a try at another size.

This bra is a beautiful color, but the wires are too wide and the lace on top cuts in.
