    30E

    Fits

    Shape: round, projected, even to FoB, close set, average root width.

    So comfy! So pretty! Great fit (good wire width, breasts fully enclosed in cups without quadboobing, enough immediate projection for my shape) with the sole exception of the gore, which is just too high and wide for my comfort - but then again, that's an issue I have with nearly every non-plunge bra. Band is on the firmer side for a 30, which works for me as I'm inching towards a 28. Gives a nice smooth, rounded shape. I'd say this is actually great t-shirt bra because the fabric & seaming is flat and opaque enough to be invisible under most tight-fitting clothes. Full of regret that I didn't discover this cut until after the Apricot colorway was dc'd, as it would have been perfect as a nude go-to when in need of a smooth silhouette. That's okay - the deep jade (more of a dark teal) is gorgeous and will work just fine under any darker clothes. Love it, keeping it, buying the matching high-waist panties.

    30FF

    Didn't fit

    Short, projected, slightly narrow, center full, close set, even breasts....

    Olivia has lovely fabric. Not only is the color gorgeous, but also the fabric is moderately soft. Tonal polka dots dance across the lower cup and lace stretches across the top. The band runs a bit shorter than other Cleo/Panache 30s. I added a full exteneder to reduce wire distortion. Still, I was not able to sit near the wire. The immediate projection was not quite enough. The stretch fabric across the top of the cups can accommodate a variety of shapes. Because I have short breasts, They are largely empty on me.

    I would appreciate wider straps, a wider band, and a narrower gore.

    This bra fits great! It covers my boobs well and keeps them from spilling out the top. It encloses my breasts perfectly and feels comfortable even after hours of wear. Sadly, I do not like the style of it. It looks like something my grandma would wear. While there is some nice flowery designs on the fabric, overall it's very plain and not very sexy. It is used but in excellent condition.

    I bought this after purchasing the Floris, a similar cut, which I love. Everyone says this, but I'll corroborate that this bra is less supportive because the fabric is soft, the upper cups (already generous) have stretch and even the lower cups are a stretch fabric overlaid on a thin layer of bias-cut mesh. I got the Jade colourway because I couldn't find the pale pink anywhere. I think I'd have preferred the pink but the Jade is a really nice, jewel-toned teal (as blue as it is green). I don't like this as much as the Floris because the support and shape just aren't comparable to the ... Floris, but this bra is still really nice - it fits and it's wearable. There is, however, more notable gap between my upper breast and the cup on my less full side because this fabric doesn't have the same sort of substance as that used to make the Floris. Also, the upper cup is cut very straight along the edge that touches the upper breast. I don't find that line as attractive as a curved upper cup.

    Haven't yet received the undies (ordered those too) but I suspect they're going to be extremely flattering and comfortable, just based on the bra fabric. Note: I generally find that Panache/Cleo undies fit really snug because the bra-matched fabric generally has no stretch. I'd def buy this again (if I could find the pink, particularly). I might size down in the cup and/or band to achieve a snugger fit. (Would try 32G.)

    30FF

    Didn't fit

    This bra in the deep jade new color is a pure beauty in its simplicity. I recently changed bra sizes due to ongoing weight loss (I'm doing a physical job after years of inactivity) and when it came to the renewal of my lingerie wardrobe, I fell in love with the color and the shape of this bra. It is classy with its jewel color, but also feminine with the discreet little sparkling embroidery, not aging so appropriate for a young woman like myself, and the shape looked like the Cleo shape that I like so much: uplifting, rounded and supportive. Without the crazy colors Cleo affectionate. A ... true woman's bra.

    When I received it I wasn't disappointed on the appearance of this bra. It was everything I thought it was on the website's photos. I was glad to see I chose the right band, but the cups were really too small. I think I need GG cups instead of FF. My previous bras had HH cups so it was difficult to determine which new sizes to choose from, even after taking my measurements.
    Even if I spilled up and on the sides, I still got a wonderful shape ! The fabric felt really soft against my skin and supportive, but molding where it mattered (on the top of the cups).
    I am returning this bra, but when my size becomes available again in my favorite online shop, I will definitely get my hands on another deep jade Olivia !

    • Does your 32FF Lucy still fit you well? Im trying to determine which Olivia size to order. I've heard it has great immediate projection.

    • 1

      No my Lucy doesn't fit me anymore because I've gained a lot of weight in the past years and now I'm losing it slowly since summer. I'm now a 30GG, so I'm planning to get a replacement on my Lucy because it was my first Cleo bra, but still my favorite to the day, with Lily.

      But I loved Olivia's feel and was bummed when I couldn't order a bigger one at the same price so I got a Freya Ignite instead, which I'm still to try on.
      I'd say go for it with the Olivia ;)

    30H

    Fits

    What a beautiful bra! The band is very firm, but comfortable. The fabric is a soft, stretchy mesh. The apricot color is lovely.

    I am disappointed in the shape that it gives me, so I won't be able to keep it. Technically it fits in every respect, it just gives me a dreadful droopy shape. I'm not sure why. The construction seems to be very similar to the Floris. The shape and support it gives me is nowhere near that shape, though. The 30H - Panache » Floris Balconnet Bra (7311) Floris gives me a front-and-center shape; 30GG - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) Envy gives me a wider, but rounded shape. This bra is okay, just neither of those shapes...more of a pointy, but sloped-downward shape. I think it might not have enough projection for me.

    • I didnt like it as much as Floris, either. It didnt gather my breasts in to center as well, and the elastic on top cut in to my bigger side.

    • You described the shape exactly as it looked on me- pointy but sloped-downward! I'm so glad it wasn't just me!

    Very pretty, very comfortable, but the cup fabric is stretchy all over and the cups don't provide enough support.

    32H

    Hasn't set fit

    Really pretty peach color works well as a nude/beige alternative. I bought this bra to wear under light colored tops, and it delivered on that front. The shape is not as up front as my Cleos; it almost has a minimizing effect.

    I am so obsessed with this bra. It is a great nude. Cups are a little too far apart for me but I am wearing it anyway. Might take in the gore to bring the cups closer together.

    32GG

    Used to fit

    Continuing on with my Panache kick, I decided to give Olivia a try, in hopes the fit issues I had with the 32H - Panache » Olivia Balconette would go away with the 32GG (I know I praised the crap out of it initially, but after time, its too wide straps and wires become increasingly uncomfortable and didn't break in as I expected with wash and wear). And, pleasant surprise, it fits! The cups are definitely wider than I need, but not as bad as the 32H. The band is perfect -- firm but stretchy. The cups squeeze a bit into my top tissue on my ... larger breast, but not enough to be a huge problem. With the straps loosened all the way (I'm 5'10" so that's no unusual as is), quadding subsides. The shape isn't as projected and spherical round as my 32GG - Panache » Floris Balconnet Bra (7311) , but is also not as compact as my 32GG - Panache » Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675). The shape is still round, but a bit more natural looking. Under clothes, it looks best under a sweater or heavier fabric. I wouldn't consider it a t-shirt bra by any means.

    Aesthetically, it's gorgeous! The apricot color looks fantastic against my super pale skin, and works well under lighter clothes. I also bought the high-waist brief (sale on Amazon!), and the set is sophisticated sexy. I expect this baby to become a staple in bra wardrobe.

      I'm so glad you like it! I couldnt live with the cutting-in on my bigger side, and decided I really didnt like the way it looked at all. I just bought 2 more floris instead lol I was really expecting to love this bra, but i'm glad at least someone does!

    • If my boobs grew even in the slightest, it would definitely be too small! So it's right on the cusp. It's really hard to gauge with many Panache bras the fit right away, because they tend to soften up so much with wash and wear. I think with the recent changes in fit Panache has made, my size in their brand changed, which is why I've been more successful with their bras. I'm glad the Floris works so well with you! It has some beautiful colorways coming out this Fall that I will definitely be snatching up. :D

    • I thought this fall was just the space-looking pattern? Is there another?

    • Must have been confusing it with Jasmine. Looks like there's only the one: https://2cakesonaplate.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/moda-lingerie-swimwear-show-panache-aw15-collection/

    • Yeah, that was the post where I complained about the bras not being labeled in the picture, because 4 pictures with the label only saying "Floris & Jasmine in Abstract, Floral & Snake prints" is pretty confusing to me. Other ppl said they had no idea what I was talking about, not confusing at all.

      I havent really tried a jasmine yet. I think I was handed one in a fitting room once which was way too small and seemed really pointy to me - but so small i just held it over my boobs, so i have no real idea.
