I have wide roots and even, full all over boobs that are close at the top and splayed at bottom.
This bra pushes all the fullness of my boobs out to the sides making me look very bulky and matronly.. I hate it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> the only good things are that it’s a good looking bra, feels sturdy and well made and in profile makes my bust look rather perky but yet somehow still low and heavy :/
Anyway stupidly I bought this bra because I doubted myself and listened to others who criticised my preference for having my boobs pushed together.. don’t let anyone tell you what bra to buy or what is acceptable or not.. the only way to know what you like is to try different bras and stick to what you believe looks and feels good, you are the one wearing it.

I have very wide, full all over boobs and quite short roots.
PROS:
• The relief I get from the lovely cushioned straps, their wide (but not too wide) and pretty
• The perky projection, rounded and uplifted shape I get from the cups
• The thin padding is v comfy and moulds to my shape more like a contour bra
• The low centre gore allows for my high tummy and centre fullness, also can easily wear low cut tops as it is a plunge bra.
• Brings my boobs front and centre with no east west side bulge problems.
CONS:
• I think the cups are a little more separated than I would like, I prefer ... them closer together.
• There's only 2 hooks, 3 is always better in these sizes.
• The straps only adjust half way, I normally like to tighten them as much as possible, although its fine as is in this particular bra.
• The thin padding slightly shows the shape my nipples sometimes under v thin clothes, never bothered me before though but as age and gravity takes its toll I mind more now …but it doesn’t show all the time and is not too obvious anyway, so, I can live with it.
The wire pokes me a little under my right arm, which is my smaller boob, so the wires are very tall and supportive at the sides.

The Panache Porcelain Elan is a solid, if plain, molded cup t-shirt bra option. It looks pretty similar to the Cleo Koko Plunge or Cleo Neve, which are also partial band plunge molded cups, but the cup shape of Porcelain Elan is a bit more reminiscent of the tall, narrow plunge cups of the Freya Deco Plunge, which didn't work for me at all.

The band is a really nice and snug one and fits TTS for a 30 band, which is great. I've found that sometimes Panache 30 bands are too stretchy or too big for, so this was a pleasant surprise. Since I had ... band consistency issues between the Panache Black Ardour Sweetheart Molded Bra, I was surprised that both colors of this style measured pretty closely to each other.

The cups are quite thin and flexible, so this is definitely a true lightly-lined style and not in the padded territory. I think this is great for people like me who hate padded bras, and it reminds me of a very old Victoria's Secret bra that was a longtime favorite. However, the cup shape for me is all wrong. While the cups are quite wide unlike the Freya Deco, they are even taller! Compared to the 28DD Freya Deco I tried, the cups are +0.9" wider and 0.8" taller. That's a lot of room I can't fill, especially at the top!

I am rather baffled at the measurements of this bra as they are significantly larger than the other Panache molded cup bra I tried, the aforementioned Ardour Sweetheart which ran at least 2 cup sizes too small.

It's a shame that this bra didn't work out for me, as the thin cups and firm band should've been a really comfortable bra for me. If this suits your shape, I would recommend it, but you may need to go down a cup size.

The gore floats, i can get my finger behind it. And boobs come out the top. Its a nice bra and soft but doesn't fit me.

I don't think I can do moulded bras and I should stop trying. Being bottom heavy I just have way too much extra room up top. Also, wires too wide for me as most bras are. I do like the gore height, and the bra seems like fine quality, with a nice mid amount of padding to cover nipple dimensions. Just not for me!

This bra fit terribly on me. It was gaping at the top and also gaping at the bottom. Straps were wide. Band was a little tight. The measurements for this bra seem a little on the extreme side compared to others in the same size.

Definitely a shallow and wide bra so there was a shape mismatch with my narrow slightly projected breasts.
