I've been a fan of the Panache Porcelain for a while so when I spotted the Porcelain Lace on sale I couldn't resist. I'm not a big fan of moulded bras generally, this is one of the few I like as the moulding is fairly thin - it does not add any size at all, my overbust measurement with this bra on is exactly the same as when I'm wearing a soft cup bra. I also like that the tightly closed cup stops it from gaping if I'm leaning over or hunched over a desk. The outer cup is very smooth as is the inside, very comfortable to ... wear with no itchy fabric.
The band on this is a bit stretchier than the regular Porcelain but this isn't an issue for me as the regular one is a little snugger in the band than I really need anyway. Other than that the fit is similar to the regular porcelain, only difference with this is that the lace on the band will probably show through thin fabrics - again not really an issue for me as I'll mostly be wearing it for work and my uniform is thick enough to hide it.
ETA: I am now wishing I had paid closer attention to the fit of the band on this. It's definitely bigger than the regular Porcelain and I am already into the tightest hooks. Next time I will definitely size down to a 28 band to get more wear from the bra. Since I am stuck with this one for now, I've ordered a Rixie Clip from eBay to extend the life of this one.
