The band on this seems like it is on the big side for me.
The cups are too small, but I think even in the correct size the cups would cut into my soft tissue. Also I think the apex on these cups are a little low for me. It pulls my bustline down.
This bra never really fit me. I always thought it was beautiful, but the straps just won't get short enough. Even when I was the proper size, the cups fit wrong (not particularly too big or small, more like the depth was off). The band was fine for when I was that size.
This is a going out bra. I get a little chafe on the ribcage, which I just realized may be because I need to bring it in a hook or two.Other than that it's beautiful.
The band is too big—I can easily wear it on the tightest hook. The center gore is too high and/or too wide. It is on top of breast tissue on both sides and also pokes. The underwires are too low, and positioned too far to the sides (they’re on top of breast tissue in the middle and outside it on the side). The cups seem both too big and too small, I think partially because the wings aren’t high enough to hold the side tissue (so right after putting it on, I have quadraboob, but after a few minutes, there is wrinkling in the front and top of the cup). Also, the slightly elasticized top of the cup cuts off the top part of my breast.
This is the bra I have been dreaming about all of my life! It is super sexy and so supportive. Not the kind of bra I would wear to work ( I am director of a Child Day Care) but perfect for date nights with hubby. Gave me beautiful cleavage, I did not feel like I was going to fall out of it, and I never felt like my breast's were coming out of the bottom like most other bras do. I could have used 1 cup size larger for more coverage on one breast that's much larger, but it did not give that quad boob effect! Cant wait to try another Panache as this is my first!
I got this for a sleep bra because I found this at a cheaper price than the Sophie Support Bra. It has a loose band that rides up on me, but I actually like that because I don't need much support while sleeping. It doesn't give a good shape, but that doesn't matter to me either. The cotton lining is quite soft and comfortable, the lace irritates my skin slightly as it rubs against my armpits (The cups are quite wide). The cups are also really shallow and too small for me, but again it doesn't bother me since it's a sleep bra. I would really like it if this bra was made of mostly cotton.
This bra is awesome but it is too small for me. I need a 28FF instead of the 28F. It is beautiful on and I love the way it looked under a shirt but I had muffin top because cups were too small. It is brand new with tags. I ordered online and took a chance on size.
I'm not sure I'm entirely in love with the support - generally 3 hook backs feel a little better to me. However, it isn't horrible, and it does feel nice and breathable for summer.
ETA on fit - I'm going to redo my measurements, it seems to fit me better now so I think this might be a time-of-the-month thing. (The cup fabric has no stretch so it makes sense that it wouldn't adapt to a bit of extra fullness the way some other bras might.)
Just got this. I have a very little bit of spillage under the arm on my larger breast, but the wires are perfect, and I'm not spilling out the top. I like the side cup support on this.
I freaking love this bra. I'm having less armpit spillage as I experience re-migration.
The best fitting bra I own, even one year after I first bought it! Unfortunately getting a bit too loose in the band. Love the look, too.
The band was measured when the bra was already one year old. It's too loose now, so I assessed how it fit when it was new(er). I'm going to alter it in order for it to be less stretchier.
Was so excited to find this (and in deep pink!) at my local Nordstrom Rack. It's quite comfortable and while the gore is higher than I normally like it, its also skinnier than most others so it's not as uncomfortable. The lacey top of the bra is extremely stretchy, I think I like that, but I'm not 100% sure.
The cups in this beauty ran really shallow, so it didn't fit me at all. The band felt snug and true to size for a 38 band on my 37" ribs. It's very beautiful and would do great for someone with wider, shallower breasts. I'm going to try it again in the 38HH, because damn is it beautiful and comfy.
The wires come up too high and stab me. I get a really strange shape from the side. I need deeper and narrower cups than this bra has. It's a shame, because it's an utterly gorgeous in the navy/plum colourway.
This is a great bra for everyday use. The kind of bra I will wear, when I could use a sports bra, but won't actually be doing sports https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> Cleaning the house, playing with the kids, dancing my ass off at night clubs... If I could do handstands, this bra would keep my boobs in place even then. I don't need to adjust my boobs at all. Ever.
Appearance: Ok shape, but not great. A bit too wide to my liking. On the plus side, not at all pointy but nice and round. The underwires come very high both in the front and ...on the sides. The high front and "100 % coverage" shape of the cups means that I can't wear low cut tops with this bra. The leaf pattern will show through thin fabrics and actually, even a tight sweater.
Comfort: I've only worn the bra twice now. It does ever so slightly dig under my arms, but not too bad - red marks that disappear quickly. I'm sure it will be more comfortable after a while. The band, at it loosest setting, feels tight but not too tight. The first time I wore the bra I took an extender with me just in case, but I didn't use it after all. The straps only adjust half the way, but right now they're almost at their loosest setting, so that is not a problem for me. For some reason I haven't figured out yet, I do find the sides of my boobs clammy when I take the bra off. Maybe because the material of the cups is a polyester-nylon blend, that is not too good in wicking moisture. Read more 176 more words
Purchased in a cup size (or two?) too large so there is gaping and wrinkling in the top of the cups even after scooping and swooping. The center gore also digs in to my sternum a bit but it's only mildly uncomfortable and I can wear it all day at work without problems.
