What's with Panache and the wires on the side? This seemed like a safe bet - it's called a low-front Balconette! And sure enough, the gore was a bit shorter than some others I've tried, which seemed great, but alas, it was not to be. It's like the whole thing perfectly followed the curve of my breast, then on the side, it got distracted and wandered off in another direction entirely, right into my armpit. If the wire had just continued on its trajectory, at the same degree of curve, and terminated around the same height as the gore, it would have been golden. The straps ... are a bit wide set as well, which is a frequent problem I have. I'm starting to think that the bras I'm trying are made for someone with a wider skeleton than mine. My breasts tissue is wider than my body on the sides, so that may well be the case. Even the "orange in a glass" effect I get seems to be a result of the basic being stretched too tightly between the wires at the bottom (so, too shallow, basically).
This one didn't actively hurt, which is great news, but it's one of the only ones I've paid full price for, and for $67, it's headed back to Amazon.
