This is definitely the wrong bra for tall roots, balanced fullness, a bit shallow, and fuller in the middle. I felt like the gore was trying to attack me, but at least the band ran true to size. I've got to give them kudos though on the pretty pattern.

I got orange-in-a-glass in this bra. Quadboob at the top with wrinkling at the bottom. Probably an issue because I'm too full on top for this bra.
The bra is mostly pretty comfortable and the shape it gives isn't awful.

I really love this bra, but it just doesn't fit me.

It's made for a wide, shallow shape so anyone with deeper breasts might need to size up in this. The stretch lace is great for accommodating a little extra growth/shrinkage in breast size during the month, and gives way more support than it looks like it can. The bottom half of the cup is lined and the top is just stretch, meaning it's brilliant for full on top.

The worst part about this bra is the wires, they are so so wide on me, wider than most bras I've tried. The gore is a little wide too but that can easily be taken in with a few stitches.

Sigh. I am never going to find a strapless.

I normally wear a 30F. Went down a band size because I was worried about it sliding down. For being a 28, it doesn't feel much tighter than many of my 30 bands.

The cups were just not working out for me. Like a lot of people mentioned, it doesn't have enough immediate depth as it leaves the underwires, so my breasts push it down about half an inch so the wires won't sit in the crease. When the wires push it down, the top edge cuts into the top of my boobs.

Appearance is utilitarian, which doesn't bother me a bit, but it's totally unsuited to my skin tone. It's much paler/peachier than I am, and totally obvious under a white t-shirt. Gonna have to let this one go.

The upper lace section is very stretchy, so it is forgiving for full on top boobs. It does cut in on my boobs though, but that's because the bra is small for my size. I should have gone for 28G instead. On me the shape is pointy, but not so much under a shirt. The band is firm. The centre gore lies flat on my sternum. The straps are adjustable all the way, so that's nice. All in all it's a lovely bra if you got it in your correct size.

This is for the chocolate colored Harmony.
This bra is a regular in my rotation. The band is nice and firm, and the straps are fully adjustable (always a good thing). The cups are fairly wide but shallow, which gives a nice close but rounded profile. It’s actually still pretty nice under a t-shirt for a soft cup bra. The center gore is fairly wide for me, but taking it in made the bra fit infinitely better. It’s a great comfortable, basic bra, and would definitely grab another if I ran across one online somewhere.

This is probably my favorite bra so far. It's very comfortable and pretty too. The only problem I have is a tiny bit of wrinkling on the right cup, which is my smaller side, but it's not enough to bother me. The lace is thick and sturdy, so I'm not worried about tearing it. I also like that the straps are placed closer inwards than a lot of my other bras. This works much better with my tiny shoulders. The only complaint I have is the shape it gives me. I find that all non-padded bras give me a pointy look, and the lace does show under clothes.

The Panache bras available at Nordstroms all squash me and give me quadraboob, so I was surprised that this one (in a grab bag from breakoutbras.com) fit me fine. I'm not terribly impressed with the shape it gives me, but not everything I wear has to be cleavage-inducing.

The quality seems better than my other Panache bra, Toni (under Cleo), but not as good as a Freya bra. My primary complaint is that the inside of the bra itches, along the seams. Other than that, it's a fine bra. It's comfortable and supportive for the most part, and it definitely fits better than my other black mesh bra!

This is another bra I received from my Grab Bag from Breakout Bras. It's the first longline style I've tried. The band is stretchy for a 28. The underwires seem longer than my other Cleos, Blossom in particular, but not too long or poking.

The lace is soft and feminine appearing - but fragile. While measuring I had to grab an emery board to file a small hang nail. I handwash all my bras but if you are one who machine washes, I doubt this bra will fare well.

Speaking of measuring, I wasn't sure where to measure the gore & wing height. I added photos. I didn't include the soft lace in my measurements.

The bra offers good separation and mild-moderate support but I wouldn't do a workout in it 😂

It encases all my tissue. Is so light weight and wouldn't feel like I had anything on if it weren’t for the digging in at the apex near my pits. The band is quite snug but I’m sure it will loosen over time.

Really comfortable and gives a nice natural shape. It's a tad large, I probably need a 28F, especially since my smaller side has some wrinkling. There's also a bit of bulging where the tight knit side support ends and the stretchy lace begins. But it doesn't stop me from wearing it often. I like the low gore, and nothing digs in.

A beautiful bra with lace cups.

I think this is the best fitting bra I own. The side panels and height of the sides is amazing for my tall roots. The top lace is forgiving though a bit wrinkled because it is loose. I think I will be buying this in as many colors as I can. I am FOT and projected.

This bra seems to fit pretty well, I just wish the wires weren't so hard and the band wasn't so tight. This seems to be the case with all the Panache bras I've tried. The gore tacks at the top but you can see the cups are too wide for me. It's just to uncomfortable on my ribs.

The Envy is just a solid bra. It's a great diagnostic bra, a great bra for day-to-day, a great bra PERIOD.

I can only wear her when I'm not on my period, but the brown ("chestnut") colorway is perfect as a neutral for my true autumn closet.

This bra is just a good one. I feel like it runs very TTS.

Update: of course I grew even more since this bra was deemed Unfit For Use, added the new measurements into bratabase.
BB now thinks I should try this in 28G. Right. The one style that's been completely contrarian by squashing and sagging at once /facepalm.

Edit: I was Today Years Old, when a helpful poster here enlightened me.
Just as 'Side Support' is not code for 'Good for super side full'; 'Full Coverage' is NOT code for 'Good for really full breasts'. God how I HATE bra advertising they are such asshats. Anyways, on to the review...

This one and ... their Ana kept coming up in the back of my mind of potential suspects for short/even on top/fob/side full containment, when compared to other styles, somehow never crossed them off the list. Because of course, it's been a better performer than a whole LOT of other things in the market. Maybe this time?

We knew better and yet...

Here we are again, chat.

How many times am I going to have to learn the hard way. If it says side support the only thing it's gonna support, is the brand's profit line.

This fit in this one screams in capital italics: 'There is literally nothing for every-immediate-depth-on-earth level, generally full people'. I don't know guys, are all bras only for extremely soft malleable tissue? is there not a support option for well rounded figures? What. Is. Going. On. Out. Here.
Because I'm old, ready to size ///down/// to something sane, after having to size up a trillion cups; and beyond tired of this exact same fit in everything.

While the cups shape is not painful (rare), it feels uncomfortable/off and is beyond fugly: bunching, stretching, straining, fussing around my breasts and generally acting insane. Baggy just above the center, while being just barely deep enough for my wildly shallow inner breast, then lower cup pushes my underboob upward where is spills horizontally- where there was already no room to spare on either side, & forces more pressure into the armpit and gore (certainly never lifting anything up to create any kind of roundness that would fill out the weirdly tight &flat nasty upper band with it's pinching strip of sharp elastic!).
The lower part of the cup is much smaller than the same size lower cup pieces in a few similar patterns I've bought, just narrower, shorter, pointier, all of it. The gappy shape above nips is a narrow, frown-shaped crescent that sags, between the lower and upper parts of the cup. Any material that is pushed below cannot go pulled up for long, as it shifts right back down with a speed that rivals a cat in a rainstorm.
All sides around the cup are tight and cut in for a couple inches inward from hems to just above center where upper and lower cup join, and almost look like they should have a little baggy extra space, but it's just much too shallow and somewhat tall so that area pulls taut & sags down, or flips up. Thankfully my completely pancaked lower breast does not reach high enough to create classic madonna cones in that pouch, as has happened with some other designs (typical fit in chantelle, fantasie, cleo etc etc).
I want to blame the wire for the ill fit in the cup, because my god what ails these things!? However I'm not angry at them as they neither sit on my boobs or push the cup away from them, for once it's not their size or shape (must be that these are those high octane, ultra-reinforced rebar type).
The frame of the bra is also perfect in fit and width, but the decorative lace band flops up and proves itself utterly useless.

Material is soft, pretty as in images, is not especially durable and I know from many years working with lingerie textiles this will pill and the elastane yarns will snap leaving nasty looking little dingy strings all over the upper. The cup's construction is light airy and delicate-looking rather than heavy duty stoic as the panels would suggest. I 'd rather not nitpick the straps and band to death but they carry a decidedly matronly, dowdy sort of energy when paired with the pretty 'minecraft status effect' design lace. I'm fantastically irate about the miserly little hooks. There's something almost spiteful about the panache will to at once acknowledge yes, we will be creating a large enough cup, while also flipping us the bird and use these consistently insecure, weird cheapo kooky closures.

This is a great bra if you need a low gore. I am center-full, and I am not falling out the center. It is well-made and keeps you held in. Too bad this size is a tiny bit small. I'm going to go up a size (both band and cup)....the band is very tight.

I have two of these in 28FF and I like them! This one is the magenta colourway. I'm in love with the cute stretch lace and satin bow and the "perky" shape I get. This is supposedly a full cup bra but doesn't feel stuffy. The two colours measure and feel a bit differently - this one had much stiffer underwires and rode down, making it feel a little too snug despite measuring an inch longer laid flat. I lasted an hour or two before changing to the black one. Maybe it will bend around my ribcage.
Even though there is room at the bottom and sides the ... bra gives lots of lift and has my breasts right where I'd like them to be. There's something going on above the lace, but I'm not sure it's quadboob so much as just chest tissue. After some reading I wonder if I have short roots. Another telltale sign of short roots seems to be the gapping I have at the straps when I roll my shoulders forward.
This has a nice low profile under a tshirt.
The centre gore is a little itchy - just the magenta one as far as I can tell! The lace on the band flips up, which I don't notice until I take pictures.

Nice option with hooks on the back for racerback; helped pull straps in for very narrow shoulders. Fit my shape extremely well.
