This style of bra makes an ugly pointy breast shape, and the unpadded style wrinkles very easily. Didn't work for me with the correct band size in any cup size.

Feels soft all over, not itchy a bit. Back strap is firm and sits on well in a way that's usual to Panache.

I'm not sure if this one does have a cut not suitable for me, or is it just that this one is a bit big. Cups are good'n wide, which I like.

What a tight band, have to love it!

Unfortunately there is too much empty space in the upper cups for my shallow breasts, and the bra gives too perky look for my taste when worn with clothes. I'd like more rounded, simple shape. Cups are sooo wide and comfy, and this one also gives rounded, not squishy, shape from upper point of view.

The foam in the cups isn't at all as thick as in Freya Deco, which is more convenient in means of softness, but nipples might be seen though.

This bra fits well almost everywhere, with the exception of a little wrinkling in the apex.

Very supportive and a good all-round t-shirt bra.
Typical panache cup problems - too gaping under the armpit.
Lovely plunge shape

The bra Is brand new I have never worn. I ordered online and tried on and too little. It is a beautiful bra.

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.

I went overboard when I first discovered the brafitting community and the +0 method of band selection. Though I measure exactly 28" underbust, I now realize I only want to wear 30" bands. Those are tight enough in the brands I wear (Panache, Fauve, Cleo, Parfait, Fantasie). This gorgeous purple color is probably why I've held onto the 28FF Panache Andorra Full Cup bra. I have not been able to find it in 30F. And since I recently discovered the 30FF Cleo Marcie in red fits me better than the 30F, I don't know what size I would be in the Panache Andorra. Sigh.

Bought this from Bravissimo as I needed a strapless bra. When I'm wearing the straps on it it's perfect, as a strapless bra I wouldn't want to do too much jumping up and down, I don't think it would stay in place. My boobs fill the cups perfectly with no underarm fat or quadboob.

I measure a 28F (from my wifes busty guide on reddit).
I tried on a 28E which resulted in SERIOUS QUADBOOB!

I asked for help and was fitted into a 28FF at Bravissimo. I'm in love with this bra. I have the current season green one which is beautiful against my skin.

I measure about 27 inches on my underbust but I think this is a somewhat loose band, I could clip it on the middle or tighestest band to give a snug fit but even on the loosest it provides uplift and doesn't ride up.

The underwires encase my breasts completely, there is no armpit fat or weird bulging ... anywhere.
The top of the cup sits comfortably against my skin, and there is a nice smooth line.

I prefer a rounded shape so the slight downside is that it gives a more natural shape but it's not as pointy as some bras. It's better than the CK Lottie in terms of shape.

I'm learning to love unpadded bras.

I really want to get the Lucy and Marcie bras but I'm not sure whether to order the same size as the Tango and Juna or get a few sizes. I haven't seen comparisons with juna and tango on the lucy and marcie bra reviews.

This bra fits... fine. Only fine though. I get some quadboob going on during certain times of the month. The band is a bit on the tight side. It's fine when I'm standing up straight and walking around but sitting down it can start to feel restrictive and I'll just end up taking it off if I'm at home.

That said, it's very pretty and I'll probably end up buying it in a 30 band someday.

The cups on this model seem to be more closed on the top than the Freya Deco, and especially since this cup size is way to small on me, there is mega quadboob going on. The straps are way more comfortable though: thinner, more silky and less rough. Definitely love the sleek look of it, though.

I am really happy with this bra! Throughout this year I have tried so many bras with very little success and then this month I have finally found a couple of styles that seem to work for me.

The fact that this is more of a full cup style than Balconette seems to really work for me, and I wish there were more styles like this in my size, yet it seems in 28 most styles are Balconette.

The band seems a really good fit for me, nice and snug. The cup is maybe a fraction small but not enough to worry me as it is only ... a fraction plus the stretch lace helps as it isn't too rigid. Another good thing is the straps are fully adjustable, although I don't even need to use all the length available. I only have the straps tightened a few inches. Also the wires seem perfect, and not quite as wide as some panache/Cleo styles.

Also whilst it is considered full cup I don't actually find that it is that high, no more so than lots of Balconette styles. It is more that the cut/shape/structure is a bit different to Balconette styles, not so much that it is lots higher.. Although it is higher/fuller at the front, ie between the breasts (hope this makes sense?)

The shape is good, although not as round as some styles, so I might not wear it under some tops that are really clingy.

I have worn it a few times now and find it comfy and supportive.

The style is quite simple so some may find it a bit plain compared to all the interesting patterns and contrasting colours that are now available, but I actually really like the look and find it simple and elegant.

So pleased that this comes in lots of other colours too as I plan to get it in more colours!

As I have had this a while I wanted to update my comments. I find I don't wear this as often as I thought I would when I first bought this, as I don't find the cup very supportive. It is ok, but I prefer lots of support. It is not a bra I would want to be wearing if I had to run for the bus or anything!

I didn't really expect to like this bra, but I've read many positive reviews about it so I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out I was right. The shape this gives is just no where near what the Panache Sienna, Cleo Lucy and Marcie give, even my Curvy Kate Emily is more rounded than this. It's also cutting in slightly and the gore doesn't lay flat so definately too small in the cup which may be making the shape worse. Pretty purple color, pretty stretch lace, SUPER comfortable. Band feels the same as my other typical 28's, I did get this used but would say it's true to size. If it wasn't for the inferior shape it gives me I would definately order a bigger size....can't complain about the looks of it, comfort, many colors available, etc. I did like the full cup coverage and support but just can't get past the pointy shape....although most wouldn't call it pointy. I guess I am just picky but there are better bras out there for me.

The straps are weird on this one. It gives a very quad boob effect with correct posture but the band is very loose so I have to wear it on the middle hook.

I only learned how a bra should really fit in February 2012. I bought this bra in April or May. Since the Simone Perele and Chantelle 30Es I'd bought from Nordstrom in February and March were already too loose on the first hooks, I was delighted when I discovered brands that came in 28 backs. I originally bought the Panache Andorra Full Cup in 28F, 28FF, and 28G. The 28F produced large underarm bulging, and the 28G's cups were slightly too big. I have underarm bulging in the 28FF as well, but I think that's partly because the wires don't go up as high as some Panaches. The ... main reason, I think, is because I need a 30 band in this model. The cups fit well, the lace is beautiful, and the color is spectacular.

Though I'd always suffered pain and bruising when wearing this bra, I only recently discovered some brands' 28 bands are just right for me. Now I never want to wear this Panache Andorra 28FF or my Miss Mandalay Paris 28F. I've worn this about ten times. I kept thinking it would stretch out, but it never did. It's in good condition.

I really do not like this bra. The underwire is very hard with no give, it fits very tight for a 28" band I can still fit 2 fingers under but it presses the underwire into my ribs. The quality is decent but the styling and overall look I find quite unattractive, it would be okay for an everyday bra but it reminds me of something you'd wear when you don't want anyone to see you.

As another reviewer said, the center front below the gore does indeed flip up and out, which looks a bit awkward, not a flattering look. This bra was too big for me everywhere but the band, but gives great cleavage.

I will be selling this one, it is new with tags.

A really nice, comfortable bra ... after you break it in. It did hurt my ribs the first few times I tried to wear it, but now I love it. I don't know if this is how it was designed, but it wears like a minimizer, keeps everything secured, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for. It's probably a bit granny-ish, but I don't mind.

This is just one of the most uncomfortable bras I ever wore. It feels way too tight (also, when I got 20 pds less weight) and the shape is terrible. I think this bra has too less space in the bottom of the cups for me, it feels very stiff, I really don't like this bra.
