As the 30DD Envy I tried was still too big for me (even though until recently I had a good fit in the 30E) I went down to the smallest size Panache makes this bra in: the 30D. It fits pretty well, and it's comfortable. The lace is slightly stretched on my larger side, but it lays flat, and I have to take a massive breath to make it show any hint of quadding - and even then it doesn't show under a T-shirt.
Cups too small and a lot of fabric wrinkling... Maybe too projected for my shape https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I purchased two of these to replace my 2 old 30DD - Panache ยป Porcelain Lace (5726), which have worn out and no longer fit. The new ones fit even better than the Porcelain Lace, because the band is a bit tighter and the cups are not as closed (no quadboob!). Since I am petite, most bras rub me under the underarms, but this one doesn't do so anywhere nearly as bad as my other bras. In fact I am so happy with it that I have been wearing it since receiving it earlier today, tags since removed of course. The coral color is beautiful.
Overall, a more comfortable and better fit than the regular Porcelain for me. The band is a tiny bit firmer and doesn't stretch out as much. The cups are still pretty closed on top, but they don't cut in as much as the regular Porcelain does. I really love this bra and find it very flattering under clothing.
Edit: I recently gained a cup size and this no longer fits, but it's still a lovely bra. I might get a new one in a 30DD if I can find a good deal somewhere.
A nice molded cup option if you're fairly even-shaped or shallow. It gives a VERY rounded, full shape under clothing. The cups are very closed on top, but I'm shallow enough that I only get the tiniest amount of quadboob that doesn't show through clothing. The main cons are that the band is quite stretchy and the straps don't adjust fully, so they fall down my narrow shoulders. This is one of the first properly sized bras I bought and I've worn it to death, so the overall stretchiness may be partly my fault...
I love this bra and was so sad to sell it. Unfortunately, I have no business being in a 30 band and the Ariza doesn't come in sub 30 bands. It's a great bra, has decent projection, and despite it being the wrong size for me in band and cup, I still found it comfortable. It just wasn't the band size I need, so I would constantly have to scoop and swoop throughout the day and my breasts weren't as supported as they could have been.
Would definitely recommend this bra, just wish they made it in my size because it was otherwise perfect.
Great bra! I normally need a 30DD for my wide set boobs, but the 30D is wide enough in this bra. The color is amazing! The bra is very stretchy and comfortable. This bra is molded to push the breasts to the center. It felt weird at first since my breasts normally want to go to the sides where they are fuller, but I've gotten use to it and this is the most flattering bra to wear under knits!
I feel this bra runs true to size. It fits just like my Panache loren nursing bra. I really like the color, a really soft dusty rose color, rather than the nude color. The lace is nice, but being such a high coverage bra, it is definitely my comfort over appearance bra. Unfortunately, a little wrinkling at the bottom because of a slightly shallow bottom, but there is enough space in the cup where the boob pulls up to. The cotton material is fantastic in this heatwave.
This bra did not work for my shallow breasts. I had the same problems with this bra that I had with other panache bras. My roommate, however, looks great in this model but in a different size. It seemed to fit tight like a strapless should. It also seemed like it would be comfortable.
This is a design that seems made for me. Unlike the Panache Porcelain, Viva's straps are sewn onto the tops of the cups, so rather than make a circle around the side of the body, they pull the cups upward onto my shoulders. This slight difference in design makes a huge difference in fit for me. The straps do not fold into my underarm tissue as they do on the regular Porcelain. The regular Porcelains straps are sewn at a 45 degree angle to the tops of the cups, while Viva's straps are at a 90 degree angle to the tops of the cups.
The ...underwires completely enclose my breast tissue, the center gore is narrow, I don't get quadra-boobs or "escape" out the sides, I get a lovely "rounded, lifted" look, and it's comfortable! It's also very pretty (I have a bright red-coral one). In photos online (I live in US but purchase from a UK boutique) this bra appears to be thicker and "heavier" than it actually is. I'm so glad I took the chance on it. It's as lightweight as a moulded bra can be (much more lightweight than my other favorite moulded bra, Soma Sensuous Sides), and even though it's moulded, it doesn't feel "padded" at all. It forms to my shape. I love it!
True to size and comfortable. encompasses all my breast tissue which is good because I have wide set breasts. Not great for shallow boobs that won't fill the cup, but still comfortable and supportive. My full on the bottom boobs can't quite fill the cups, but other than that it is an awesome bra. Filling out better with tissue migration. Wish it had a higher cotton content, I hate bras that aren't breathable in the summer, but at least it's not padded. Hotmilk bras line everything in cotton, unfortunately this bra was just cups.
This is a very pretty bra but I ordered the wrong size, the cups were too small. I won't be trying this in a larger size because I didn't care for the pointy shape it gave me.
This bra did not work for me at all, I did just barely fill the cups but it gave my breasts a strange conical shape. The band was very stretchy, even on the tightest hooks.
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.
The Harmony fits me alright and it's definitely a good bra for shallow breasts with wide roots. It does not push my breasts forward as much as Ewa Michalak Plunges or the Cleo George, so the shape it gives me is more natural. My beige one does not really work all that well under tight white tops or t-shirts, however, because the material is fairly thin (compared to unpadded Cleos), so it's immidiately obvious when I'm cold https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />. Seams and lace also show through and the bra is a lighter shade than my - pretty average middle European - skin (in winter, ...so that'll only get worse). It's not as comfortable as a lot of my other bras, because its wires dig into my ribcage after some hours - could this be the case because they're not "integrated" into the band as they are, for example, in Cleo George style bras? The straps are a little bit uncomfortable too: I feel them when I move my arms forward right after putting on the bra, but forget about them later while I'm wearing it. I'm thinking of taking in the centre gore, as it's very wide and I'm sure the wires would still be wide enough for me then. I haven't worn the Harmony often enough to say if the band stretches out a lot.
