This was my first BTF! Very comfortable all around, and the stretch lace really allows my breast to fill the cup.

The fabric of this bra is VERY soft and comfortable, but the shape just didn't work for me. I got massive quad-boobing, which makes me think I either have taller roots or am more FoT than I originally thought. It could also be because the top of the bra does close off anything above it, making this bra best for short roots imo.

This is probably the worst Panache bra I've ever come across.
It fits very much like a Freya balcony plunge. There's cutting in at the top, and wrinkling in the cup. The cups are very stiff, and there's not enough projection st the bottom for my breasts.
So this bra, at least in this size isn't good for FOT, or FOB.

Did not fit well at all. Did not feel like I had any support.

Fits very comfortably and the bra itself looks great. Only issue is that the cups aren't filled completely so the fabric at the top of the bra tends to wrinkle and move a lot https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I just found this bra while doing an inventory for a swap. The cup volume is about a cup size too small. The pics tend to show it purple, but its true mauve.

I like the firm straps and band though the band is on the tightest setting...new. I definitely need to buy 28" bands....

Pretty, comfortable full coverage bra. I am surprised it is so comfy with all of the lace...but it is. I have not worn it, just tried on. A tad of gaping on top/lace and as I am even/fob this could work for someone with a bit more upper fullness.

The type of bra that made me think 30DD would be too big. I lack the upper fullness and upper projection for this. The gore is a bit high and gets uncomfortable. The sides might be slightly narrow but hardly noticeable. the height of the wires is ok.

The Porcelain is still my all-time, best-fitting bra. I love it for its support, comfort, durability, and, best of all, fit! Porcelain, in many of its styles, has been my everyday bra for several years now, and I've yet to find another bra that comes as close to matching my body. I really love this sleek Elan model.

so beautiful! I want this to fit better! The top lace is loose and stretches sideways for reasons that are a mystery to me. I'm not sure how clear this is in the photos. I could try going down a size?

I think the bottom is good? Maybe I could use a smidge more projection at the wire.

Love the retro cut and side slings.

I'm really happy with this bra.
I was looking for a strapless bra for some time, and this popped up as a giveaway here. I've never done well with strapless, so I wanted to try it.
Initially I thought it looked way too deep for me, but upon trying it on, I realized that the amount of projection was perfect. I've since lost a little bit more, so I suspect I will have to re-list this soon, unfortunately. =(
The wires are a bit wider, but I don't find them problematic.

The band is nice and firm, with sets of hooks and eyes and a longer band, which helps a lot with ... the support.
I would recommend this to anyone with a lot of projection and average to slightly narrow roots. I feel like with the depth, this bra would best suit more average roots though. For me, the width doesn't cause any discomfort or other issues, so I don't find them problematic.
Overall, I wanted something that I could wear with a strapless top or dress, and this does great.
The padding is also very minimal, cup separation is about 0.8", and straps are convertible/obviously removable.
Overall, a great strapless bra. Very good support.
I had always wondered why I couldn't wear strapless before. Well, it's true, you need a supportive band. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />

Measurements will be added soon =)

Fits but not the right shape for my deflated fuller on bottom very soft breasts. Too pointy for my taste.

Updated on Jan 18, 2016 Flag this

I got this bra used on eBay. It's in great shape and I don't think it was heavily worn. A lot of people talk about how unflattering this particular bra is and while I agree that it doesn't give me a shape I'd care to show off, it does fit better than unlined bras usually fit me (in the respect that it doesn't cause deep and obvious creases where the seams are). I don't know my actual size yet (due to deflation, it is becoming clear that I need something a bit smaller than what my measurement put me in), but these DD cups are definitely too big ... on me. I get a ton of gaping along the top when I lean even slightly forward. Even though it doesn't look particularly sexy, it actually feels pretty good on and I have been wearing it around the house to get used to a bra with wider wires and a tighter band.

The material of the cups is a non stretchy mesh. The shiny embroidery is actually kind of delicate and pretty. The nude colorway is a pretty good match on my very fair skin. It feels like a well-made bra. I like the way the wing area pulls in my often neglected side tissue and the armpit side of the underwire is a comfortable height for me. I do get a little bit of stabbing with the low gore, but this seems to be a problem in all of the bras I have tried so far and I am beginning to suspect it has less to do with the gore itself than it does with how other parts of the bra are fitting. (It happens regardless of gore height.)

The 30 band is quite stretchy, but feels snug enough. (I just looked at the pictures I had my partner take from the back and I was shocked to see how tight it appears. And that I apparently have previously undetected back fat. I'm slim but out of shape. I don't know if it looks so tight because I've been wearing it all day or what. It DEFINITELY does not feel like it fits as tight as it looks.)

I need a lot of support and this does actually pull my boobs up to where I think they ought to be and allows them to have a natural looking slope. I will probably try it in a 30D, just to see, since right now I am trying so hard to figure out my actual size in something that fits.

This bra I bought some time ago and found it the other day at a bottom of a box. It never fit me and hasn't been worn. Really love the colour though.

This bra has travelled around before it arrived to my doorstep and had not fit anyone the least bit along its travels. I have an "almost fit" here and will probably end up keeping it. A full review will follow, as it's just arrived a few minutes ago and only had a brief look while trying on. For now it seems I have a little quadboob on my bigger side, but I am undecided yet if this will be bothering me or not. Given that I am planning a 3kg weight loss, that might just solve my quadding issues.

I have this in 30D, but the cup on my larger side wrinkles a bit on the bottom so I tried a size up. Now the tops seem slightly empty and the gore is definitely too high, and yet the bottom wrinkle hasn't been totally resolved. This bra seems pretty forgiving size wise though, there's not much visual difference between fits on 30D and 30DD.

Band fits great and true to size. Very comfortable yet firm and stays in place. Cups are just too big. Wrinkling and extra space at the top. Probably just the wrong shape for my deflated fob breasts.

I have wide, even breasts with tall roots.

Disclaimer: I am not nursing and did not buy this bra for that purpose.

Very neat bra! Special features are the hooks for attaching the top of the cup to the straps for nursing, the side panel underneath the cups that keeps the strap in place while the cup is detached, and the extensive 6 columns of eyes to hook the bra together in the back. I believe the additional 3 columns are added to the outside rather than inside, as the bra hooked on the tightest hooks feels like other Panache 30s on the tightest hooks.

This bra does not ... have underwires. If both cups are detached, the whole thing kind of folds down (see pictures). The gore does not tack due to the fact that it is not underwired.

I think I actually may need a 30D in this bra, as I don't seem to fill out the cups entirely. It makes sense for the cups to be roomy as to allow for swelling of the breasts during lactation. The cups are a nice, soft, cotton, I think.

The weaving of ribbon at the top edge of the cup (and the lattice) is cute, BUT it isn't taught and therefore bunches up in some parts.

The shape the bra gives is not the most attractive, but for nursing mothers, I imagine that it is a reasonable compromise for the functionality of a nursing bra. It would be impossible to really design a good shape without the use of underwired gores.

If you are in need of a nursing bra, this seems like a pretty good bra for a reasonable price. If you are not going to be wearing this for nursing purposes, you may want to try multiple cup sizes. I can update this review if I ever get around to getting a cup size down.

EDIT: right after I listed this, I noticed some very light blueish discoloration on the left cup? I'm not sure if it is a stain or something that will come out easily with washing, but I've still knocked the price down a few dollars.
