Got this bra in a trade - beautiful but does not fit like my other Panache's

Updated on Jul 10, 2014 Flag this

This bra very nearly fits. The gore tacks. The wires aren't too wide or too narrow. The band is firm. Alas, this bra was made for someone more projected or FOT than I. The upper portion of the cups, which ought to lie against my skin, instead gape loosely like some sort of festive (yet pathetic) boob ruffle.

HHNNNNG. this bra fits me so well. It is so comfortable and is more convenient than the full cup one I own because I can now wear lower cut tops. I just wish that Panache would make it in basic colors like nude and black. The coral is cute, but sometimes I practicality first.

Came back today to say I am wearing it right now and I am so comfortable. It is literally the most comfortable bra I own, I would wear it every day if that wasn't gross.

I love the material--much softer than the @Panache Andorra (which fits me, but it's a bit scratchy). The shape is very good, not completely round but nice and "up front and center." And the wires are a great shape for me.

But I'm getting a little bit of wrinkling on the bottom of the cup. This bra doesn't have quite enough immediate projection, so I'm waiting for the Panache Envy to arrive in the mail before I decide for sure to keep this one.

This bra, like so many of Panache's superbras, is wide in the wire and shallow in the cup. It seemed to fit when I first put it on, but with a narrow/projected shape, ended up being quite painful after an hour or two of wear.

The straps are quite thin - so as a projected shape pushes against the cup and pulls down on the straps, it can become a torture device for the wrong shape chest. I didn't feel supported at all, but this is probably due to shape incompatibility between my bust and the bra.

However, it is a nice looking bra - the mint and lavender color combination is really nice, so if you generally fit well in the superbra line, this is a nice addition.

The band is great, I love the 3 columns of hooks to distribute the weight more evenly.

The shape is pretty good--decently round. Note that to achieve this shape, as well as to have enough immediate projection, I had to go up a cup size from what I think I would otherwise wear--the 30GG wrinkled a bit on the bottom and wanted to slide down on me.

But because I went up a 30H, the wires are a little too wide for me, which I believe is what is causing my breasts to point outwards a little, giving me less of that front-and-center projection I get with ... @Cleo Marcie. I don't get much cleavage with Andorra. But this has its uses with v-neck shirts where I don't necessarily WANT to show a lot of cleavage, so I'm OK with it.

Comfort-wise, the underwire on one side is poking me a bit after wearing all day and it's a bit scratchy overall, but it's brand new, so I'm hoping it will soften up a little with wear and washing. The straps are also a bit wide on the larger cup size, although I was surprised that it didn't chafe at all on my arms.

I love this bra. It is super comfortable and the colours and embroidery are beautiful. The under-wire and center gorse sit really well and don't dig in and the cup is the perfect for me and gives a nice shape. The only thing i don't like is the little bit of material below the under-wire which can sometimes roll underneath the under-wire. Aside from this its an amazing bra.

I only have one problem with this bra: the center gore is too high up and pokes me. But I'm always having problems with the gore area because my breasts are so close together. even when the gore is as close as it can possibly be made, its still too wide for me. the alternative, a plunge style, doesn't really appeal as my breasts need more seperation to keep from falling out of the cup.

on any case, this is as close to perfect as I've seen from any bra to date. I will be wearing this bra with an extender to ensure that the wires aren't too wide and the gore is as narrow as possible, but that doesn't bother me; in fact, I'm hoping it means that I'll be able to wear it longer, since I'll have more rows of hooks to work with. And I love the pretty color. it's unique, but also neutral enough that it wont show beneath most shirts. I'm really excited for this bra.

Not the right shape for my breasts, and did not offer the support I needed. I have heavy, pendulous, soft breasts and the shape issue caused the bra to be pulled too far across my chest, resulting in a tight/uncomfortable fit and I spilled out all over the place.

Material is comfy. Bra is on the cuter end of "plain". Would prefer to see 3 hooks on this cupsize.

Although this bra technically fits well (wire, cups, etc), it gives me a horrendous "sad face" shape. I buy bras to give me a lifted shape. Not a low sad shape. It was even worse under clothing!
It is pretty comfortable, but the gore does tend to press in and resulting in uncomfortable pressure. If I was going to keep this bra, I would just slightly bend out the center gore for comfort.

Though the band fits, the band covering the wire is particularly wide and the lower edge can cut into my skin uncomfortably if I don't adjust it exactly right when I put the bra on (or after reclining, bending, etc). I'm happy enough with the support, and the bra and I seem to be getting used to each other so that the wire cover is less uncomfortable after a few wears.

I lost a lot of weight recently, so this was just too big. The band definitely runs big, so I would go down a band and up a cup. I think the cup may run slightly big. It gives a reallly great smooth lovely round shape under tops, probably the best of any bra I've tried. I also got this in 30GG which I will review, and talk more about the straps and comfort on that one.

I mention on the review for the 30HH version of this that I initially thought the Jasmine ran small in the cups. That's because the band is so tight that it stretches the underwires wider than it should, pulling the cups too tightly in the front and making them appear smaller than they are. With an extender, the cups fit as they should. Note that the photos are of the both sizes without the extender, so the cups don't fit as nicely as they do with one. I'll likely order the new color of the Jasmine in a 32GG.

The gore is one of the narrowest of the full ... cup Panache bras I've encountered, and the underwires don't come up as high. The shape is nicely round and mostly invisible under shirts.

As mentioned above, the band runs tight, as well as quite firm. If between band sizes, round up.

I've just begun to break in this bra, but I think it may become a favorite for my wide, close-set bust. I will say that it feels slightly snug, but it looks as if it's a great fit, so I'm hoping it just needs to be broken in.

This bra is a good everyday bra. The first day a wore it I was feeling uncomfortable because the band was very itchy and the wires were poking in my sternum but after that first day I didn’t have problems any more, and it became a very comfortable bra. I also like the fact it pushes my breasts in front but also keeps them separated. So I like the shape, the comfort and lift it gives me.

Best plunge I've found so far - works with even my lowest cut tops. The bottom of the cup creases, but is full. The cups are a little bit wide, but that's helpful for keeping breast tissue in a plunge. After a while my breasts will fall towards the center, but works better than most. Super comfortable straps and band.

Gives a pointy-boob look. Not good for narrow-set breasts. Pokes in the underarm. Runs tights.

This is one of my favorite bras. It is beautiful, sexy, feminine and comfortable! This is an all day bra, very comfortable and supportive. The fabric is beautiful and you just feel like wearing it!

I bought two of these from breakoutbras, that's how much I love this bra... It gives you great cleavage too. You would think that since the top part is sheer, it would not provide much support, but it is supportive. Another good bra to wear to work. Plus it is gorgeous!!

I really like this bra. It is a lovely pattern (i have the navy blue with oriental flowers colourway)
It comfortably fits all of my breast tissue into it, and has a nice wide back strap to prevent back -fat.
However, for me the central gore is a problem. Until i tried to wear bras that fit my boobs, i didn't really notice how close my boobs were to one another. the central gore on this bra, (and all of my others!) is too wide and high for my boobs, meaning it digs into my sternum.
Despite the slight uncomfort re central gore, i would say this bra fits me well. It gives a good shape and my boobs are very secure. When i jump i get barely any movement which is quite incredible for a normal bra!
