Gorgeous bra, good material.

Updated on Nov 17, 2016 Flag this

A pretty good choice for my nearly-omega-shaped boobs. Good projection at the wire, lots of projection at the apex, reasonably narrow wires.

My complaints are very me-specific and are:

1) The stretch lace is both good and bad. Good because it eliminates upper quadding, bad because there's a touch of in-cup quad where my apex projection is a little greater than the bra's.

2) Slightly too-wide wires means too-wide straps, which means they're uncomfortable while I'm driving or typing, i.e., the majority of my waking hours.

I wonder if a 30G + extender would help with both of these....or if the strap drop would get worse because they'd be to ... far apart in the back.

All that whining aside, at the moment, this is my best-fitting bra and the one I reach for the most.

I also really like that this pink is a nude on my vampire-pale skin. It would be cool if the straps matched the lace--in fact, I think Panache should do a set of Jasmines with a range of skin-toned lace and straps but coordinating patterend cups and bands as alterna-nude bras. It would be a really cool effect.

Gore tacks, wires encases my wide roots just fine. Band seems extra stretchy - had to clasp on the tightest hooks from the get go. Cups gape slightly at the top when leaning forward/reaching forward. Some wrinkling at bottom of cups despite my FoB breasts. Cute and a bit more comfy (from the looser band) than my other 32FF but doesn't seem quite as supportive. Side profile is more "natural" slightly pointy. Might be listing (NWT!) this one despite the Tango ii being one of the recommended styles for FoB.

Band fits well but cups are too large/projected/full on top for my FoB 1/5 wide roots. Lots of gaping/wrinkles on top. Center gore tacks nicely and side wings cup up high enough to catch my wide roots. For whatever reason, the wider set straps for this particular balconnet feels awful on. Something about the arm scythe and strap combo makes any form of arm movement super restrictive - even more than the Panache Envy. I want to make perfectly clear, it is not the wires poking me as the pain/restriction comes from the straps - right where the armpit would begin.

Bra fits snug around the band but cups are too big in my usual size. Gapping at the top and wrinkles on the bottom. Possibly too projected for my FoB 1/5, wide roots. Straps are wider set than full cup bras but that seems typical for balconettes. Uncomfortable for me but possibly fine for someone accustomed to wearing balconettes. Horizontal seams show through thin flowy shirts.

Purchased used. Beautiful bra - one of a few bras that seem to fit my FoB with wide roots perfectly. Center gore tacks well, with side wings high enough to enclose my breast tissue that's been pushed out from wearing the wrong size for years. Bra creates a more natural side silhouette as opposed the perfectly rounded fully lined types. Note: the horizontal seam does show under thin flowy shirts. I can only imagine the seam will even more pronounced under a tight fitting t-shirt. I am curious how long the stretch lace will last both the stretchiness and how long it will before I poke holes in it.

The stretchy lace on top is definitely appreciated. This fits me well, possibly suiting my shape more than some of the people who are saying the cups are surprisingly deep and might run big? (When I'm a 32, I'm usually a 32FF...)

Comfortable, and the band has stretched only a little more over the months I've owned it.

Very short, projected, even, somewhat narrow, close-set breasts...

This cup is designed for more shallow breasts. Although I adore this deep, saturated pink, there is not room in the bottom of the cup. This fit issue was more pronounced in the 32F. The materials are supportive and beautiful, but they are not soft and they do not adequately distribute the weight of my breasts. More self-supporting tissue, however, may be very comfortable.

Admirably, the cup does not cut into my upper tissue. And, although my more center projected breast experiences some wrinkling, these wrinkles do not show in my knit shirts. Like other Panache/Cleo wires, I do not choose to suffer with them. I expect three columns of fasteners, but there are only two. I appreciate wide, supportive straps, but these are thin and narrow. If you prefer "less bra", this may be perfect for you.

Curvy Kate and Comexim are significantly more comfortable, have better immediate projection, softer fabrics, and less biting wires.

Not enough support in the cups for my boobs, ended up spilling out the middle and couldn't fill the top of the cup.

Unfortunately my boobs are too top heavy for this bra and they spill slightly over the top.

This bra looks very good on and surprisingly fits really well, with the exception of the band size being too big. It is shocking that the bra fits this well since my bra size is only a 30F while this bra size is a 32FF.

This is a nice nude bra for me, but I'm not thrilled with how high the cups come up. Overall the fit is great, though, and it's comfortable to wear. I have relatively firm, evenly-full breasts, and though the lace comes up pretty high (and is not stretchy), I have experienced no quad-boob in this bra.

I remembered liking this bra a lot so I ordered it from a Zulily sale. It really doesn't work for me now. Now that I'm a little bit smaller, it gapes on top, and I just really don't like the shape. The top section really flattens me which also makes it quite pointy.

Very strange on me. Maybe just because it's too small but i suspect the cup shape is wrong also. Orange in a glass, can't get wires into IMF to save my life. Cutting and quadding. Actually comfortable and almost forget I have it on. May try larger cup. Band stretchy and definitely not too tight on second hook.

I honestly don't like the look of this bra on me, but it looks absolutely terrific under shirts. Seriously, the shape is perfect, uplifted and rounded without being too rounded. Very natural looking for a moulded bra. I have the tiniest quadboob on my larger breast which is fine because that means it doesn't gape on my smaller one. The straps feel weirdly tight, even adjusted almost as long as they go. Not sure why that is but it isn't uncomfortable. Gore tacks perfectly, not too high or poking anywhere. The wires/straps are too wide; not sure yet if they're wide enough to be an issue. Will update after a couple hours wear. All in all, very comfortable, albeit not very pretty.

Good fit. Comfortable, with medium support.
Lace is smooth under knit tops, but seams are slightly visible.
Mild downward-pointing shape. Partial side slings create odd tiered shape when viewed from above.

It will give you ALMOST quad-boob, if your boobs are similar to mine; however, it is so pretty and gives such a nice shape and the quadding is not noticeable under clothing, so I don't care! The pattern and colors are gorgeous and it doesn't gap at the top of the cup like most molded cups, such as Freya Deco, do on me. It is also incredibly comfortable, asides from having the reduced breathability all molded cups have. Doesn't poke or pinch anywhere! The band DOES stretch out slightly throughout the day, so if you are struggling to choose a band size, go with the smaller band. EDIT: Ok, I can't overlook the quadboob. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I am so obsessed with this bra. It is a great nude. Cups are a little too far apart for me but I am wearing it anyway. Might take in the gore to bring the cups closer together.

It's pretty, and the fabric's smooth on the skin. I bought my default size (32FF) because I'd heard this band ran a little looser than other Panache bands, and I find that to be true. The problem is that it's still a teensy bit tight for me (I prefer a firm-but-gentle fit), and the cups are maybe a tad odd under the breast.

I'm keeping it. I got it on sale and it's still pretty darn nice. I think it just needs a hook extender and I'm set.

The quadding was so serious that I couldn't really tell much about the fit other than the fact that the wires were nice and narrow enough and the band fit fine. I'm not really sure if this would fit in a cup size up... I couldn't tell if the issue was that the cup was just too small or if it is structured for more of a FOB shape.
