It's ok. I had high hopes for this bra, as it's become clear to me that balconies don't work all that well for me, so I was looking forward to trying a fullcup. Eh. I will say that this bra has helped me figure out exactly what cup-section shape(s) work best for me. On this one the satin (more supportive part) makes sort of a circular shape at the top, with lace above it, and the lace part extends to the outside edge of the cup. It has one vertical seem in the satin part, fairly close to the middle. I really need a side support panel, or a bottom ...section that goes more diagonally up to the edge of the cup and has a vertical seem closer to the outside of the cup.
The lace edging is pretty but a little scratchy. It doesn't cover as much as you might expect from being a fullcup, but the straps are still angled out (defeating what I was looking for in a fullcup). The band is the more supportive, smooth, satiny material, which I like. (I don't like "powermesh" bands that much.) Read more 80 more words
Quite a pretty bra, I bought this one about 2 years ago, it fitted me perfectly at the time, however I quickly outgrew the cups.
With my recent weight loss I tried it on again - cups are still a bit on the small side, but looks like I might not be too far away from fitting it again. The cups are pretty close set together which I like. I do recollect that the wires at the centre gore dig into by bone due to being a bit high for my liking - this is a common complaint when I try Panache bras.
This bra comes close to fitting me. I wind up making it fit more like a full coverage bra by erring on the larger cups size and tightening the straps all the way. This makes the cup a better angle for me. Unfortunately this also makes the edge of the cup under my arms come up super high. This is both uncomfortable, and makes it show under clothing.
The embroidery does show under clothing a little, though I think not quite as much as with the two-tone. Like all my similar Panache bras, the underwires are very stiff, and the bit of band underneath the cup rolls up and is scratchy.
This is a nice bra, pretty spring colors, as a print, not embroidery (hurray!). It has an embroidered lace detail along the top edge of the cup. This edge detail does stick up and out from the cups a little. The cups are double layer mesh, and the band is single layer mesh. There is a small band edge sticking out from the bottom of the underwire. The underwires are thick and stiff, though maybe not quite as much as some other Panache bras.
I think this is probably a great bra for the right person, it just isn't quite right for me. It almost fits me, but the wires dig in on the outside, and the band is still a bit big. (Which is too bad, because I got it for clearance price and I was really hoping it would work.)
