Pretty comfy all around, small gapping in top of cups.

Updated on Jul 11, 2014 Flag this

im sort of up in the air about this bra- it *seems* like it fits technically...but it feels off somehow. the band is snug but not painful, the cups lay pretty nice (looks juuust on the edge of cutting in on my larger side- but not noticeable under clothes and hey, bigger side), and the straps aren't so far in my pits i cant move. its a basic beige bra, and i definitely need at least one in my wardrobe.

i do feel like the wires press into my sides a little uncomfortably- possibly because the band is still snug. its worse on my smaller right side. i havent ... worn the bra for any period of time aside from trying on, so i cant be sure if it would change when the band wore a bit. it seems like they slope up a little to quickly at the ends maybe? Pretty lost here.

i dont feel particularly supported by this bra. it looks like my breasts are trying to sag over the under wires a little, and i don't have a lot of breast tissue or what i would consider heavy breasts, so im not sure why that is. i think i may submit a fit request when i get my camera back. maybe sizing up in the cup would work, or perhaps i need a different style entirely. this is one of many bra orders from Bare Necessities that i will either have to return or ell, if i cant get it to work https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This is a pretty bra with a lace edging detail along the top of the cups. My average bra size is 34F and the size I tried on was labeled as 34F in both US and UK sizing. The band fit true to size however the cup is was too small creating a well defined quad-boob that no amount of scooping, jiggling or tucking would fix! I would recommend going up a cup size if you are interested in this bra.

My measurements seem to indicate a larger cup size, so I thought I'd give this a try in a 34F. Unfortunately the cup is too large. It wrinkles at the center seam at the apex, top of the cup with the lace, and at the side panel. This bra offers nice side support for my splayed breasts, but it brings my breasts too close together for the gore. The gore ends up angling slightly to rest on the base of on my breasts. It's not really uncomfortable, just noticeable.

My very favorite! excellent look to the profile

The lace on the top of the Panache Melody Fullcup flattens the tops of my boobs to create a semi-quadboob. The band is a little loose and the wires are too wide for me. It is so comfortable though! I love the smooth material that is a little thicker than typical unlined bras.

The wires in the Panache Jasmine in 34F are too wide for me and they come up too high in the front. Additionally, I can't quite fill the top.

The Panache Tango Ii Balconette in 34F has way too much extra room in the cup for me. The 32F also has extra room but the wires cut in too narrow for me.

The Panache Jasmine in 34F is so comfortable. The only issue for me is gaping at the top. The lace doesn't lay flat and the wrinkles look silly under clothing. Now that I'm being picky, I would like to receive a little more lift from the bra.

The Panache Andorra in 34F works great as an everyday bra. The only two downsides for me are I get a lot of nipple show through and the lace comes up too high for me to wear with a lot of my lower cut shirts.

I really wanted to love this bra, so much that I fooled myself into thinking it worked for me when it didn't.

I love the subtle bird/plant print and the soft stretchy lace in the upper section. I fill both the lower section and the upper section well, with no digging in along the seam between them. The profile it gives me is mostly fine.

However, the seam between the side support section and the rest of the cup does dig into my soft breasts, distorting the shape slightly (and I feel like it can't be good for my breasts, though it doesn't actually hurt). The underwire comes up too high under my arm and in the centre. And the bra moves about during the day and is uncomfortable after a few hours' wear. Some of these problems might be solved with a smaller band but I don't think they all would.

I've had the bra for a few months and worn it a few times, but I am now going to pass it on.

I'm really pleasantly surprised with this bra - it's reputation for fitting no one seems almost as great at the Cleo Jude! The wire width is very comfortable, and my soft-like-pudding breasts fill the cups nicely. The embroidery on the cups does give a faintly lumpy appearance over my breasts when I wear a thin t-shirt, though. Also, this is the stretchiest band that I have ever encountered. I totally sized down!

Although this particular bra no longer fits since my cup size has gone up, the Andorra is still my go to bra - in the correct size, of course! It gives a nice rounded shape with the slightest bit of pointiness, which I like. The bands stay taut for a very long time; I've had the Andorra I'm wearing right now for about six months and just recently moved to the second hook. The overall lace is beautiful and subtle; the colors are rich and classic. The fabrics have a thick, luxurious feel - not like cheap polyester at all. Over time, however, the lace does fray a bit. Also, the 34GG Andorra I wear now has three hooks but the 34f only has two, which I think is a little skimpy. Overall, however, an excellent bra, perfect for any situation.

This bra never really fit me. I always thought it was beautiful, but the straps just won't get short enough. Even when I was the proper size, the cups fit wrong (not particularly too big or small, more like the depth was off). The band was fine for when I was that size.

Online when I saw this was the fit experts second choice I felt a bit blah about it and in person I still felt a bit blah about the bra. On this bra is another story! The band is a bit big, but the cups seem pretty spot on (slight, slight gaping under the rim of the cup). I think that in a 32FF this bra would fit quite nicely (especially if I have any tissue migration or monthly fluctuation in size, that tiny bit of extra room will come in useful). Still on the fence, but I think I'll likely order this in 32FF.

Got this one in Chocolate. I really love the style and I think it can suit my boobs well! The feel of the fabric is lovely and the lace is gorgeous! Sadly this one is the wrong size (still trying to find my correct one!). Underwires go back far enough on the sides that they seem to hold everything well there, but I have massive quadboob.. lol. I'm starting to bulge out of my 34F Deco too though it fit well the first week or so, so migration? I also feel that I could easily fasten it on the middle hook and probably go just fine on the tightest, so I'll be looking into bras with tighter bands and bigger cups.

The band is much looser than other Panache 34's I own. I think it's because of the smoother satiny mesh that is part of the "luxe". I usually wear new 34's on the loosest hook. I can fasten this on the tightest but am comfortable on the 2nd. The cups are also slightly larger than other Panache models I own. Not so noticeable on my larger breast, but on my smaller one I really had to scoop hard to mostly fill the cup. It's not a deal breaker as I can just pad the smaller side. The bra is very smooth and soft. Plus it's absolutely gorgeous! I could probably go down a cup size ... Maybe. But I think a whole band size would be too small.

Band runs tight, but stretches out quickly - like I put it on with an extender and 10 minutes later I could fasten it. Cup is perfectly sized. Band adjusts 1/2 way, but fine for me. Beautiful colors. Dark teal background with dark and light pink floral embroidery with matching silk ribbon bow at center gore. Comfortable so far - no poking anywhere. Sides are high & I get no side spill.

This bra is awesome! I think I finally found the right size in Panache. The bra is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous sheer lace and embroidery. The band is very stretchy, but stays in place firmly and comfortably. No poking or scratching anywhere.
