Very comfortable, and really very pretty. Lace bras in larger sizes sometimes look grandma-ish but this is super cute. It gives a very round, slightly minimized shape, which I like. I have a lot of outer fullness, and although it does bring them forward, it's not super upfront (this took some getting used to, but it looks very natural). The material is lace but was not itchy at all, even for my super-sensitive skin. In case it is not clear, this bra is not padded or lined AT ALL, which is not a bad thing but is not clear in the photos!
A full-coverage, contoured-cup bra with relatively narrow wires and lots of projection at the apex. Would probably suit women with average-to-narrow, average-to-short roots. Please note: The wire is very rigid, so don't expect it to stretch beyond the 6.5 inches I measured.
I should know better than to try contour bras on my soft tissue, but I was seduced by the hope of a T-shirt bra with what seemed to me to be narrow enough wires. Unlike Elomi bras I've tried, whose cups measure at 6.5 inches but stretch much wider, this Panache underwire doesn't budge at all. Couple that with the firm and deep cups, and you have a bra that will either fit you perfectly ... or not fit you at all.
The cup is very deep -- it can accommodate a lot of bottom projection, which is what drew me to this bra. The stretch lace is said to be good for top fullness, and in a way it's good for lack of top fullness as well, since it's more likely to conform of the breast rather than maintaining a rigid shape. That said, I recently became more FOB through weight loss and that really screwed up the fit of the bra. The lace wrinkles too much and the cup is pointy at the horizontal seam because I can't fill out the top.
The gore was quite stabby to begin with, but a little gentle bending (not with pliers or anything) helped with that.
When I got this bra 6 months ago from a bra transfer I didn't like the way it fit. But now months later it seems to fit me better. It actually is pretty comfortable and I really love the color! My only complaints are the wires are a bit too wide for my narrow boobs. And also, I don't care for the side panels. They kind of give me a slight weird shape. But I really think this is one of the sturdiest bras I have ever owned.
Well, this bra does not quite fit me. The cups are a bit loose, and the center gore is too high and digs in a bit uncomfortably, although it isn't horrible. This is a far better fit than the old 38Cs that I used to wear, and the cups are nice and wide for me (I have shallow boobs). The underwire comes up nice and high, so no side-boob escapes. If you like wide wires and a high gore, I would recommend this, but I prefer narrow and slightly lower myself. The fabric is silky soft, and the lace is comfortable as well. The straps are cushy, and they stay put. It also gives me a funny shape, but I am fairly certain that is a fit issue, rather than a fault in the bra.
The Panache Harmony is a beautiful cornflower blue with tone-on-tone swirly embroidery. It is so buttery soft, I wish it fit! The straps are fully adjustable. I purchased this years ago when trying to figure out my size but neglected to return it.
I want so much to Love this bra. But it just doesn't feel quite right.
The look of it is gorgeous. I love the black with multicolour bird brint.
it gives a VERY upfront look. and feels supportive. But I was looking for a nice rounded shape as I have seen many describing they get with this bra. I have seen so many rave reviews, I was excited when I found it on sale and decided to give it a go. The band is a little big. I would normally go for a 36 band in Panache. However I have seen many say it runs tight or firm in the ...band. So as the store did not have a 36 FF, I decided to try the 38 F. The band does feel a bit like it will ride up and looks a little that way. But its the shape it gives me, that i am not happy with. I feel like maybe its a bit too deep for me. Its not too bad on my larger side and slightly more rounded. But the other side seems more pointed and there is a little bit of empty space at the top of the cup where the lace meets the other fabric. And a little bit of wrinkling at the side.
EDIT: I decided to send this back and ended up finding a 36FF elsewhere. am still assessing the fit of it. Read more 130 more words
Thgis bra is way to big in the cups and the band was a bit snug for me. Going to return it to Nordstrom. I'm sure they're great bras though as popular as they are.
No support at all. It is definitely too big in the band - I know now I should be in a 34. Cups give quadboob already so would have to size up several cup sizes. Wrong size (my fault) aside, I haven't been tempted to reorder. Pretty embroidery but scratchy fabric.
