Wires were so stiff. They jammed into my sternum and underarms. I tried to see if I could bend them away but they were too hard to bend. I did like the stretch lace on top that didn't gape.
Love this bra! It fits aaaaalmost perfectly (cups are just a hair too big), and is comfy!!! I had heard conflicting evidence about panache having stretchy vs. tight bands, so I was hesitant because I don't think the bands go higher than a 40, but I'm glad I still got it because it is quite stretchy and fits very well. I had also heard that the cups run small, so ordered a G (my measured size is on the cusp of FF and G), and like I said it's very slightly too big, but I'm still glad I got the G because I think the FF would have been too small. It's not so big that it's going to be noticeable or a problem.
Gore dug into my sternum. Cups were too big and wrinkled. The bra itself is gorgeous. The version I got was blue with beautiful gold embroidery on it. I wish it had fit.
I got this because when measured the normal way, (full bust-waist= cupsize) this was the size I was told to get, needless to say its to small. Worn only for a few min to try on, tags still attached.
Do you feel that @Andorra gave you a rounded shape? Thanks for the review. Panache Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675) is *another* style I want to try
