This review is for the Paramour Ellie in 34G. My ABTF size is 32G/GG UK (or more) depending on projection.

**** NOTE **** Label says 34G but the size index on Bratabase says 34:7 which is 34F.

Band:
* Stretches to 32 when wires start to distort; 33 max. Runs small. Very stretchy.

Wires:
* Comfortable.

Cups:
* Smaller than the stated size. Runs small. One vertical seam. 2 layers non-stretch mesh. Slightly stretchable tiny elastic along neckline to accommodate fit.

Fabric:
* Very comfortable.

Straps:
* The back portion which is adjustable is stretchy, the front is not. It's plain with a delicate seam down the center.

About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow ... roots, very projected at the wire, functionally even to full on bottom, short roots, relatively soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.

FIT

* The band length was really short. I actually had to wear an extender to even fasten it. I'm surprised at this based on my other experiences with Panache. The lace on the band did curl up on my even trying it on. I'm sure for sitting all day it would definitely curl.
* The gore tacked nicely. It was tall for me, but fine. It was narrow enough for me at .75 inches, but I still might prefer to overlay them.
* The cups seem to have the right volume for me, and the tops actually laid down perfectly. The wires are not narrow enough for me and it does not have enough immediate projection for me.
* The straps are long enough.
* The sides are a comfortable height for me.

OVERALL IMPRESSION
* I like this bra very much. The cups are already too wide so I think if I did size up it would definitely be too wide. I also need more immediate projection.

The Paramour Ellie is a weird fit for me. The 34G fits better than the 34H, but the top of the left cup cuts into my left breast whereas the top of the right cup wrinkles along the top of my right breast. The cup is very shallow in the center, so my breasts are pushed (squashed, really) out to my sides; the cup is also shallow on the base along the wire, which causes some more uncomfortable squashing. The straps are set wide and cut into my underarms. It looks beautiful, and it feels like a good quality bra, but the fit does not work for me.

Smidge bit of cutting in at the top of the cup. Lace is firm and petty. The wires are a little wider than I like, but not uncomfortable.

Me: short & narrow roots, center full, close set, pendulous, petite, short waisted, low set, fairly even fullness, narrow shoulders, soft
