Haven't worn extensively, but for me the gore won't tack and causes issues with the cups. Pretty and seems mostly comfortable.

This is the second time I've bought this bra. My first was 40H - Sculptresse » Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695). I loved the band so much I really wanted to try it again. It still doesn't fit a size up. I think the shape is just off for me. Because the sides are wide but press me towards the center I get this strange flat side. My breasts are then funneled into this squarish box on the bottom and spill into the stretch lace at the top. It could be I need to size up but I think the bottom has too much lift and not enough space, so a shape issue. Still, I may try it in a 42HH to see if I can get more bottom space. Honestly, I just like be the band so much. If I could get only bras with this band I would be happy.

I LOVE THIS BRA!!! Too bad the cups are too small. It was purchased for an event to wear under a dress with a sheer v-neck - PERFECT for that! Unfortunately, there is a slight quad boob under round-neck tops. Sadly, when I realized this and called my local store to reserve a 36HH, I was told that there is no HH for bands below 38" in this range. Such a pity, because if I could get the perfect fit in the cups, this would be my favourite bra!!

The Chi Chi is a full figure version of the Panache Jasmine so you could try the Jasmine in a 36HH and see how it fits.

Oh, also try the Curvy Kate Ellace (CK4401) , it's really soft and comfy with a stretch lace top and comes in black as well as latte and white.

cupandahalf thanks again!! I will definitely look for these 2 when I go shopping! I know I loved the Jasmine way back when I was a G cup, so that must be why the Chi Chi felt so right! I haven't seen that Curvy Kate bra - excited to check it out! 😊

cupandahalf I just bought a Jasmine! LOVE, thank you!

This does not fit like the Kitty bra I own in the same size. The cups are a different cut with two panels on the bottom, a side support on the edge, and a stretch lace top. The back band is a soft silky material the same as the cups of my @Sculptresse Pure rather than a power mesh. The cups are a very firm nylon. It's not scratchy but it is pretty durable feeling. The lace is soft and does not cut in. The straps are a thick padded material and only the back is stretchy and adjustable. Like the rest of the Sculptresse line, this "nude" is not a nude for me but would be perfect on a woman with a medium skin tone. I can't comment on the shape as it is not in my size and there is quadding in the cup as well as out of the cup. I also have some sort of crazy boxy shape I can't figure out. When I size up I will see about the shape.

Totally unsure why this bra doesn't fit me very well...on paper and wrt the measurements, it should be perfect, but it's not! I have a lot of spillage out of the sides and armpit area, and the band feels really tight. Unsure if it's worth trying the 40FF or not.

The bra was great quality as with all Panache Sculptresse bras are. The sports bra is literally my favorite and most comfortable bra. I've seen Chi Chi recommended for those of us with wide rooted, pendulous and projected breasts occasionally on r/ABraThatFits. However, the bra made my breasts look very pointy. I definitely would not recommend for those with a similar shape to mine.

I find that this bra fits true to size generally, though the band is snug. The lace on the top of the cups accommodates asymmetry really nicely. The only issue I have with this bra is that the cup seam between the lace and the other fabric is visible through clothes. In terms of shape, this bra pushes breasts up and center (more centering than Logan and more lift than Nico).

I bought this bra and returned it because the seam where the lace meets the main cup fabric was incredibly defined and apparent through my sweater. I also found that this bra created an unflattering shape for me, not giving me much lift but pushing my breasts into a conical, pointy shape.

This looks like it fits so much better than the other three you've posted.
