That's it, Anna Pardal / Comexim all the way from now on. I took the plunge (har har) and have no regrets.

This is the standard plunge. The 32 band is perfect. The underwires are exactly the width of my breasts (which are narrow for sure! any narrower would not work). The bra is comfortable, the resulting shape is rounded and looks good under clothes, and the materials are much nicer than any other comparably priced bra that I own.

Update 7/18: Bra is great but the band really stretched out pretty quickly. I'm on the tightest hook and I don't think there's much life left here.

I'm spoiled now. This bra fits so well. I have narrow, close-set breasts and this is perfect. I may never return to Panache...

The wires are definitely narrow. For me, this is right on the edge - narrower wouldn't work, but most underwires are too wide for me. I typically accept this as a minor issue in other bras, since it doesn't really affect my comfort, but it's so nice to have underwires that don't go halfway around my side.

I feel secure in this bra (my day job involves a lot of walking around, reaching, etc., and I never adjusted throughout the day). ... The materials are nice and high quality (this is a great deal for the price, compared to my usual Cleo/Panache). The design is lovely.

Ordered from Erica at Sophisticated Pair - I'll be ordering from her again!

Sizing: I typically wear 30DD in Panache, but 32DD is perfect here.

Update 7/18: Like the other Anna Pardal/Comexim bras, the band stretched out on this one. I thought quickly but I guess it was a few years... This bra is now too loose for comfortable daily wear https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Me: close set, shallow, full on bottom.

Nice material, comfortable, and a nice shade of pale pink (and I hate pink!). Generally fits pretty well. There's a little bit of space on the bottom of the cups (but I also tried a 30DD which was way too small) and the lace gets itchy if I get sweaty. These are minor complaints.

Hibiscus longline in Nuance Plunge (gore is lower and straps are closer together). Lower gore is an improvement, but the straps being closer is worse. Back to the Classic Plunge next time.

There are only two rows of hooks. I already had to use the tightest row, surprisingly - maybe because I'm used to corsets, it doesn't feel very tight. The gore isn't quite tacking but that's acceptable to me. The elastic cuts into my breasts a little at the top of the cup but that's also acceptable.

Material is excellent as usual from Anna Pardal and the bra is gorgeous. Next to see how it wears over time. So far I've been very happy with all Anna Pardal bras.

This bra is simply not right for my breast shape. There's a ton of space at the top of the cup and the material billows out strangely. When I got it, I was a cup size larger and it kind of worked okay (and I didn't have much else that fit) so I wore it for a while. After a few wears and washes, strange white threads started appearing in the mesh. The bra now looks very strange. Very disappointing...

Crazy cleavage here! The materials are super fancy (and clearly much better quality than basically everything else I own) although the straps are boring elastic in comparison. I think this is comfortable but I do like quite a firm band. Fits pretty well although I do find myself coming out of the cups a little bit by the end of the day.

Finally reviewing this bra - it's held up well over almost two years, now showing some minor signs of wear but the band is still tight and generally it looks nice.

I bought this when I was still buying 30E but was really more like a 30DD. This style/colorway seems to run a little small - other Panache 30E are consistently one cup size too large for me, but this one fits. Generally quite comfortable, and the stretch lace on the top lies nicely flat. The gore is too high, which I knew in advance, but I don't mind.

Lilac/grey colorway

I love this bra! Super comfortable (the elusive "it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a bra" feeling) and nice materials. I don't quite fill the top of the cup (not surprising given my extremely bottom heavy breast shape) but it's not a significant problem. Also the straps are super cute - but definitely wider than most bras I have.

Edit: After about 6 months, the straps may have stretched out - they aren't fully adjustable. They are now on the tightest setting, but sometimes fall off during the day.

Very cute bra, nice materials, but definitely intended for FOT breasts. There is a large amount of space at the top of the cup that I just can't fill.

Lots of cleavage when wearing this bra! My breasts fill the cup nicely with no need to readjust over the course of the day. The band is on the tight side - I do like firm bands but this is just a bit too tight for my taste. I'm still hoping it will stretch out (worn about 10 times so far) but it's fine for most of a day.
