Calling all Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675) lovers: I am sad to report that Panache has changed the fit of this bra for 2013. The changes are like this:
1) It now runs about a cup size bigger.
2) Much more roomy in the bottom of the cup.
3) The wings are changed from knit to mesh.
4) The straps have been made thicker and more rigid, with added knit fabric sewn to half of the strap.
I honestly don't mind the wings, though I preferred the knit. But the change in the cups makes me very upset. I am historically hard to fit: small band, big cup, full on top, close-set, deep horizontally and vertically, and narrow-boobed. The Andorra was the ONLY bra that fit my boobs perfectly, and now it doesn't.
Even worse is that Panache denies that the fit has changed. I have asked them about it on Facebook and all they will say is that they have shortened the wires. However, the wires are the same length as always: the wire casing is shorter, but the wires are exactly the same. Panache says that the changes to the cups "shouldn't affect the fit" but it very clearly has and I am so sad. I'm also annoyed at the denial!
If you liked the original Andorra, I urge you to contact Panache and let them know that you want it back. I know this was a popular model.

Interesting. I've been meaning to try out the Andorra for a while now, so this is great info.
What colour is the new fit bra [Fashion or continuity?, where did you purchase it from, and when?
PetitePlentiful it is ALL the colors, continuity and fashion, from 2013 on. So for fashion, Caribbean Blue, Jade Green (Bravissimo exclusive), Spice, etc, and all the continuity colors as well. I have verified it personally with a Pearl, a Jade Green, and 2 Caribbean Blue full cups.
I think it's nuts. Andorra was their most popular style in years, it gained them a lot of market share, because of the fit. Remodeling the whole line 2 years later is ridiculous.
