Panache Fern & Ariza arrived...
The Panache Fern & Ariza I ordered last Thursday already arrived. It was the fastest shipping I ever experienced from the UK! I could definitely recommend that Ebay seller.
I was so eager to try them on instantly. Of course they were both an epic fail on me, like always. I’m kind of frustrated now.
The Fern is better than expected I really liked it but I had an issue with empty fabric on top and that lace on the edge of the cups did stick out weirdly. I seems to be too big.
The Ariza however was much too small! The band is a bit too tight; I could fasten it but have to wear it with an extender first. The cups are too small there is serious quadraboob. I don’t know what other size I should try? One band size up? 1 or 2 cup sizes?
But I think it is really a size issue and both bras do have potiential. So I will ask for fitting help for both bras later.

i too have just ordered the Panache Fern! i was unsure about sizing, because i couldn't really find any good reviews and Bratabase doesn't have one in my size to look at the measurements :( On figleaves etc people seemed to say that the cups were smaller than usual - is that what you thought?
did you order both bras in your 'normal' size??
There are indeed very few reviews on the Fern. I'll plan to write one as soon I have time. But I have to figure out my size in this bra first.
I read that it runs small so I sized up to 30K. I usually wear a 30JJ (32J if the band runs small) in Panache. Some reviews said also that the band runs small but I find that is not the case. It's like the average 30 band you expect. It measured unstretched 68cm / stretched 84cm so I think it's an average 30 band.
In the Ariza I sized up to 32J, which was definately a good idea because that band is really firm and does not stretch much. I probably couln't wear Ariza in a 30 band.
