Didn't fit
Technically this bra fits, but it does nothing for my shape, particularly in the area of "lift". The cups are wide and shallow, which will accommodate well those of us with wide roots and shallow breasts.
The worst thing I've noticed about this bra is after a few regular wearings the center gore has warped at an angle that tilts it away from my rib cage at its bottom, and stabs into my sternum at its top. I cannot identify exactly what's wrong about this center gore, but I can tell you it's the most painful gore I've yet encountered. It is the right length and width for me, but the weak wires cause it to deform very quickly. Compared to my Panache bra, this Panache Cleo bra feels like it's constructed with inferior materials.
From my bra fitting experiences, I feel Juna's cups are designed fairly well for the "small" end of the "large-cup-wide-root-shallow" spectrum, where designers often assumesmaller cups sizes are also narrow at the root and/or short. However, unless you get absolutely no "side spill" ever, Juna's side wings are too short relative to the height of the cups. Also, for me, the underwires are too short.
I realize I don't have the firmest tissue (or even "firm" tissue) but balconettes often work nicely for me. As long as the underwires enclose all my breasts, and/or the side wings are tall enough to prevent side-escape, even some slightly deeper cups can work for me. This bra, which "ought" to work for me, falls short, literally, in wing height and underwire length, and the center gore is just miserable.
This bra is not owned any more
