Didn't fit

So! This bra doesn't fit, but it sure is pretty. I'm not really a pink flowers kinda person, but I saw this on sale and had to have it. It was part of Panache 's SS2016 collection so most stores are trying to get rid of it.

My shape/size: 34J (ish), short roots, narrow, projected, soft tissue, pendulous, even to full on bottom, some center fullness (I think).

TLDR this bra would fit: someone with similar breasts to me, but who needs wider wires and has more outer fullness.

It's soft. It's pretty. I really like the extra mesh lining inside the cup. For the love of glorb Panache can you just make your straps fully adjustable and move them in a centimeter or two.

Considering the band is too large (causing the wires to sink past my IMF) I was impressed with how much lift and projection I was able to get. I'm not sure if the pictures really show that, or the odd shape it gave me. I think that shape is due to it being too wide in the wire. I can only describe it as a softened triangle or bullet shape. I couldn't fill the outer half of the cup so there was no roundness, just weird looking flatness before the projection kicked in at the apex/nipple/front of my breast/not sure what the technical term is. I also like how closed it is on top for daily wear; I move around a lot at work so anything that can hold me in when I'm powerwalking or bending over is appreciated. I think on the right person it would give a nice rounded shape too.

Unfortunately, thanks to the shape mismatch I really don't think there's a size this bra would work for me in.

As usual, I have to appreciate the typical Panache GG+ cup touches: extra, soft lining underneath the straps and near the hooks. I'm trying on a Curvy Kate bra right now and it could really use some of those details.

Blush/Floral colorway

    This bra also did weird things to me, but the uplift was insane. In fact, there was way too much of it. I feel ya on those soft fabrics: Curvy Kate has a long way to go to improve fabric softness.
