Orianne's fit is not unlike the Duck Egg Panache Clara Full Cup Bra (7255) . The overall style of the bra is much more full cup tho'; the coverage reminds me of some of my old Elomi bras, and the gore is a whopping 5," where I'm used to 4. Not uncomfortable, but this will absolutely be an issue with those who are very close set. I do have a small amount of tissue it rests on at the very top but it's not an issue. The wire also comes up quite high under my arms and around my sides (this really is FULL COVERAGE), so if you have an issue with sensitivity in these areas/prefer less coverage you'll want to skip Orianne.

The wires are maybe .25" wider than I need; I can fit a finger width between where the wire ends and where my tissue does. But like the Clara I get a super round shape from Orianne, while also giving plenty of projection at the wire.

The color scheme and design is very classy and elegant. Super dark teal on soft gold organic leaf and vine shapes; not exactly floral, which I'm totally fine with. And the matching bottoms are microfiber, SO SOFT. They offer more coverage than the Clara, Envy, or Jasmine briefs without getting into high waisted territory. Which I also really appreciate.

I've worn this a few times and am super happy with my purchase. Also, totally worth it to pick up a second pair of the super comfy bottoms.

Teal/Gold colorway

  Thanks for your review - very helpful. I had my eye on Orianne as she is so beautiful, but I don't think that tall gore will work for me. I may yet try Clara in duck egg.

• bliz I wear the duck egg Clara in a 30H and while I love how it looks on the hanger I do want to warn you that it wears out really quickly. I had to force the adjuster over the lace filigree at the top of the strap recently because it had stretched out and wasn't supportive. The band also stretched out much faster than I expected, especially for a PA bra. I was expecting a band more similar to the Envy (my favorite bra) but I'm having to go on the second hook already, and I don't even wear it that often! I also don't put it in the dryer or spin it. I still like it because I think it's a beautiful color and I figured out how to push the adjuster past the stitch point, but I don't think I would buy another one (and I'm really tempted by the navy blue that came out and the red that's coming out this season).

• bliz I also work at a bra boutique in Richmond, Virginia and a lot of women have come in saying they don't like the bra or that they had issues with it because of the looseness.
