Whoa. The zipper. I found myself contorting my face into a myriad of positions while desperately trying to raise the zipper 1/2". Center full ladies, just move on. I spent more time fastening this one item than I spent on my entire morning routine. I brushed my teeth and hair, smeared on lip gloss, dressed, and affixed my hat in less time than required to fasten this one bra. And, when Bratabase demanded proof that this size and model existed in reality, I almost abandoned the bra because I didn't want to zip it AGAIN for photos. Deep breath.

The support is great. I love the fuschia color. The fabric is soft. All my tissue is covered and compressed. There are two hooks attached to the zipper casing that will prevent escapees. The band is lined in a soft, plush elastic. The straps do not adjust, but fit my somewhat petite frame well. And, despite the lengthy zipping process, I would adopt this bra if not for one glaring detraction: the cup height causes discomfort under my arm. Ouch.

Synopsis: Less center full breasts will more quickly zip into this bra. If you have center full breasts, add comedy to your life. You may require two more hands and you may guffaw....and snort as I did. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

This bra is not owned any more

  It's unfortunate that it took so long to zip up. I have a Panache sport that is so hard to hook up in the back that I was looking at zip up ones. I'm center-full and a similar size as you so I think I'll give this one a pass-I'm almost too lazy to do up 3 hooks, I can't imagine trying to spend 5+ minutes zipping myself up!

  I had to tuck the girls under my arms so I could see the blasted zipper, and they kept returning to "front and center." Your idea to "pass" is sanity preserving ;-)

  An Amazon review mentioned zipping first and pulling it overhead, but that leaves me with sore breasts.

  Love4Pollinators I can't even imagine zipping first and then pulling it over my head. The band would either have to be way too big or I'd get stuck. I like my Panache Sport-it works pretty well the clasp is just super weird.

• Is your Panache wired or unwired? I tried the unwired and couldn't breathe in a 30". Need to try a 32" next :-)

  I have the underwired version. I hope to take photos and get a review up tomorrow. Getting up at 4 in the morning means it's too dark to take photos before work so I've been sitting on this one for a week or so. I'd say it fits relatively true to size.

  Bratabase didn't believe the size because the manufacturer says it doesn't exist :P
