Didn't fit

I got a great deal on this bra from someone who ordered the wrong size from (zulilly maybe?). Its a discontinued bra (and super cheap on amazon right now). While most reviewers found the band to run tight, this 30 runs large - the previous owner measured it at 32, but I measured it at 31.5. While i could close it without an extender, I felt the cups were slightly flattened, so I used an extender for the pictures and will wear an extender for probably the first month or so.

As you can see from the pictures, the fit of this bra is just 'eh'. Other women in the larger cup range also commented that this is just the least supportive Panache we've seen. Now, the cup also might run a tad big - it measures in between my 32JJ cups, but is a bit loose on top. But definitely a droopy sort of fit for me.

I actually like the lace pattern, but its basically just a beige bra. However - I do not currently own any beige bras that fit! So at least I can wear that white shirt without the color of the bra being visible!

I will keep it for a beige option and an easy-wear option. Not exciting, but worth it for the price I paid.

I wonder if an Ewa pad in the bottom would help?

This bra is not owned any more

  • Do you sew at all? Even by hand? I swear I have seen the perfect tutorial for fixing this exact problem on a blog and the girl (woman, sorry. I'm 30 and still call my peers girl) hand sewed and little seam in the cups and it totally changed the shape and supported her breasts more. Hopefully my rambling will spark someone else's memory and they will post the link because I can't for the life if me remember who it was.

  • I have a plain beige bra that fits similarly, it's about right most of the time to changes of a 1/4 to a half cup size larger than I'd like based on where I am with weight fluctuation.
    Padding might help, if you have some handy, try them and let us know if it improves the fit!

  • I've tacked the top of the cup to the gore or strap before to get a better fit on top.
