I nabbed this off Zulily in my sister size of 32F because I adore the look of this bra in the Sepia colourway, but alas, my hopes are in vain and it simply won't fit.

The band is too loose: I need to hook it to the tightest hooks straight out of the bag. I've read that Panache run tight in the band and it helps to size up, but I just find the 32 band Panaches don't feel right. I do need to use an extender on some of their 30 bands, sometimes only one extra row and sometimes all three, but I far prefer that to starting out a bra on the tightest hooks.

The cups are too large, but I'd have to try both the 30FF and the 30F to know which would fit better, because some of the gaping is due to the straps attaching too far to the sides on the cup for me -- but a shorter band would hopefully sort that out at least a little. Experimenting with tightening the band so that the gore tacks better resulted in the cup accommodating my inner fullness and almost filling the cup, so perhaps the 30FF would suit me.

The cups looked quite pointy when they arrived, having only a single vertical seam, but when I put them on (and experimented with the band tightness so I could approximately fill them), they looked like they'd give a lovely round shape.

So disappointed this one didn't work for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is not owned any more
