The Cleo Lucy in a 28FF only stretches to about 28" (not 29" like bratabase data suggests, some of the data is probably from older, well-loved bras). Sounds typical for Panache, so I should have payed attention before I bought this!

The purple colorway is gorgeous, and the little details on the bra are very pretty. I've found that some of the embroidery on the cups shows through a thin t-shirt just enough to annoy me, but that's not a big deal most of the time. The cups lift and round quite well; the fabric is stiff and very secure. I'm a fan of the up front and rounded look that this gives.

The gore is my only real complaint about this bra. It is too wide for me, but it also folds over on itself because it is so unstable! I don't think this would be a problem for someone with more separate boobs than mine; also, the instability of the gore means that alterations should be super simple.

Those who want to use an extender, be warned: the hooks are closer together on this (and the other 28 band Panache bras I've tried) than on the average bra.

This bra is not owned any more
