I'm soft, short rooted, center full, pendulous, projected, and narrowish.

This is a padded/lined half cup bra. I love the black pinstriping fabric overlay on top of the red padding. The lace on the top of the cups sticks up a bit, and it matches the lace on the bottom of the gore and where the hooks meet the eyes.

The straps are a touch wide set, and rub against my tail of spence on both sides. They're a simple black strap that fully adjust. I think the straps are a touch short, so that's something to look out for.

The red bow on the gore has a cute clear stone charm on it. Gore doesn't tack by about 2 fingers on me, but that's pretty par for the course. I've only been able to get Panache and Ewa Michalak to get close. I do love the black on black pinstriping on the gore, and at the top the wires are right next to each other.

The wires in the cups themselves are slightly thinner than other wires I have come across, and the cup feels narrow for a 36H. Not as stiff as Panache wires, not as soft as Freya's.

The cup is a touch tall on me with a little bit of empty space where the cup meets the strap, but not a dealbreaker. Someone with a more average root would be fine in this bra. Bottom of the cup is shallow, and I think if I wore it longer than trying it on, I would fold the bottom over the wire. This is not as shallow as Freya's half cups. Seams are very visible through tight clothing. Internally the cup is a 3 part half cup design. I do get a nice rounded shape in this bra, rounded on the sides

I do think the bottom of the band is tighter than the top and it is snug on me, so maybe a touch of uneven tension in the band, it is an exact 36 stretched out. 3 rows of hooks as well.

This bra is not owned any more

• Hi! I know you sort of touched on this in the review, but would you say this fits similarly to a 36H Panache? Is it true to size? Thanks :)

• Which panache? It fits wide and shallowish, but is true to size. I was a bit short rooted for it, and had gaping along the top, which is why I returned it.

• Panache Ariza or Floris...or Cleo Darcy/.Juna? Thanks :)

• Very much like the Juna.
