Continuing on with my Panache kick, I decided to give Olivia a try, in hopes the fit issues I had with the 32H - Panache » Olivia Balconette would go away with the 32GG (I know I praised the crap out of it initially, but after time, its too wide straps and wires become increasingly uncomfortable and didn't break in as I expected with wash and wear). And, pleasant surprise, it fits! The cups are definitely wider than I need, but not as bad as the 32H. The band is perfect -- firm but stretchy. The cups squeeze a bit into my top tissue on my larger breast, but not enough to be a huge problem. With the straps loosened all the way (I'm 5'10" so that's no unusual as is), quadding subsides. The shape isn't as projected and spherical round as my 32GG - Panache » Floris Balconnet Bra (7311) , but is also not as compact as my 32GG - Panache » Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675). The shape is still round, but a bit more natural looking. Under clothes, it looks best under a sweater or heavier fabric. I wouldn't consider it a t-shirt bra by any means.

Aesthetically, it's gorgeous! The apricot color looks fantastic against my super pale skin, and works well under lighter clothes. I also bought the high-waist brief (sale on Amazon!), and the set is sophisticated sexy. I expect this baby to become a staple in bra wardrobe.

This bra is not owned any more

  I'm so glad you like it! I couldnt live with the cutting-in on my bigger side, and decided I really didnt like the way it looked at all. I just bought 2 more floris instead lol I was really expecting to love this bra, but i'm glad at least someone does!

• If my boobs grew even in the slightest, it would definitely be too small! So it's right on the cusp. It's really hard to gauge with many Panache bras the fit right away, because they tend to soften up so much with wash and wear. I think with the recent changes in fit Panache has made, my size in their brand changed, which is why I've been more successful with their bras. I'm glad the Floris works so well with you! It has some beautiful colorways coming out this Fall that I will definitely be snatching up. :D

• I thought this fall was just the space-looking pattern? Is there another?

• Must have been confusing it with Jasmine. Looks like there's only the one: https://2cakesonaplate.wordpress.com/2015/03/06/moda-lingerie-swimwear-show-panache-aw15-collection/

• Yeah, that was the post where I complained about the bras not being labeled in the picture, because 4 pictures with the label only saying "Floris & Jasmine in Abstract, Floral & Snake prints" is pretty confusing to me. Other ppl said they had no idea what I was talking about, not confusing at all.

  I havent really tried a jasmine yet. I think I was handed one in a fitting room once which was way too small and seemed really pointy to me - but so small i just held it over my boobs, so i have no real idea.
