Didn't fit

I’ve been looking for a good unlined, structured cup bra to wear during these hot Texas summers, instead of my standard lightly lined molded ups, and have recently been trying to explore a range of different sizes. I have been a pretty consistent 30C but I always measure closer to 30D (or 28D/DD). I decided to order this bra to try out.

Pros: love the fabric, the overall appearance of the style, the support, and the structure of the cups.

Cons: embroidery shows through clothing, band is stretchier than I expected from a 30, and the sides are a touch high and sometimes dig in a little bit when I move.

The main issue I found with this bra is that the cups have extra fabric on me at the top, and don’t fit perfectly. The underwire size feels perfect and the bottom and sides of the cups give me a nice rounded, lifted shape which I love. However, the top of both cups have extra fabric. Since I purchased the bra directly from another user and not from a store, I decided to alter it myself by tucking the extra fabric from the top of the cup and sewing it in place. After this alteration, the bra looks and feels great! Definitely recommend this bra if the shape works for you.

I really enjoy this bra and would like to try sizing down to 28D in order to get a snugger band and smaller upper cup, though I am a little unsure if the underwire will end up being too small. Overall, my first Panache bra has been a pleasant surprise.

=============================

Update:

After trying on some brand new 30D Tango II, Tango, and other bras in the 28D/DD - 30D range, I now realize this bra is way too big for me. The band is as loose as my "comfortable" 30C/32B bras feels, meaning there's no support at all as my breasts slide around and don't stay properly in the cup. No matter what, the Tango's shape is not for me, being way too projected, and the fabric is too stiff to be forgiving for a less than optimal shape.

While my altered Tango described in this post is comfortable, it definitely is far from a good fit!

Band is too loose, cups are totally the wrong shape and give orange in a glass effect, though the cup width is not as bad as on the Ruby bra

Top of the cup:
Wrinkles, can't quite fill it
Band fit:
The back of the bra is not at the same level as the front (rides up)
