When I saw it announced as a bralette for bigger busts, i was, naturally, overjoyed. God I was so excited to receive this in the mail! Now, once I did receive it in the mail, I was disappointed at first because the band had to be tight for it to bear the weight of my boobs - I had originally expected a wireless bralette thing I could wear without being concerned about the band size, but in hindsight now that I've worn it for a while - it was an unrealistic expectation.
FIT: Being wireless it's obviously not going to be so tight against the body, but since this is a 30 band from Panache, I wear it on the middle row of hooks. I could wear it on the innermost if I wanted to but middle seems just perfect- not tight enough that I notice I'm wearing it, but not loose enough that it rides up.
The fit though, is simply, excellent. I can wear this for so long. Usually my rib cage starts to get tired of wearing a wired bra after 6-10 hours, but this bralette I can wear forever and ever. It's especially perfect for days where my skin is a little dry or sensitive and I don't feel like having wires pressing on me. This is one of, if not THE bra, that I truly do not notice when I wear it. A bra that fits shouldn't be noticeable when you wear it, yet you should feel supported and comfortable. This bralette is just that - it's so comfy I forget I'm wearing it. When I shake my shoulders I don't fall out.
The boobs rest in the bralette like it's a hammock and it doesn't look as sexy under shirts, but I will happily offer that up for the sake of comfort!
DESIGN: The dark blue and soft pink are nice contrasts, it looks great in pictures. In person however the pink is a little too soft/pale and it could easily be more saturated. I'm very pale though and it looks good with my skin tone, so I don't really have any big complaints there!
The triangular high apex cups are nice, I appreciate the overall visual construction of this bralette. The band is wide and actually has horizontal stripes of black running through it. And of course, let's not forget the bow in the middle! I love this little design detail that bras have, a bow or a charm where the cups meet is so cute. This is a cute bow style too. The cups are lined with the usual elastic cup mesh fabric, and the innermost edges are lined with some lace for decoration. 8/10 cute.
The wing next to the cup is one big triangle, as opposed to being a square/rectangle of mesh like all the wired bras have, and it's made of the same outer fabric (lace) as the cup. It doesn't look bad, but I worry about where the strap meets the wing fabric - I've been wearing this for a little while now and it looks like this could be a place of wear. I feel like the straps could be thicker, but having tried the Cleo Lyzy Vibe that has thicker straps, it doesn't really matter that much. The straps look thin or flimsy, but they're not.

ISSUES: After measuring this, the same one in 30F and then measuring the Lyzy Vibe in 28FF and G, I have concluded that the cup depth is much smaller than usual for bras in these sizes. The 30FF fits me well enough, but when my breasts increase in size because of my cycle, I could do with a 30G.
My usual size is 28FF for small boobs and 28G for big boobs, but I can wear 30FF instead of 28G.
