I have two of these in 28FF and I like them! This one is the magenta colourway. I'm in love with the cute stretch lace and satin bow and the "perky" shape I get. This is supposedly a full cup bra but doesn't feel stuffy. The two colours measure and feel a bit differently - this one had much stiffer underwires and rode down, making it feel a little too snug despite measuring an inch longer laid flat. I lasted an hour or two before changing to the black one. Maybe it will bend around my ribcage.
Even though there is room at the bottom and sides the bra gives lots of lift and has my breasts right where I'd like them to be. There's something going on above the lace, but I'm not sure it's quadboob so much as just chest tissue. After some reading I wonder if I have short roots. Another telltale sign of short roots seems to be the gapping I have at the straps when I roll my shoulders forward.
This has a nice low profile under a tshirt.
The centre gore is a little itchy - just the magenta one as far as I can tell! The lace on the band flips up, which I don't notice until I take pictures.

  I think you have very tall roots! The lace cuts in slightly to those tall roots but no worries if that doesn’t bother you! It looks lovely on you, great color.

  Thank you so much cupandahalf , shape is confusing as heck :P projection, fullness and root height/width are presenting a learning curve. Even though that's probably right what matters is I feel good and thanks for the compliment!

• I also went through the same process of trying different sizes of Andorra trying to find my best fit, and she's a tricky one! I have the same colorway you do, and it's a pretty color :)

  Given that you have tall roots and Andorra is just not a very forgiving shape, have you tried the Envy? I feel that it might be a better fit for you, because Envy's stretch lace cups are really forgiving in my experience. Even though the lace pattern is different, I feel that it gives a similar overall appearance.

  Other suggestion would be to scour Ebay or Amazon for the Andorra Plunge, which has a different cup construction and won't give you that closed-off top. Sadly it's discontinued, but you can still find several floating around.

• belleandblues that's a good idea. I'll keep an eye out for the plunge! Now that you mention it I have a 28G Envy that's in rotation and seems to fit well on top. I'll have to see when I wear it again if that's the same for me too. It's obviously the wrong size but the band fits and the stretchy lace makes it work somehow. That's another one I plan to keep an eye on for internet sales.

• namedoesntmatter I just got my Andorra Plunge today in my normal Andorra Full Cup size, 28DD. I can tell you that the cups fit pretty TTS compared to Andorra Full Cup, but the band runs a little smaller. This band is less than 1/2" on the flat too small, and it's distorting the underwires and making them dig in! So, I am going to sister size up to a 30D. If you order Andorra Plunge, keep this in mind.

  I think 28FF Envy would fit pretty similarly to your current Andorra! Hope it works out for you. I love the Panache stretch lace, it's so comfortable :)

• Oh, that's good to know belleandblues . Me too, it's so nice.

• So I'd probably be fine ordering a 30F if I see one. And I'd really like a nude Panache Envy. I'd better remember to take pictures next time I wear my 28G

• Actually, I checked the measurements. 28FF’s stretched band is 0.8” longer than mine, and your ribcage is about 0.7” smaller than mine, so I think 28FF would be fine for you in Andorra Plunge, but if you feel 28FF already feels snug to you, 30F would probably work better. I think the Andorras fit really similarly in the cups across sister sizes, so it’s really just about the band. I knew before I ordered it that the band was a little smaller in the Plunge, but I didn’t think it would be so small it would cause me fit issues! I am usually in between 28 and 30 bands though depending on fit and style, but you seem more like a true 28.

  The cup is really nice though, and the bottom curved portion is a little taller on the Plunge. It doesn’t project out as severely as regular Andorra, so the shape of the bra cup is naturally more round than conical.

  I don’t think the lace top cup would cut into your tall roots at all because the cup is not closed at the top. I really do not know why they discontinued this style!

• belleandblues in any case, I could use an extender if the 28's too tight. It's a beautiful bra :) - why indeed!
