Didn't fit

Holy Wide Wires!

Comparing to my Ewa Michalak BM Chilli https://www.bratabase.com/bra/dngbo/, which should only be one cup smaller (30G in Panache vs 32F in Ewa) as the Chilli bra is a band size up...the underwire on the Panache is 1.8 inches longer, whoa!

I'm attaching pictures where you can see: there is space in between where my breast root ends, and where the wire continues past my breast root on the side. Well past where my breast root ends, lol. there's also a little space underneath my breast - more so than with the Ewas - I'm guessing this is because of the shape of the wires. I know the underwires can be bent slightly at the bottom, to ensure a better fit since in the mailing of the bra, it was probably smooshed flat. But I didn't bother b/c the wires on the side are SO WIDE, I'm going to send it back anyways.

Maybe the Envy is more the "average root" person and my roots are quite narrow.

The cups are comfy though, +1 for the Envy.

The band - yea!!! Finally a band that fits good (I have been wearing 32's mostly, and I now realize - I am just not a 32. With a 29" measurement, I have to at least wear a 30 band.

I'm not sure that the fabric is a little stiffer b/c of the dark dye (this one is navy) compared to the Nude envy I tried on in size 30FF, but it stretches TTS. The design is quite flattering, and the stretch lace helps with breast asymmetry (yea!).

Overall, a solid bra, it looks good. However, the wires were just too wide. I ordered this to determine if I am a 30G (I seem to be in between 30FF and 30G r.n.).

Ewa Michalak might be the brand for me. Her bras are $70 min. Not complaining about the price b/c they are quality, it's just that I usually have to order them from Europe to have a decent price, not in Canada.

    BraOdyssey i personally find panache wires to be wide, tall, and very stiff and painful. LOL. Cleo bras on the other hand, seem to work better for me in terms of width and gore. But now I can’t deal with anything that isn’t Polish. sigh

    margesimpson, I've never tried Cleo! I like the look of Cleo Spencer bra, but I would have to sister-size up to purchase it. It's on the Belle-Lingerie Ebay store r.n. I'm addicted to checking Ebay for bras, lol.

    BraOdyssey too funny I literally just bought a bra from belle lingerie. I need to slow down the bra shopping lol

    LOL, I’m in the gotta -slow - down- the - bra- buying boat too, and yes, despite this, I am still obsessively checking EBay for bras. Aaaack!

    I also check Comexim.pl, and Ewa-Michalak.pl for sales, lol. Can't forget the Polish brands!

    dagmarwulfe , but it is a little addicting to check Ebay, lol. You'll never know what you'll find! And once it's gone, it's gone.

I'm not sure if I am "filled well on the bottom" of cup, or if that is just b/c the underwire is SO WIDE the cups feel comfortable though. I'm not sure if the bottom of the cup has *some space* just b/c the side is SO WIDE, in center of body under arm

Cup's width:
There is empty fabric on the sides (Cup too wide)
