I really love this bra! It is the most comfortable panache/cleo bra I've tried. The Gore is not too high or wide for me which is often an issue I have with panache/cleo. I love the shape it gives too. Unfortunately this is a discontinued style. If anyone knows of they have a current version of this or something similar please let me know!

I do sometimes get a small gap near where the strap and cup meet depending on the position of my arms but it can't be seen through clothes and I have a dent in my breast tissue right there so this is sometimes unavoidable, so I'm not counting that as a fit issues, especially because this bra is so freaking comfortable.

The band is not as firm as many panache bands but it is tts.

Blue/aqua colorway

  Thanks! Gna go look. If I can find 1-2 more this bra will definitely become my daily driver.

  Lexi had a similar shape and is also discontinued but there are still some available on ebay.

  Thanks. I'm a little unsure if the lexi will work for me. I've heard it was more shallow than the maddie but when I compare the measurements they are almost identical. It does seem like the lexi is more closed on top though. So I worry that it'd cut in. Might be worth a try if I can find it from somewhere with easy returns or through ebay with a seller who accepts returns but eBay is always risky.
  I did buy another maddie on ebay though. In pink because why be reasonable and buy the nude that I really need when I can get bright pink! 😂

  I found with my extra wide, & generally tall roots that Lexi is really good for short breasts and rather open on top with a little upepr shaping to keep one from spilling out, whereas Maddie has the right proportions for tall root but is just too tall for a short projected breast. For anyone who needs a lot of direct projection from the wire out rather than an extended depth only at the nips, it would have been perfect if there was something in between both of these styles. If you are in a normal to narrow root width the upper is less likely to curl inward as hard from pressure at the bottom of the cup straining to deal with a wide full root. if you are more Omega it could work really well in the right measureme

  I got a little lost in that comment. You're saying the lexi is better for tall and narrow roots?

• Lexi is not narrow at all. I'd say that Maddie is the narrower and more full on top friendly between both styles- it has a smaller wire that's more U shaped and expects a front-facing & vertically deep breast that might be more self supporting. The upper cup on Maddie isn't as wide as Lexi, so I've found that it will also cut in if it's too small. It reminds me somewhat of the old VS dream angels but more supportive. I'd also venture Maddie's shape is closer to Cleo Mimi which I put up with till I got Comexims and abandoned all molded styles. Anyhow in all the sizes I've tried of both Maddie & Lexi, the Lexi has a longer wire that's short for it's size, and the cups look built for a shorter, wider breast; the upper hem on top flips back inward a little which seems like it is for someone whose immediately full with short or shallow roots; someone with a lot of apex projection that could benefit from having a little more containment on top. The foam felt more resistant than Maddie but I might have worn my Maddies to death and softened them up. Lexi is closer to the Panache Tango's shape. I'd only heard of Lexi in this last year so most of my experiences with it are during a long growth period where immediate depth and a very projected lower cup made all the difference in how the top of a style would fit, or not fit.
