For me, this is a perfect fit in every respect, the first bra I have had in a number or years that I could say that about.

I normally wear 34KK so the cup runs probably a size smaller. I tried the 34KK as well as the 34L, 34KK gave me a bit of a 4-boob effect, the 34L is a comfortable snug fit on my boobs. Likewise the band is a perfectly snug fit round my torso, it doesn't have a lot of stretch but I like it that way.

Doesn't poke in between the boobs, this has been a particular problem on Panache.

unfortunately since I last reviewed this bra in October 2011, my boobs have grown again, so while it's still perfectly snug round my torso, my boobs are spilling out over the top and sides of the cups.

A balconette bra by Bravissimo, the Alana is in bigger cup sizes quite full coverage. The bra is a good construction that supports and lifts boobs very well.
I had a few of those over the years, it was not my favorite bra, but it did it's job well.
The straps were a bit too seperated and the cups a bit too wide at the sides, but I have that with every bra. I also found the shape under a t-shirt to be good from the side, very round but a bit too east-west from the front. I recommend sizing up 1-2 cup sizes in this expecially if you have full - on - top boobs.

It is "an okay fit". Only issue is the center gore not lying flat, but it is almost always the case for me. It is very comfortable and all in all a good everyday bra. The moccha colour is a great nude for black women of various skin tones.

The cups are small. They fit more like a 34J that a 34L.
