I love this bra! It fits very much like my Cleo Marcie, except the straps are closer to my armpits (which is better than the Marcie). Cute shape, nice felt under the straps. The underwires are sturdy but don't poke. The wires are a bit wide, still, but that doesn't bother me as there is no overspill or anything. Good bra!

This is probably my all-time favourite bra. The cut and appearance are amazing, the only problems I have are the wide strap placement and the loose band (more like a 32). Good for even fullness or FoT boobs, I think, as there's quite a bit of space above the apex that can be hard to fill. Fit me perfectly when I needed a 30JJ in most bras, or a 30J in Cleo's Alexa and Marcie.

I have never really tried many Panache bras. Before now, my only venture had been the Panache Melody in a 30JJ... ...Which was a complete failure. It ran huge in the cups, was more like a 34 back a...

So! I finally got my hands on the much coveted Alexa. It's a bra from sub-brand named Cleo from Panache. It's a beautiful bra and everyone that has worn it has made me so very jealous. The shape is...

Overall, I really love this bra, although I had to make some modifications to get there. I'm a 28, but since this doesn't come in 28JJ or K, I had to make do with a 30J (like pretty much everyone, I sized down on this bra, as the cups run large). So I've had to have the band taken in, but that's pretty par for the course for me. The other big thing is that the straps are too long and stretched quickly into being way too long. I had them taken in, but they didn't take in enough so I will have to ... have them taken in further. Something that I really don't like about this bra is that the adjuster tightens by moving away from the solid part of the band, so you can't cheat and push it up past the elastic, and most of the band is the solid, non-adjustable part. Anyway, /endrant. With the back in and with the straps short enough (I have been using a bra barrette, but it's uncomfortable), the bra is great.

The shape is gorgeous. I really like a round, projected, out-front look, and this delivers. It's not a plunge, but it has low enough coverage that I can wear it with most necklines, and I have gotten compliments from my lady friends about how it looks under several outfits. The wires are somewhat wider than I would like, but more narrow than most I've seen, so that is nice. I still get some poking, unfortunately. The quality seems very high, and I have worn it quite a few times now without any sign of wear on the bra itself. I could use a little more padding on the wires, but I'm not getting any significant discomfort.

I really wish they would make this bra in some basic colors (nude, black, white), as the color and print make it a limited wear bra for me, which is unfortunate, as the shape is great.

Conclusion: adjustments and all aside, I would definitely recommend this bra.

Its too big but I wear it an jiggle anyway because it's the only one in my drawer that doesnt give me a quadboob
I couldnt bare to part with it as it is so pretty and gives that well known cleo shape... I get A LOT of projection though, it is a true shelf bra and I was a bit shy when I wore it to work because it didnt go unoticed. It really puts them out there... And its a great feeling but I would like somthing as pulled in from the sides, but with a tad less projection for everyday wear. Oh, and 3 hooks and wider straps if possible https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
