Super comfortable, straps are a little too stretchy, the cups are too small for me.

Lovely looking bra. Band is little bit too loose and cups are one to two sizes too small. I'd like to try different size of these.

Girly bra with a cute pattern and lace along the top but isn't overly girly. Love that I've found a bra that I love that isn't a push up bra.

I LOVE this bra! Very pretty, very comfy.
It fits very very similarly to the Juna, which it's a sister cut of, but I find that the cups are perhaps even a smidge smaller than in the Juna: the lace lies flat on one side (a sign of a too-small cup in the Juna), whereas in the Juna it bubbles on that same cup. It's not enough for me to size up, though.This bra is not owned any more

This bra fit well. It gives a nice, rounded shape. The cups didn't leave enough room my full- on- bottom breasts, producing the "orange in a glass" effect. The top edge of the actual cup lays flat against my chest, however the decorative lace sticks out at an odd angle.

Bought this one from a fellow Bratabasian. Cut & sized like the Juna (which I like very much) but suffers from the same issue as my Panache Andorra full-cups: the wires seem a little too short for the channel resulting in a weird crease where the fabric pulls the underwire channel towards the front. In the Andorras, I thought it was because the cups were too small (they are) but the Darcy fits better, so that's not it. I don't know if it's just this particular bra, or if this is a common condition in the Panache line; it is much less significant on my Juna's. Other than that, it's cute, comfy and surprisingly practical given the busy colorway & lace along the top of the cups. I like that it's lined, gives good shape, feels supportive. I wish it had 3-4 hooks & a tad more lift. Could do with an HH maybe.
A keeper.This bra is not owned any more

my go-to bra right now. I've had it a few months.. My current bra collection is two bras since I'm in the middle of some weight loss with still about 15lb to go, so I'm not sure where my size will end up. I previously thought I had shallow breasts (I guess I do.. but I guess they're closer to 'average' than shallow) and bought this bra because it was recommended for those with shallower breasts. I've never been able to fill out the bottom of the cup, and when I shove the underwire up so that it meets perfectly with the bottom of my breast, the bra moves itself down over time. it feels somewhat tight sometimes, though. I've never had quad-boob with it, but its right on the verge of being too small for me, though I feel an entire cupsize up (32F) would probably be wayy too large. overall it's a comfy bra and worth the purchase if you definitely have somewhat-shallow breasts.

This bra fits beautifully in every direction. I had to add an extender only because the loosest setting was a little *too* tight, but it'll soon stretch out not to be a problem.
This was the first bra I tried on, and I had no idea what to expect, so I initially found all of these "problems", but nope, no problems at all! (Although the straps are weirdly small; I couldn't extend them if I wanted to.)Updated on May 17, 2013 Flag this

Love at first wear.
Well constructed, vertical seams, lightly padded. The cups fit me perfectly. The lace doesn't always lie completely flat, especially at the gore, so it's not the perfect t-shirt bra. But, it's the most darn near perfect fit I've had.
The pattern is sweet and adorable. I was more concerned with trying this shape of Cleo then I was with the pattern, but it is much more attractive in person. I love the navy and red combo.Updated on May 15, 2013 Flag this

Oh how I wish the Darcy Padded Balconette fit me right! I absolutely love the pattern. It's cute without being TOO ~whimsical. The material is also very comfortable, and the cup width is good without being too tall in the armpits. However, I either need to go up a cup size or the cup shape is too shallow. The quad-boob the Darcy gives me is... shall we say, epic? At first it didn't seem so bad. Then I threw on a top and after a little while, noticed with dismay that I had four boobs

But not one to give ... up so easily, I tried it on again last night, thinking maybe it wasn't as bad as I remembered. It wasn't... it was WORSE. Like, from the side my tits form a "B" worse. It's not even the lace edging the cups causing this, because the lace stretches. It seems the top of the cups cut in just so, while the cups are just shallow enough to cause the perfect storm of boob spillage.
The band is also on the bigger side of 30. I felt the most comfortable on the tightest hooks. Do they even make this bra in a 28? Anyway, were I to give Darcy another chance, it would have to be in like a 28H or 30GG, not my "default" size of 30G.
