The fabric is very thin, so the wires can poke. However, it is supportive and gives me a great shape.

I'm still working on figuring out my best fit, and although based on my measurements, my recommended band is a 28, I find I much prefer a 30 band. This bra was too tight, pinching my back and folding the skin there. However, the cup was almost perfect. Enough quad boobing to bug me if I inhaled, but the top of the cup lay flat on exhale. The wires were also just slightly too short on the sides for me, leaving breast tissue to spill over the top. I might try this bra in a 30DD, though - going up a band and cup size may fix all the slight issues and make it perfect.

This used to fit very well when I was 35 pounds heavier 4 months ago... now there is a whole bunch of nonsense happening all up in there. It is still a very good quality bra, though, and it looks very pretty.

Gives a pointy illusion I don't like. The underwires are so uncomfortable.

I have so many good things to say about this bra.
Its very soft feeling on the inside, straps are soft and comfortable, and its really pretty.
On the down side, the lace shows under light tops, do the nipples wont ( I have dark nipples), I wouldn't recommend it for t shirts.
the elastic an the sides and at the band its really stiff, and really firm (first weeks it wont give lots of stretch) it cutted the first time I wore it. and the center gore is painful!! its a good idea to bend it lightly to the outside.
I ordered a 32GG, since I herd the cup runned ... small.
I'm 33 under bust and 40 over bust. I you are an in between sizes like me I really recommend buying a bra extender (I did after, and it fit OK, no more cutting. not my best fit but it was ok), or going up a band size, and down a cup size to maintain the same cup volume, but your bra is going to last a bit less longer.
I have a bit of a issue with this bra, it fits me well at my bigger boob ( a bit loos at top, not noticeable) and at the smaller a lot more loose and its noticeable, Ill fix it with a stitch.
I guess the worst thing of all is that since I have a high set of breast the center is really tall on me and painful after a while

Band runs very small. Stretched length is only 30 inches. Paired this with a band extender and it fit beautifully, but beware of short band length! Wires are a tad bit too wide for me, and the center gore is a bit tall/wide also, it digs a little. Overall a pretty good fit, but I think I'll be returning this and sizing up to a 34E.

I had been looking for this colour of Lucy for months! I am generally a 32 band in Cleo, but since I had been looking for this one so long I decided to give the 30GG a shot. It turns out that the Lucy tends to have a stretchy band, and it fit! It was a great moment for me, but something wasn't right... Well I've learnt that above G bands in Cleo, the bra straps get wider... Well then. I mean, it is okay, it's just not my favourite, it makes the appearance less than perfect. I like thin straps, the band is all the main support I need. Other than the disappointment about the straps, this bra is all around a perfect fit, a 32G might be a bit looser than recommended, but I'd still trade this one for a 32G. By the way, why the arbitrary change? A 30GG is the same cup size as a 32G, or a 34FF! Yet those have this straps? I will be sticking to 32G's in the future with Panache.

A very cute bra! Perhaps about a cup size up would fit me better - the gore floats a bit and I'm a little squished in the center. However, even with that, the top of the cup lays flat and I don't have an issue with quadboob.

I like how dainty this is, despite being a larger cup size. It doesn't come up high on the chest or sides like a Freya design. Very pretty.
The shape is nice and round and separated. It is kind of minimized since there isn't a lot of projection. Ideal for an everyday bra.
Other reviewers weren't kidding about the firm band. The material is very non-stretch, both in the cups and the band. I hope they become softer after a few washes and wears. I felt it fit true to size in the cups. *EDIT: After a year of wear, the band is still very very firm and tight.
Interestingly because of the design, my breasts push the wires in the center gore together so even though they'd be too wide, the just fabric material self-adjusts to my width. I included a picture of this.This bra is not owned any more
