I purchased this in the color Azure. It is a beautiful vibrant electric blue. The lace on this bralette is pretty soft and doesn’t seem to bother me much, but I am aware it is near my armpits. More on that when I get to fit. The cup consists of a three part cup. Two lower parts with one upper part. The cup is a lace fabric over a blue mesh. The center gore has a tiny blue bow and it is wire free. The back band is a wide elastic band that has a pink/silver metallic stripe. The inside of the elastic band does not contain the ... silver stripe as seen on the outside. The side wings are a blue stretch mesh that is way more stretchy than the bottom of the band or the elastic above. So if you have some squish like me, you’re gonna see it, as it is shown in my pic. There is a a 2x3 closure. The straps are a satin finish and has a J-hook in the back to convert it to a racer-back. All hardware is blue.

For the fit I do feel the cup runs a little tall and wide where the cup meets strap. I do have another one on the way in one cup down. I am aware the lace is there even though it’s not necessarily itchy. It gives me a more natural pointy shape, not my favorite, I feel covered, but not exactly supported. This may come down to a size issue. The bralette gets the job done for the most part. Now the back band and the noticeable roll I get between the upper and elastic and the lower band elastic does not make me want to wear this out of the house. I also feel the band is on the stretchier side for a 30. I purchased at a discount off of Amazon. This is another bralette, worth the sale price, but I wouldn’t pay full price for this.

Edit to add: Added info for our petite friends. I just noticed on the strap/J-hook section. If you are short and need to adjust these straps even shorter, you won’t be able to utilize the J-hook. It would be pushed up way to high and too close, or even past, your neck to be functional.

I purchased this 30G in the color Vintage. It’s a beautiful dusty mauve color. But woooo this does not fit lol.
Original review in size 30GG found here: http://bra.pe/X5mw/

The cup consists of a three part cup. Two lower parts with one upper part. Because the cup on this is clearly too small it is way too open in front for me. The cup is a lace fabric over a mauve mesh. The center gore has a tiny mauve bow and it is wire free. The center gore on this size is noticeably lower than the 30GG. The back band is a wide elastic band that has ... a pink/silver metallic stripe. The inside of the elastic band does not contain the silver pink/stripe as seen on the outside. The side wings are a mauve stretch mesh that is more stretchy than the bottom of the band or the elastic above. But I do not get the strange roll squish as I do with the size 30GG. There is a a 2x3 closure. The straps are a satin finish and has a J-hook in the back to convert it to a racer-back. This 30G has thinner elastic straps compared to the 30GG. All hardware is mauve.

If you are in between sizes, you might find it a challenge to make this work as there is a clear difference between the construction of a G and a GG bralette.
I still stand by my first review of the 30GG. Great purchase on sale, would not pay full price.

Like i wrote on the same bralette in 28FF - this is so cute and I love the design, but ultimately it doesn't fit me. The cups are too small in addition too the band being fairly tight. This bralette feels too tight because of how the breasts are pushing on the cups because they're too small, so the band or general feeling of the bra becomes artificially/deceptively tight. Full detailed review of this bralette is on the 28FF size.
They made the straps wider and added a hook so you can pull them together in the back, which is a great feature for many people out there ... with short torsos or very sloping shoulders.

This bralette wants to push my breasts to the outer sides of my chest, as if they were east-west pointing. That doesn't work for me at all, and is another reason that I fall out of it - my breasts are placed firmly on the middle of my chest, close together, and can only be pushed up and center (like a Cleo Marcie bra does).

On this bralette I measured the cup depth to 23.5cm. That's an increase of 2cm from the 28FF, which I measured to 21.5cm. Neither are enough for me personally, but these numbers (and subsequently the cups) are also smaller on average than other bras in this size. A Cleo Hettie in 28G has a cup depth of 26.5cm and a 28G Panache Jasmine has a cup depth of 27cm, and a 28G Freya Soiree Lace High Apex bra has a cup depth of 25.5cm.

The Zebra print isn't your standard black and white, instead its earthy brown and a pinky-beige - really lovely. I had no fit issues with the solid colours (Azure, Caramel, Vintage) bar some slight overspill at the centre front due to my fullness, which I am used to and expect from styles like this, but this one seems to fit even better? It feels almost like there's more depth in the cup as I don't get even a slight overspill like I did in the others.

I only added this to the website so I could measure it and add more data, but it didn't fit my friend so I ended up returning it anyway.

The quality and design is as usual, excellent, and what I expect from the brand. I can't say for the comfort as I didn't try this on, but the other Lyzy Vibe styles I tried in my size range were not comfortable. This didn't fit my friend, who's closer to a 28D, but a 30E was all I could find.

A small update: It fit my friend in the band, it was comfortable for her, but the cups were much too big. I suspect she has more of a projected shape, but is still a 28C/D so this cup was too wide and too large for her.

This bra is incredibly cute and the design is so alluring, but it doesn't fit me and it's so frustrating.
They made the straps wider and the lace cuter and more sturdy, but the cup depth is much smaller than average wired bras in this size, in addition to a third vertical seam that makes it a 3-part cup.

DESIGN: The quality is as per usual from Panache excellent. No complaints there. Since receiving feedback on the Lyzy they widened the straps and added hooks so you can pull them together, if you have a short torso. The bralette is adorable, it looks so cute. The bright blue ... is very summery and there's a gold stripe through the band that's just such a nice touch. The lace pattern is more "tropical" in a sense - it's cuter. The band's material is both thicker and wider, and they added a square/rectangular piece of stretch mesh fabric next to the end of the cup. I like it, it makes the bra feel more sturdy, and it's a good improvement from the original Lyzy which has a triangular sloping fabric after the cups end.

FIT: Considering how comfy the original Cleo Lyzy was, the fact that I spill out of this feels like the end of the world. They added a third, vertical seam in the middle of the cup between the two other ones. This seam changes the shape and fit of the cup to mimic a 3-part wired cup more, which in theory is a clever move, but in reality doesn't work out. The Cleo Marcie is sort of famous for its 3-part cup design which gives that rounded and lifted look, and as a general rule, wired bras that have these seams and this style tend to fit me. So while the new seam was a clever idea, what ends up happening is that it lifts and pushes my boobs up and to the middle of the bralette. That makes me spill out, because the bralette doesn't have enough fabric/the right shape of fabric to hold the breasts in place in the middle.

EDIT AFTER MEASURING: it's not just the seam - the cup depth is much smaller than wired bras are on average in this size. It might not be the seam, but rather the immediate lack of depth. The cup depth of this one is 21cm, where a Cleo Marcie in 28FF is 25cm.

In the original Lyzy, the boobs droop a little compared to a wired bra because they rest in the bralette fabric like a hammock. In this Lyzy, I thought the shape was the only problem - but after measuring it turns out that the cup is indeed too small. I tried this in 28G as well and it was still too small, the cup depth increased by 2 cm but still wasn't enough for my boobs. If i shake my shoulders, my breasts fall out of the cups.

Considering the past few new bras I've tried haven't fit me (Freya Expression Plunge, Cleo Asher), it feels even more frustrating that this doesn't fit. Finally they make a bralette for bigger busts and when they change the design to be objectively cuter, it. doesn't. fit. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I can only hope they continue making the regular Cleo Lyzy, or consider making the cups bigger or changing the seams.
I'm wondering if I should send a mail to Panache and explain the difference between the two, or just leave a review on Brastop.
