My breast shape is narrow, projected, even, centre-full, soft and pendulous. This bra is an almost-fit, but the cups don't have enough volume to accommodate my breasts - there is not enough room at the apex or in the centre. This bra is trying to squish my breasts up into a more rounded shape, so there spillage of tissue in the centre and the gore is floating. It seems that the cups are not a good match for my shape, or I need to go up in size. I'm afraid if I go up in cup size, the wires will be too wide. At this size, the wires are decently narrow and not too high under my arms.
This is one of the more comfortable Panache bras that I've tried, however the band is pretty tight for a 38 - I used an extender to be comfortable.

Band fits very snug compared to some brands. I measure 40" snug underbust and vary from 36 to 40 band depending on style. I would need a 40 band in this style if they made it. May try Sculptresse DeeDee which looks very similar.

Love this bra and would probably have enjoyed it if I had ordered it in the proper size. The raspberry color is amazing.

The gore is a little narrow and the rather tight band is slowly loosening. The issue with the center gore stabbing into my sternum should be fixed once I bend it out a little. Otherwise, this is my best fitting bra so far. I really like the pleasant rounded shape it gives.
