This bra is in the black colorway. This is perhaps the first bra I've ever bought that gapped on both breasts. It's at least a cup too big. It's also way too much bra for me. The gore is far too tall, the wings are too tall, the wires are too wide. On the bottom I have no problem with depth and I do get the "Marcie shape": uber round. I can't tell if the band is more stretchy than other Panaches or if I've lost weight. I might be moving into the 38 range as I've recently had to fasten more bras on ... the last hook (could also be wishful thinking). Anyway I could fasten this one fairly comfortably and usually I need an extender.
My size in Panache is generally 40HH so I'm not sure what's up here. I was thinking about buying one in a 38HH but the measurements on Bratabase aren't much different. The 36J seems to be more in line with what I need but then I'm back to needing an extender plus strap slippage because the extender will move them farther towards my shoulder.
On top of it all, I am not impressed with the quality. Specifically, where the straps join to the cup there is this big ugly lump because the cup fabric is folded over there. The fabric is also quite stiff. Sorry Marcie. I think I'll have to stick with Curvy Kate's narrow wires.
