SS2014/SS2015 - Unpadded balconette with animal printed cups
More...
This bra is discontinued.
Thought I ordered a 30D, got a 32D. Can't fill out cups so not sure how accurate my impression is, but I feel like this one might not have worked out anyway. Cups are way too wide for me, and the gore wants to slant sideways against one of my breasts.

I've never had a balconnet bra, so I wasn't expecting the gore to hurt so much!! I'm not sure if it's because the band is too small (doesn't seem like it) or if the gore is too high or too low...?

The band is fairly firm, as I expected. It is very comfortable, even the center gore, which is moderately tall on me. Doesn't dig in on me. One cup size too small I think, get a bit of quadding out the top. I am hoping to get this in a 30GG, it is so cute! I generally do NOT like unlined bras, but I think I can make an exception for this one! The wings are too low on the sides, but I'm thinking should be ok in the correct cup size.

I love everything about this bra, but the way it fits me. The straps are constantly buckling, folding in half, or falling off. The underwires hurt my rib cage, and the band leaves heliotropic bruises and hot spots on my back.
I'm going to call this a brand mismatch; all the numbers say this should fit. However I constantly have these fit problems with panache. My ribs are prone to overlapping or "twisting" when too much pressure is on them. This overlaps is extremely painful, and wearing panache makes it a daily event.
I've tried all different sizes and cuts, but i always run into this, so the only thing for me to do is avoid panache. I adore the cut, colors, material and design of this bra, but it's too painful for me personally.

So, even though this bra is slightly large for me I'm keeping it for my bigger boob part of the month.
I seem to be in between sizes at the moment, especially in my pms week, and some of my 32FF cleos (Kira and Minnie) are slightly small in the cups. It's not by much, but due to the cup construction my nipple causes a bit of in cup quadding where it hits the horizontal seam. So I figured sizing up should solve this problem.
This bra is a small 32G, and the bottom cup comes up just high enough to cover my nipple and prevent that anoyjng in cup quadding. The lace at the top is a bit loose, but when I adjust the straps it's not noticable under clothes.

This bra fit well, but I didn't like the shape it gives. It moves breasts completely in and up, it does give clevage but the overall shape is weird.

I think this bra may just be the wrong shape. Over projected maybe? Band is firm and fits great. Fabric is comfortable and I just adore the colors and print! The issue is the cups. I have wrinkling and extra space at the top where the lace is. It also forces my boobs within my frame and from the top looking down my cleavage is distorted and my breasts look long and pointed. It's not as noticeable from the front. If I pull the wires wider from under my arms (forcing the cup to become wider and more shallow) it looks great!! Smooth on top, rounded and no ... quading. So is the bra over projected and too narrow? Could bending the wires out help or should I return it? If I return it, would going down a cup size to a 30D possibly work? I really love this bra and want it to fit or would like to find it in a size that does. Or maybe another Cleo unpadded style. Would really like to find a non padded bra that works for my fob very deflated breasts.

Thanks DB. I've been curious to try the curvy Kate's but they look so high in the wires and gore that I'm afraid to invest in one without being able to try it on first. My frame is very petite and my boobs USED to be quite large but after a 35 pound weight loss they are now deflated with a lot of soft tissue and extra skin. Trying to find a shape that works has been quite the challenge!
Makes sense. I hope to have a problem something like that some time! I'm so sick of the size of my boobs, and I know if I could lose 20 lb they'd get at least a bit smaller - but then the shape would probably change too.
Yeah I always imagined if I lost weight Id have these awesome smaller premier boobs but unfortunately at 35 it just doesn't work that way :-( I joke around with my girl friends in reference to my "sad puppy ears" Lol! But I am happy to be fit and feeling healthy so that's what really counts I suppose.
*perkier.
lol premier boobs are probably perky! I'm 15 years older than you are and spent a full decade nursing my 3 kids . . . and i dont think I've been perky since I was 16.
Love the design / print / look of this bra, but the fit is a bit off. Not sure what to make of it.
It's a bit small and the build of the cup, mostly the upper lace part, doesn't really agree with my boobs.
After swoop & scoop, I'm definitely bulging out of it. The floral lace part is too closed off on top for me and it cuts in. But at the same time, after only a few minutes of 'relaxed' wear there's small wrinkles in the upper cup. Like my boobs are pushing the lacey part down?
I'm considering if sizing up would help, but I guess the lace part will only be bigger and looser, = more wrinkles?
Have also thought of moving the straps a bit more inward, and maybe (partly) attaching them to the lace bit.

The cups are a little too shallow for me and don't have the immediate projection I need. The band is a bit too loose overall, but wearable around for short periods before it rides up. The straps are kind of pathetic. They hold the bra up the right ammount but always fold in half or thirds and dig in like crazy. I had red marks from them for 3+ days after one long day.

I say bend them! I've tried it before and it works. I understand what you mean with the boobs in the frame looking longer and a bit pointy from the top. I have that too in some Cleos but I'm starting to love that look!
