This bra is super cute and I'm really comfortable in it. I'm not sure if it'll continue to be comfortable for the whole day, though- we'll see. The band is definitely a bit big- I can fit my whole hand under it pretty easily, even on the tightest hook. I feel compelled to tug on it occasionally to check that it's in place. But it still manages to be supportive and it hasn't started riding up yet.
The shape is great- nice and round and perky. It looks pretty awesome, even under the frumpy T-shirt I'm wearing now.
I'm on the fence about the cup size- if I'm standing normally I don't quadboob, but it does happen when I move my arms back or up at all. I'm not sure if that's bad or just normal?
Anyway, I'd rate this very highly in general. It's the first Panache bra I've had that's really been close to fitting perfectly, and it's only slightly off in the size. Wish they'd make it in sub-28 bands, though!
I generally like this bra. The pros - very pretty lace, good support, good shape, even under a t-shirt. The cons - the under wire is a little too high under my armpits and pokes when I reach my arms out in front of me or above my head, the elastic is a little scratchy but it's easy to ignore, the under wire cuts into my tummy when I have bad posture and leaves red marks - if I stand up straight, it's great!
I was excited to get this bra because it's so cute.
However, I was not excited about the fit of it. The cups in this size were obviously too small for me, as I had some nice quadboobing going on. The straps were also not adjustable enough (only half of the actual strap allows for adjustment), so it dug into my shoulders.
I also noticed that when I walked with the bra on, my boobs jiggled like a bowl of jello on a washing machine running spin cycle. It was insane!
The good part is the cups felt nice, though perhaps they were a bit too shallow for me, but I'm ...not entirely sure. The lace on the top was a nice detail
Under a shirt, this bra gave me a very odd looking sort of oval square shape that I did not like at all.
The band was comfortable, and the wire didn't poke me. However, the gore did not sit flat on my sternum, so I have no way of knowing if it would be uncomfortable.
The Juna is definitely a nice bra, and I would recommend it. I think I might try a size up in the cups and see how that goes. Read more 92 more words
This bra actually fits me fairly well. My only problem with is so far, is that the fabric is kind of irritating on my skin. I wonder if this can be fixed with a few washings?
I get no quadraboob, a nice shape, good level of comfort except for the fabric... Really I think this one fits!
The underwires might extend a bit too far along my sides, but I don't find it too irritating. I am going to try wearing it after a few washings and see how it is then.
I LOVE the Olivia, and am really sad that it no longer fits. The band is firm, the cups are incredibly well shaped--very up front, but still rounded. The top lace doesn't cut into the boob as much as the Meg does either, because it has lace instead of lace and the horizontally placed ribbon. This is, in general, one of the best bras I owned.
I would KILL to find this bra (or the Alexa, or the Sasha) in a 28FF, because I am sure it would fit brilliantly. Unfortunately, these are now basically impossible to find, and I disagree that the Meg is actually the same pattern. The ribbon on the Meg bra is beautiful, but makes the top much more closed than this bra was, and that can be a real problem in terms of quadboobing.
I was so sad this bra didn't fit! The cups are just a little too small; they cut into tissue at both the top and the sides, near my arms. The center gore didn't hurt at all though, and the band felt good. It would have been comfortable if it were the right size. The fabric is really silky and smooth, and the lace at the top didn't itch.
This is my best fitting bra! The lace at the top doesn't cut in, nor does it gape. The center gore hurt a little the first couple times I wore it, but now it's super comfortable; I hardly notice I'm even wearing it! The only thing I'm not in love with is how the lace doesn't lie flat- I'd heard that this would be the case, though, and it's not a big enough issue to affect ho much I love this bra!
I'm a big fan of the style of the Juna. Unfortunately, I'm in a strange place right now where a 28G leaves a bit of space under the lace for my smaller breast, but 28FF is tight enough to create a quadboob for the larger breast. I think the 28G is the best fit, however-- the lace on this bra is a bit weird, as has been pointed out to me by other braficcionados. It's a bit excessive-- if your boobs are COMPLETELY filling out the lace at rest, it seems like the bra is actually a bit too small, because it hides a minor amount of quadboobing ...underneath the lace. So, the lesson I have learned is don't pay as close of attention to the lace on this bra as you do to the actual fabric of the bra itself.
So, that said, first, I love the fabric of this bra. It is very smooth and soft, feels great against the skin. I like the slightly padded cups as well. It is very comfortable, and also provides a bit more shape without the sometimes breastplate feeling of the Freya Deco (a bra that I also love). The shape of this bra is a pleasing one--rounded, without hypercleavage, but enough of a soft, round mound on top. I think it looks great under a t-shirt. The only improvement that I would ask of an every day bra like this one would be if the bra held the boobs just a little more 'up front', but I like a pretty up front look overall.
The band of this bra is appropriately snug, however, I also own the Cleo Ellie (Juno in a great watercolor blue color) and have worn it for quite a while, and find that the band does stretch out after a while. That said, it could use slightly firmer elastic that wears better with time.
This really is my go-to bra, and I feel confidant in saying that about this new Juna because of my experiences with the Ellie and the Darcie. Also, with my improved scoop-and-swoop technique, I find the bras fit better in 28G than they did a while ago, so that's always a good thing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Read more 267 more words
Adorable! So far I have only tried it on, not worn it for several hours yet. But the cup shape seems well-suited to my shape, and the design is super cute. On the left cup, the decorative fabric over the actual cup is slightly wrinkled, but that's a manufacturing thing, not a fit issue. I'll update with any changes after I've worn it for a day!
I measure myself at a 30F but from what I read in reviews about it on Nordstrom's website, I decided to go up a cup size. The cups lay flat if I keep my shoulders just slightly further back than is comfortable for me to maintain as normal posture, but as soon as they move forward at all, cavernous spaces open up on the sides :[ and because the cups are so wide they rub a bit on the sides. No good for me, unfortunately. The center gore is also too high for me and rubs, although the one on my Zia is the same height and doesn't poke so badly.
I'm pretty much at the start of my properly-fitting-bra saga, so I'm still working things out.
I've only had it for a few days but so far it seems pretty good, despite the gore being a bit too high, and even then it isn't causing any actual discomfort - I can just notice it sometimes if I shift in a weird way. I bought it online at Nordstrom on sale, and they were out of my size so I went a band size up. If I use the smallest set of hooks the band fits just fine and doesn't slide up while I wear it.
My left breast ...is larger than my right one and top heavy whereas the right is fuller on the bottom, so I'm typically prone to quad-boobing (or I guess it's tri-boobing in my case), but it only happens in this bra if I bring my shoulders back further than I do when standing normally, so I think I'm okay with it. If I went up another cup size my right boob would be drowning in it. And if I hunch my shoulders forward there's a bit of a gap on the outside of the cup, more noticeable on the right of course. Since I don't walk around like that typically I don't think I need to worry about that (but correct me if I'm mistaken!)
This is my first bra that doesn't have a molded cup, so I don't know if this is how they all are, but I really like that on the outside edge of the cup, the fabric continues up maybe half an inch further than the wire does - I feel like it holds me in, but having the wire extend that high would definitely be uncomfortable.
I don't know if it's going to stretch out/how it will wear with time since I've only had it a few days, but I'll come back and edit it all in if it's necessary. Overall I'm a fan :]
The underwires are too small (short? narrowly spaced?) for my breasts; they definitely cut into my side breast tissue. Gore/fabric panel lies beautifully flat.
The cups are nonpadded lace. No amount of swooping and scooping could get my breasts to fit properly in them. Major wrinkling along the top of the cup just under the lace edging, and more wrinkling (like gathers/ruching) along the bottom of the cup, and the aforementioned cutting into of breast tissue. I've noticed recently (after getting a bra in 32C and another in 30D), that a 32C padded bra is a borderline fit, but a 32C nonpadded is a no-no - I need a 32D (at least) for nonpadded styles.
I haven't worn it out of the apartment yet and will update this review when I do, but so far I LOVE this bra. Love the look, both color and shape, very comfy (on first try at least), good projection, etc. Update ASAP!
I really liked this bra when I first got it, but I think my breast tissue migrated and it didn't fit well after just one wearing. The color is a nice bright pink and all the embroidery will definitely show under most clothes.
I loved the lift and shape this bra gave me, but the band only having 2 hooks instead of 3 made it feel less secure.
See... I should have read the previous reviews before ordering the 28E on this one. It definitely runs small - evident quad-boob effect. The bra itself seems quite comfortable if it were the right size for me. As it is, the 28E doesn't enclose my breasts as it should, whith the wires being too short on the sides (breast spillage in the under arm) and the cups digging into the breast tissue on the top. Quite sad... I ordered the short along with the bra - it's lovely and it fits wonderfully (the short, that is). I ordered it online from the UK and I am in Portugal, otherwise I would return it for the 28F, which would probably fit me much better. Other than that, it's a nice looking bra, with the magenta brightning up an otherwise "regular" black bra. The fabric is quite nice too, soft, although not as soft as the very nice microfibre on the Cleo Juna, which, by the way, I own in 28E/nude and fits great.
This bra fits almost perfectly, except that the lace edge at the top is too tight. It just barely cuts in and pushes down, causing a slight fold over the seam where the lace meets the bottom of the cup. The flaws can't be seen under clothes.
