Fabric seems good quality. Like that its lined and fuller coverage, don't like that the top is empty with my boobs but the cup size still feels off. The lace and color are pretty

Why does the band still feel tight and the cups too close together?

This is such a lovely bra, and I had high hopes that it would elevate an everyday molded cup t-shirt bra to a more luxurious level, however I don't find that this bra fits true to size at all.

I ordered my normal size of 30D in two colors, Black and Nude. While in many other brands these days I wear 30DD, I have always found Panache cups to run a little larger and I am always 30D in Panache. 30 Panache bands are frequently too large on me, but in this style, the two bras I ordered were vastly different measurements. The 30D in Nude ... was a perfect band fit and felt great. The 30D in Black had a band that was 1.8" longer on the flat, and therefore it was far too big and rode up.

The biggest problem is that the cups were so ridiculously small for me I really couldn't get a good idea of the fit other than the fact that the cups are 2-3 sizes too small. The Nude with the TTS band feels much smaller than even the 30C bras I have, and feels like a 30B-C. The Black with the oversized band can only be described as a 32B, maybe even a 32A.

What a shame, since the design of the bra is gorgeous! Nice wide straps with lace detail, a full band with wide bottom elastic, sturdy wings with lace overlay, and a fancy little crystal charm attached to a small rose at the center front. I wouldn't be surprised if this were a Simone Perele style. The details really remind me more of a French bra. Another good thing is that these cups are definitely just molded and not padded (I wasn't clear on this prior to ordering as some sources described this as padded), since I despise padded bras.

I am not sure if there are just some grading issues and the other cup sizes run truer to size, but I would check the measurements or make sure the bra is returnable before ordering this. Unfortunately no one else had ordered this size before, so I took a chance on it, and it didn't work out! I think this could be a lovely everyday molded bra if you can find your fit.

This is my best fitting molded bra so far. I have narrow rooted, close set, highly projected breasts. This bra is super soft and supportive and fits comfortably. Definitely will be my go-to every day bra from now on.

Gives great cleavage and a lovely smooth line. However, the wire popped out after a few months and the store wouldn't give me a refund - nor would Panache. Really disappointed because I miss wearing it!

I'm 28E/F projected, narrow/tall roots, centerfull. Though this bra was a little too wide at the wire, it did have a lot of immediate projection at the wire and overall. My only complaint was that I'm a too tall rooted for this bra to work, so I had some major quadboob at the upper edge. This would likely be a better fit for average/shorter rooted gals.

This fit pretty well; a little quadboob but nothing visible under shirts. It's pretty projected for a molded bra.

I ordered a bunch of bras to try, and this was the best-fitting of the bunch. The quality seems nice, it gives a nice shape, and in general fits me pretty well. As is the case with most bras, the gore is a bit high and wide for me personally, as I am close set. Even with a little digging, the gore tacked and was tolerable. The wire is just a little wide for me, but not too bad. My measured band size is a 30, but I don't like the feeling of a too-snug band. This rides up a bit in the back on the loosest hook, but I'm worried that sizing down in the band would be uncomfortable. I might just try the tighter hooks. All in all, this is a lovely bra, seems well-made, and adds some pizazz to an ordinary moulded cup bra with a lace band, center gore details, and lace on the straps. (I didn't include the strap lace in the measurement.)

This bra is electric pink - it is vibrant! The colour and lace detailing on the straps and band are extremely beautiful. This really looks like a luxury bra.

As far as moulded bras go, this might be the most narrow and projected that I have tried. The wires were not obnoxiously wide (Freya Idol - I'm looking at you) and there is a decent amount of immediate projection. The cups were quite a match-up for my shape - I'm very FOT, so moulded bras can be really hit or miss. For someone who is more even, or FOB, this would be a great option for a fun t-shirt bra.

This is my third try/third size for this bra. Once again, this one doesn't fit either. I guess I just have to chalk it up to style. Maybe the cup is too tall, because it mostly fit very comfortably. The biggest issue was it gaped with anything other than perfect posture.
The band was perfect as well as the height of the cup & wings under the arms. What I think was happening is the gore is too wide & tall for me and was doing something weird there. Bummer too! I'd really like to find the perfect seamless cup.
For reference, I am functionally FoB, projected, with average roots, and sit low on chest.
