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.
