I want to love Panache swimwear soo bad but they never seem to fit me! This top is super simple and cute but has too much center projection for me. It's tight for a 30 which is what I prefer, it's just not perfect for my shape!
Me: Average projection. Fuller on bottom. Slightly wider left breast (I suspect this breast is also 1-2 ml taller than my other breast). Usually wear 28DD or 30D.
It's a cute swim top I'm fairly sure there's a bit of empty space at the bottom of the cups. The gore doesn't really sit firmly on my sternum either. If this swim top was available in 28DD, I'm sure I would like it better. This top made me realize I don't like bandeau swim tops because I felt like I was gonna spill out anytime and part of my areola looked like it was showing sometimes. I think I may be more suited to swim tops that encompass my whole breast rather than bandeau style.
I must say I'm a sucker for nautical patterns. Ordered this set online and kept it when I should have returned it, really. I kept saying to myself that with alteration the top would be wearable. Since then it's become clear that the cups are on the small side and the needle and thread thing isn't meant for me... Absolutely amazing pattern and colours, material soft to touch with firm elastic in the band. Band is true to size, maybe on the comfy side - not too tight. Cups turned out to be too shallow and wide apart for me. Maybe sizing up and sewing in the bottom of ...the centre gore would do the trick. Straps are fully adjustable and not very elastic. The top is completely mesh lined - airy thin lining. I got the bikini shorts in size XS - front lined and offer ample coverage, I'd say it is more of a size S. All in all the set is comfortable enough, no scratching, squeezing, poking or anything like that. I am really in love with this pattern... Read more 72 more words
This bra is too small and ill fitting for me to even properly scoop and swoop. I think it's good for even-FOB shapes with short roots and a fair amount of projection. The quality is stunning though, absolutely beautiful and I wish I could make this swimsuit top work for me.
i wear a 28D and am moderately: shallow, conical, wide. even fullness, average set. elegant, beautiful product. although this top is a size too big for me, i can comment that the shape is of average projection - which is too projected for me. wires were fine, gore was fine on my body. all in all a very typical panache cut.
I have the Loren swimsuit and I love it. This is also a good one, but it is cut lower than Loren. The fit is the same, but I did feel like I needed to keep looking down to make sure everything was in place. Nothing slipped out or anything, but definitely wish it wasn't cut so low. It was super adorable, I think the cutest swimsuit I ever had, but maybe not the best for swimming.
Found this swimsuit cheap on ebay and it fits amazingly well. These swim suits run a tiny bit small in cup and band. I usually wear a 30 band and start a couple hooks in. This bra doesn't have hooks so it either fits or doesn't, but fits well on me. It's also a tiny bit small in the cups, so if you are in between sizes I'd size up, but I wear a 30D and it fits nicely in the cup for me (just something to keep in mind). This is my very first underwire anything and it's really comfortable. I have tried on underwire bras and felt the wrath of a too high gore. The gore sits comfortably and it holds all the tissue thanks to Panache's wide wires. Excited to wear this on the beach!
It pushes very nice to the middle. This bra runs a bit big in den Cups and in the band, so it is probably more a 30DD. Also it is made for very much projection
This is a nice swimsuit, but while the "bra" section of the swimsuit is fine I feel like the overall sizing in this is quite generous and I probably would have been better off with a 28 instead. That said I don't think I've ever seen that size so they either don't make them or everywhere I've looked doesn't stock them.
