For some reason I really like the Andorra, although it is relatively plain. The lace feels soft, and the colors are gently muted. The raised gore gives a visual impression of upward lift and makes my torso appear more delicate. I get a lovely lifted shape, not quite green but a more natural looking perky. The extra side panel pushes the breasts away from my armpits and makes it comfortable (at least in the short term). I love how my breasts look in this bra, and I'm not normally a fan of off-white colors (the color is "pearl").
That said, the Andorra will never ... work for me, although I am tempted to keep it. There simply isn't enough projection in the bottom of the cup to fit my breasts. I get wrinkles in the bottom of the cups and over time I think this would destroy the cup.
The straps are not fully adjustable, which could be a problem for me as well, but this is because there is extra padding on the shoulders. I'm not sure if it is needed, but the fabric they used feels soft, which makes it feel like a more luxurious bra.
Another thing I dislike about this bra is that Panache has made this only a two hook bra in a FF cup. I really feel that certainly by a F cup a bra benefits from having a more stable band with more hooks.
The band was somewhat tight as I had to go up a size from the larger of my two typical band measurements, but I was able to fasten it on the second hook. I would probably have done better with a 36G and an extender.
