    This bra was very pretty, and I bought it when figleaves was running a promotion for BOGO for Ariza & Tango Il (mistake...). Unfortunately, this was back in my n00b days, so I didn't realize that full cups don't really lift and shape.

    So, I ended up with an unlifted, sad shape, which I despise. Returned!

    Tis is a gorgeous bra, easily the prettiest nude colored bra I've ever seen.

    The embroidery is gorgeous, and the fabric is firm and stretchy but very supportive.

    This is the first bra I've ever owned that sits flat on my sternum...who knew they should actually DO that?! Downside is that I am fairly short waisted, And the center gore rubs, sometimes painfully on my chest. And it's TALL...5 inches. Half that would be sufficient. My fiancé refers to this as the bulletproof bra. The armholes are too small, so it rubs on my underarm, and I can't lengthen the straps enough to ease the fit there. I find ... myself reswooping multiple times over the course of a day, otherwise the wires pull rather painfully. (What causes that? The band is quite snug, too snug apparently, as I've actually pulled out the eyes on one of the rows. Too big cup?)

    The wires are quite wide, which was great at first as I have a substantial amount of migrated breast tissue I'm trying to convince to move home, but as it does migrate, they get simultaneously more and less comfortable. They rub less, but poke more.

    Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at a well fitting bra, so my assessment of why something is happening is definitely suspect. I think I'll try something other than a panache next, as the wires are notorious for being quite wide.

    This is my favorite balconnet bra EVER. I love it so https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> How do I love it? Let me count thy ways https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It is beautiful to look at; the embroidered fabric is oh so lovely, people ooo and aahhh when they see this https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The comfort is beyond anything else I have in this style; the GG-K cups in Ariza have reinforced straps with felt on the back and they are wider than the D-G cups, so they don't dig into your shoulders. ... The cups are reinforced and are not are sheer at the top like the D-G, but they are still see-through and very pretty https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Now, my underbust is 29, and I know that some people say you should go up a band size in this style. Well, I did, went from a 30 to a 32 and I lost all the lovely reinforcements, as the 32G is the "sister size" of this one, but it is completely different (please read my other review on this one!). When I first got this it was very snug, but wearable; I found that after wearing it about three or four times it stretched considerably, and now it is fine. I would suggest to NOT go up to the next band size, but rather get an extender and just hook that into the back until it stretches for you. I love this bra so much, that I want to get it in all colors, lol!! I have the midnight/fushia, and the purple/multi, and I'm drooling over the new lavender/pink one. Must get it soon https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> All in all, a fabulous bra!! OH, and you have to get the matchiing briefs, sooo cute together!!!!

    32G

    Didn't fit

    Well, I would like to say that I love this bra, but I don't. I just like it. Sister sizes do not work with this bra style!!! I am only keeping it because I can't find the same color in my size of 30GG, and I have the matching briefs, so I'd rather keep it than sell it and not be able to find it. I have to wear it on the tightest hook. For some reason, Panache decided to only make the re-inforced straps and cups for the Ariza GG-K cups, and the D-G cups are not, but they do have a ... sheer upper cup that looks more lacey and pretty, unlike the GG-K. So, the 32G does NOT equal the 30GG in this style!!! I can only wear it for a few hours at a time, because the thin straps dig horribly into my shoulders. Ouch. It's so pretty, though!!! I love love love these colors; great under a navy cami when you want to show just a pop of color! I literally have scoured the internet looking for my elusive 30GG midnight/fuschia color, but to no avail. If perchance there is someone out there who has it, and wants the 32G instead, let's trade!!! I've only worn this maybe six times? It's in great shape, practically brand new, because I only wear it a few hours at a time.

    This bra is my favorite bra NOW but I literally had to break it in. When I first got it the band was a smidge too tight and the wires poked my underarms. BUT the gore tacked and the gore never tacks on me as I have very close breasts. I toughed it out and I'm glad I did. Now that the band has stretched out (it stretches to 39" now), it fits great and I have zero issues with the wires digging into my underarms as the bra seems to mould to your body shape the more you wear it. It reminds me a lot of how raw denim works. You gotta break that sucker in! Highly recommend it if you have close together, firm, full on the bottom, wide rooted breasts and patience.

    I also really like how the straps are thin and it has only two clasps in the back so you can wear it under tank tops and flimsy dresses without looking like you're wearing a BRA.

    Snagged this for $10 at my local Nordstrom Rack and I love it already. It feels a little tight, I May have to wear an extender for the first few months but I'm okay with that. It's gorgeous and the gore is low enough for me.

    Edit: Wore for a full day with an extender and it would have been perfect if the underwire wasn't poking my armpits. I got really sore and there were red marks the next two days, I had to wear lower unferwires so it wouldn't hurt while healing :/ no broken skin, just red and sore.

    While this is a beautiful bra, I have come to the conclusion that Panache and I don't get along. Wires are too wide, and I don't get the lift I like.

    Surprisingly good fit on the first try. Very comfortable. Shapes breast to a natural, slightly pointy shape, which I do not like with tight t-shirt styles. For looser or more structured clothes, it's a nice shape.
    I'm short-torsoed, so the center gore prods sometimes, but not in a painful fashion. Been wearing it for four months or so, stretched very slightly--when bought it was perfect on the loosest band and too tight on any other, now it is comfortable on any of the hooks. Looks beautiful.

    Very happy with this bra. The band is a bit loose, but I did not try the 30, so I couldn't say if I could have gone down in band size. The wires under the arm felt like they might pinch when I first put it on, but after properly adjusting the straps and my breast tissue it became quite comfortable to wear.
