    I have it in lilac/pink; and it is so very pretty. Pale purple and bright pink lace, what's not to adore?

    Although the band hooked together easily without my arms in the straps, after I was strapped and swooped in, the band felt uncomfortably tight and both band and wires pinched my sides under my arms. A few hours of wear improved the tightness to a bearable degree.

    Without clothes on I was probably too distracted by the dreamy prettiness of the bra to notice fit issues. However, under a (admittedly thin and over washed) tee shirt there was definite quad boob along the top rim of the cup, and the shape wasn't quite as natural/rounded as I like.

    I'm keeping it, though, for wear under looser clothing, because it's so freakin' pretty.

    I was less than thrilled with this bra. I had such high hopes but it poked everywhere with underwires, which improved with bending but wasn't eliminated. Wings were much too high to be comfortable and while a very pretty bra it drove me nuts. The band is not very stretchy and was snugger than my 30J melody. Maybe it just didn't have enough stretch in the cups.

    This is the bra size Bratabase recommended to me based on its calculator. Just really too big in every way. Beautiful colors and detailing though.

    Wires are too long and poke under armpits. Apex of breasts is too far apart, feels fine but would look better closer together; this is more exaggerated in the violet mix one than in the mint one. Planning to take in gore and shorten underwires.

    Mint colorway

    I always loved to wear my Arizas when I was a 40J/38JJ, they felt very supportive and I liked the shape and design of this series. It's a pity, it's discontinued, but I think most women will find the wires too poky under the armpit. The wires are very long, but that was something I liked about the bra.

  6. This was the first bra I had that fit right! I love the purple and the flowers and the overall look of the bra. It fits great and is never uncomfortable.

    This used to be my favourite bra for a long time. Sadly my boobs decided to grow again. I need now a 32K/32KK in other Panache bras (like Floris and Melody) and probably a 32L in Ariza.

    pros +
    + gives a uplifted round shape
    + full on top friendly
    + very sturdy construction
    + wires are a bit narrower than on most panache bras (Tango, Melody, Floris)
    + band is very firm and barely stretches out with wear
    + very supportive, gives "boobs of steel" feeling

    cons -
    - fabric is a bit itchy at first wears
    - shoulder straps can dig in
    - wire pain since the wires are very very stiff (but that also makes the bra so supportive for big / heavy boobs) but also note that I get pain from wires digging in in all my bras when I wear them a full day, because the bras have to carry a lot of weight
    This bra's measurements have been altered
    Altered band,

    about this colorway: it runs imo a half cup size small / the top section is a bit less full on top friendly than on other colors
    also beware, band is less firm in +JJ sizes, so go with you usual band size even if other reviews say to size up (bands runs 1 size small in J - cups and under)

    Me:FoT, narrow and tall root, average projection, splayed.

    This is a beautiful soft mint color with lovely lace detailing. The band is somewhat tight for a 30 and I had to use an extender to try it on. The lace on top only presses in slightly. It fits but I don't particularly like the shape it gives me, too natural while I prefer rounded like the Cleo Marcie.
