My shape is low set, soft, narrow and short rooted.

This bra came through ebay from Belle Lingerie. I've wanted to try this bra (or the fantasie rebecca spacer bra) for quite some time, so I finally took the plunge. The bra was ordered about 6 weeks ago, so shipping was very slow from the UK to Canada.

The colour is a magenta/purple. It's vibrant and fun. There are tiny matching bows on the straps and gore. The shape is softly rounded, slightly minimized but not squished. The bra is very soft and the material is thin, flexible spacer foam. They are satiny feeling inside and out. If you've ... never tried spacer foam, it's like halfway between a padded and unpadded bra. There is a very thin lining along the cups edge which might cause cutting if the cup is too small (like with me), or if you have lots of upper fullness. I am short rooted, and I think I could wear this in the right size without any gaping. The straps are fairly standard in width, comfortably stretchy but supportive, and fully adjustable. There is a J hook on the back so you can wear this racer back style or regularly. The band and gore area have a lace on them to add something extra to the bra, but the very bottom of the lace band was very mildly irritating against my ribs when slouching. Otherwise this bra is exceptionally comfortable. The band is fairly firm and fairly true to size (maybe a touch under). I could easily wear this 30F on the tighest or loosest hook depending on the day. I could also wear a 28FF quite comfortably I believe, so I'll be watching for this to go on sale in a 28FF. The cups were too small for me, even though I'd read that this cup ran slighly large. I am a true 30F/28FF, as every time I've tried to size down thinking that I'm smaller, it backfires on me and the cup ends up being too small. Why do I keep trying? I'm not sure...

Overall pretty, comfortable, and would be great as an everyday bra.

I've finally bought my first spacer bra and I've chosen Panache Cari in Cashmere. I'm really glad I did ti because it's comfortable and almost invisible under white shirts so perfect for summer.
It's true to size but I think the band will loose quickly.
Cups are moderately deep and they fit my shallower breasts. They give me really rounded shape and maybe little minimizing.
For more information, read my review on my blog.

The cari is a bit tall for me as a petite person, so in the 30E, I get a bit of gapping near the center and top. I tried 28E (I would've tried 28F instead of 30E, but it was cheaper in 30E). I quadboob out of the 28E (I think the volume of 28E/30DD is just too small for me in general), and the wires are a good bit too narrow. It hurt pretty bad to wear for more than an hour. The 30E is better, the wires are wide enough, but maybe not as wide as I need. I have wide roots + tissue migration, so ... I am trying to go for wide wires that fully encapsulate all of my breast tissue and hopefully move it back. I have a lot of boob under my armpit, and my armpit is right against where my boob ends, so it can be tricky as fully encapsulating all of my breast tissue kind of means the cups have to be in my armpit. I However, while this bra is not as wide as I'd like, I think it is wide enough that it's not sitting on my breast tissue. Most molded cups do not have enough immediate projection for me, and this one does. I can't return this bra at this point so I am hoping it works long-term. The gaps don't show under clothing, anyway.

This bra was a pleasant surprise. It has more of a balcony-esque fit rather than the traditional plunge that I was expecting. It is also closed at the top, so it's perfect for my short roots. Wires run a bit wide, but that's no surprise. Very comfortable!

Goodness, this band runs tight, which is too bad, because it fits pretty well otherwise. Great projection for a moulded bra. Straps are relatively narrow set, which I appreciate.

This is the most projection I've found in a t-shirt bra, but it still wasn't right for me. Gaping at the top, quadding in the center. Comfortable but just not the right shape for me.
