Bra is great for my root width! First bra I've found that doesn't extend a couple of inches past where my boobs end. The projection lines up with what I need. However, the cups are almost 1.5" taller than my smaller boob (which has a height of 6" and a perimeter of 8.5" vs my left boob at 6.5" and 9") and 1.25" taller than my left boob. So, there's wrinkling and dimpling at the top of the bra and it's visible underneath a shirt. The gore sits on my breast tissue at the center, not by a lot, but enough that the marks are very clearly on ... my inner boob, not my ribcage, which is in part because the gore height is double what I would consider the available space for a gore between my boobs. I do like spacer fabric though! I'm getting really annoyed with bras that are too tall and I wish I could cut off extra fabric at the top.
I'm also not a fan of the bows everywhere (I don't like bows on straps I think they're unnecessary).
Sidenote: I don't wear bras that often (shout out to stretchy crop tops & having self-supporting breasts), and my skin isn't usually compressed. Anyway, I think between that and my skin sensitivity it's giving me some mild hives down my torso. So that's awkward.

Very short roots, projected, slightly narrow, even, close-set breasts....

The immediate projection feels fabulous. However, as is a common occurrence, when there is enough space near the wire, the cup is too tall, wrinkles in the top, and bites my underarm. Although the volume is comfortable, the oversized height is not. Compared to the 32F, this dramatically reduces bounce. But, the height of the 32F fits better on my very short breasts.

Like the 32F, the wire channel is longer than the wire. When the wire is moved furthest from the gore, the gore height is 2.25" tall and 1" wide: still requires a substantial alteration to fit my close-set ... breasts.

I have not attempted alterations on a molded cup before. But, after 92 bra purchases and not one fitting, I'm quickly warming to the idea. Sigh. This will require major surgery https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

Great everyday bra with just enough padding to create a smooth surface. The padding is thinner than Comexim, Curvy Kate, and Ewa Michalak. Additionally, this model has good immediate projection and narrow-ish wires. The gore, however, requires "surgery" to fit close-set breasts.

EDIT: there are photos of a narrowed gore alteration on a molded bra, constructed like Panache Cari, here: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dia37/pictures/

Great J-hook bra! Spacer cups are made of a stretchy but slightly firm material. (Not as soft and stretchy as Wacoal basic beauty). Found this for $9.99 and decided to try it. I own this in 34D which is too small. I assume a 34DD would be better but they are too expensive at the moment. Measurements for that size indicates cups will fit close to 36D. Wire fits OK but cups are too roomy in 36D. Works well as a comfort racerback bra but would prefer to have a more snug supportive fit in cups. Great bra, wrong size, needs alterations.
Please note! I measured cup width 23,5 cm when worn but the stretchy cups will allow room for more breast tissue.

I added this bra 1-2 years ago but my reveiw seems to be missing. My usual size in UK brands is 32E so took a chance on this one for a low price. Cups are too low and slightly small but works OK when worn with straight straps (which I don't like). With the J-hook connected breast tissue escapes both in upper cup and armpit. Great bra, wrong size.

My breasts are firm, projected, average to slightly wide roots. I found this bra to provide a very nice, round shape. The band itself is also very pretty, wit the lace details. I think the band is a bit on the firmer/less stretchy side, but not intolerable (my "base" size is 30G but I sister size to 32F/FF for comfort in most bras). Although I do think this bra generally fits well (gore tacks, level band, no cup quadding), I suspect that the band may feel slightly tighter because I'm in between cup sizes, like a 32F 1/2. I will be trying a 32FF for comparison.

This is my third try in this bra. I previously tried 30E - Panache » Cari Moulded Spacer Bra (7961) , but the cups were too small. Then I tried 28FF - Panache » Cari Moulded Spacer Bra (7961) , which is a bit tight but fits well, and now I'm trying this 32E. The band fits like a 30" bra. For best fit, I'll have to wear it on the second or third hook. I measured the band until the cups started to distort, though it could have stretched further with a hard pull. It fits very well and is very comfortable with ... the looser band. I wanted a bra for everyday wear at work or on full day of bra wearing. I think this size will do just fine, and I'm glad it's the "dove" colour and not the plain beige like the 28FF. I haven't worn any of them for a full day yet because I haven't decided yet if I'm keeping the 28FF, but I'll give this one a try tomorrow at work. If I have anything to add, I'll edit this review.

Overall, great quality, great fit and great appearance.

This looks good under t-shirts, gives a rounded, seam-free appearance. I believe it is a cup size too big for me. I'm able to fill the cups vertically, but the cups are too wide and the gore pokes into my sternum. There was enough projection at the wire for my full on bottom, projected breasts. The spacer foam is the lightest of any padded/foam option I've seen, even to the point showing slight nipple projection (not visible with a shirt, visible without a shirt). I discovered that I dislike the molded cup in general because there are no seams to give support to my breast tissue, and the ... bottom of my breasts are sore at the end of the day. I kept having to adjust the bra throughout the day to re-position it in my IMF, perhaps because the cups are too wide. Appearance wise, I dislike the thick straps and the bows, and I dislike the beige, which looks a bit sallow or something against my olive skin.I do like the lace pattern, and the bra does give a nice shape under clothes, so it gets a solid "ok" for appearance and is definitely one of the prettier nude t-shirt bras I've seen. There is a racer back attachment at the the top which helps address the wide-set strap issue, but that means the straps are visible.

Nude colorway

This is a molded/padded/T-shirt style cup, which normally spells trouble for me with my super-projected top-full close-set breasts, but the fit isn't too bad here. The gore tacks, and there's no quad-boob. The support FEELS good, but I'm concerned that the band is riding too low on me. Also, there's a fair amount of dentability on the outside of the cup.

The wings are smoother than I thought they'd be (the lace is only on the outside), but a little bit of lace hangs down over the edges, which can cause some issues for my sensitive skin.

This is a great every day bra. Comfortable, with a smooth sillhouette under clothes. It provides almost full coverage and decent separation, which I like. The wires are wider and wings higher than I'd prefer, but its still wearable.

This bra is AMAZING! I am so happy I bought this bra. It is so smooth and light, and my breasts actually stay in the cups. This bra actually makes me feel proportional, not like I'm wearing a massive bra to hold up a massive chest. I have aready bought another one!
