586 bras

MY SHAPE: round, projected, even, close set, on the narrow end of average root width.

THE TAKEAWAY: Best for shallower breasts or breasts that don't need much immediate depth. Full cup + stretch lace on top half is quite accommodating and I think would work well for the whole range of vertical fullness. High gore is no bueno for close set busts. Band is stretchy, consider sister sizing down if possible.

DETAILS: Partly because the fit issues in my 30E - Panache » Clara Full Cup Bra (7255) have become much harder to ignore since I've had a slew of really good fits lately, and partly just ... for fun, I decided to size up in the cup and give the Clara another shot in the new AW16 Slate/Teal colorway. My hope with sizing up in the cup is that I might get a smidge more depth and that would alleviate the bottom of the cup wrinkling I get in the 30E. No dice. While I daresay the top of the cup actually looks better (I get a touch of quadboobing in the 30E, but none in the 30F), everything else is all wrong: the wires are about 1/2" too wide, the gore is waaaay too tall and does not play nice with my center fullness, and what's with the fact that my nipples are STILL in the sheer portion of the cup? For real, what's with that?

Clara, you're elegant AF, but you just won't work for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

The band is tight enough for used 30, but I'd be more happy with 28 band. The cups are true to size, but not very projected at the bottom. Upper part of the cups is made of very thin and stretchy lace, so it accommodates perfectly to my breast shape. It's very comfy if you have some weight fluctuations or other size changes. The shape is not perfectly round, it's closer to natural. I like the color and nice lace, but the gore is too high.

Beautiful bra. Shallow at the very bottom - I went up to a 30f from a 30e, hoping that it might give a bit more projection, but it doesn't. The actual cup is now more comfortable though! I was quadboobing in the 30e, but it didn't really show due to the lace at the top of the cup being stretchy.

I still have a wedge of wrinkle at the bottom of the cup where my breasts are pushing the bra down. It's honestly not enough to make me send this back. It doesn't show under my shirts, and now that I'm a cup size up & my boobs can breathe a bit, I don't care.

This is supposed supposed to be pretty close to the same cut as the Andorra. I think I've been reading over at r/abrathatfits that the Andorra is more shallow than Clara.

TLDR: Beautiful. Forgiving lace top. Bottom of cup is shallow, not projected.

This bra is beautiful and it feels so good on. I have a bit of wrinkling at the bottom inner side near the gore. Maybe because my boobs are so wide set. Im gonna try plunge styles next. Hopefully have more luck. I wanted to like this bra so much but unfortunately I’m gonna have to return it. It makes my cone shaped boobs very pointy. I need a less projected shape I guess. Idk. Any insight?

I decided to try 30F when I realized my Panache Clara was too small in 30E. (There was some in-cup quadding and minor wrinkling under the cup from needing more immediate projection.)

The 30F does in fact fit in cup volume much better. However, I still have a challenge with the immediate projection not being enough (still wrinkling across the bottom of the cups).

I got this bra from a lovely btb member https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The band is altered, so keep this in mind when looking at the measurements!

In terms of fit:
Altered band is perfect, but the cup is too small for at least one cup! The wires are pushed down a lot and my nipples are both at the edge of popping out and I get some incup quadding when wearing without the cotton pads. I placed them centered over my nipples, so you can see.. they are not where they are supposed to be in a full cup bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
I am planning on trying this bra a size up, as it's soo beautiful and the material is just soo soft and perfect! <3

The navy/teal colorway is soooooo pretty!
The Clara has narrower wires & gore than the Panache Envy. However, the wires are still stiff (this I'm okay with) and the gore too wide & tall (not as okay with). I also need more immediate projection than the average projection the cups provide. There are a bit of wrinkles near the wires. Going up a cup size was able to mitigate the projection issue for me.

For reference I’m fob with slight to average projection and centre full. This is the first bra I’ve ever gotten that fits this well! I ended up getting it in a 30F which is my sister size as I was worried 28band would be too tight. After swooping and scooping its great, best fit I’ve ever had apart from the gore which is a tad too tall, and the bra itself is super cute in black. The upper half being stretch lace made it accommodating and to be honest if I got this in my true size it might’ve been a bit better. Though the fabric is a little itchy I’m sure it’ll be more comfortable the more it’s washed and worn.

Other than the gore width (I need it a tiny bit narrower) this is the perfect fit for me. I have above average projection, narrow and tall roots, and I’m close set and full on bottom.
