This Clara 30G was not a perfect fit at all but I kept it. It's comfortable, old colors are cheap, and the interior side support panel seemed ideal to mod into a nursing bra.

I really like how the Clara style feels & looks on, so I've long wanted a "close enough" size. I don't think it's scratchy at all, and the lace is very cute. The band is wide and feels good. Even if I have to get a 30 and the band isn't snug, even if the shape ends up a little splayed ... Clara feels comfortable. I really appreciate the side support fabric panel ... inside a lot.

As pictured, the wire is too wide everywhere -- nowhere near my IMF, laughably far to be honest. Similar to my photos on the 30FF but the 30G gives a little more room. But I'm not a 30, so I guess that's one reason the bra could be wide. (I'm a 28 but Clara doesn't come in 28). It still feels OK to wear, OK enough to keep at a heavy sale price.

The bra does a good job of holding everything in place which is probably related to low stretch in the cup and the fact that it's a full cup. My main concern is that the straps are too wide for my frame and dig into my armpit area over the course of the day. The overall shape is not too bad but it's not as rounded as I would like. I'd give it 4 stars out of 5 because it's pretty close. I do know that a 30FF in this bra fits me better but I had already bought the 30G when I found that out.

I would say the bra is similar to the Envy and Jasmine but runs a bit smaller/tighter. For some reason, I always get wrinkling in the bottom of the cups on all Panache bras I've tried. I suspect it's due to lack of immediate projection. My boobs come out from my chest on the bottom at basically a 90 degree angle, so this is likely the culprit. It's too bad because the bra is very pretty and delicate and the lace is surprisingly non-itchy and comfortable. This bra is on the comfy "I don't even feel it on" side, which is always good. I think it's thanks to the stretchy stuff they put in the lace.

This is the non padded version with some side support!

major pros: high, supportive wires at the gore without going so high on the outside as to be pinchy or restricting ! A rare gem in my experience. Straps we also place close together enough that I could get a full range of motion without any pinching! the wires did come too far under my arm for me , but I have a fairly narrow root. Lays flat when unworn and hooks shut, unlike some bras in this range which 'triangle' up.

It did little to control boob jiggle though, and the flexible lace trim means that adding some moulding padding ripples the fabric, instead of lying flat.

Great fit, but not the right style for my needs.

Bought this bra used and the band seems to have been overstretched because the closure at the back is misshaped and some of the stitching looks strained. I don't think there is enough room at the bottom of the cup because the wire will not sit in my imf which is causing the straps to dig in despite the band being tight enough. The wires are also too wide for me and since the bra wasn't in the best condition I decided to reshape them. My experiment with the wires helped some but it still rides down. The gore is also not narrow enough for me and the straps are too far apart adding to the discomfort. A size down would definitely be too small so this is not a size issue, it just isn't the right shape for me.

Cups and gore are slightly too wide for me and there's not enough projection. The fabric is comfortable and does support my breast well.

This bra is made fairly well. The material is soft and so is the lace. The gore is a little high for my liking but this will not keep me from wearing this bra. It has moderately projecting cups, fully adjustable straps and a fairly stiff band. However, for a 30G I don't think 2 sets of hooks are enough. I wish it had at least 3. The straps are soft but really stretchy. Not sure if they will support the weight of my breasts without digging in. All in all it is a good fit for me. I have an even amount of breast tissue on top and bottom that is fairly projected, not too close together but not wide set either.
