This is a secondhand bra, so that was not a big surprise for me that the band is stretch out for my measurements. To tell the truth, even new Clara is rather lose in 30 band for me.
But the cups fit good and give me naturally round shape. And I love this bra so much that I'm ready to alter the band if it is necessary. It is necessary and i will make the band fit.
The color is close to my perfect nude, but the lace is very visible under the white t-shirt.
I have the same bra in pale pink and this one in nude. I can't compare the bands, but the cups fit the same in both

The Clara in Cream/Nude has a slightly longer band than my Blush Pink Clara - it's a better band fit for me and the gore is a bit less pokey - but still too high for my liking. The lace on this version isn't contrasting, which makes this colourway less exciting, but it does disappear under white t shirts! I have tallish roots, even projection, center fullness and I'm low set. The cups don't come up high enough for me in this size - my nipples are above the apex .... so I think I need to try it in a 32F/30FF.

I think this Blush Pink colourway is beautiful, and it's flattering against my pale skin - more yellow-y neutrals look horrible on me, maybe because I have a pink undertone? Anyway, it's a lovely looking bra, and it works as a nude on me. I'm not sure if it's just my particular bra, or this colourway in general, but the band runs tight - my measurements bear this out I think. It's a bit too small for me overall, I get a floating straps on both sides, more on my larger side - I'm probably inbetween cup sizes, annoyingly. I'm evenly projected and the cup depth works pretty well for me, although there's a tiny bit of smooshed down fabric at the bottom of the cup on my larger side. The gore IS high, and pokes against my sternum. It's so gorgeous though! I'd like to try it in a 32F and a 30FF....

THE BRA
The Clara is gorgeous in the Charcoal/Black colorway. It looks elegant and understated, but more interesting than your standard black lace bra.
Clara is shallower than Jasmine and Envy; I believe it has less immediate projection and less overall projection. As a result, it seems to run smaller in the cups than those two cuts. The 34 band feels the same as any 34 band from Panache. The wires are typical Panache wires: long, wide, extremely firm.
ME
I'm still learning my shape. I know I have soft tissue and narrow roots, and I need lots of projection at the wire. I think I'm omega-shaped, a little FoB, with center ... fullness. Wires like to slide out of my IMF. Wire ends like to stab me in the armpits.
THE BRA ON ME
Clara slides out of my IMF (about 2") immediately and stabs me in the armpits, just like Jasmine and Envy. Unlike Jasmine and Envy in this size, Clara produces noticeable quadding on both sides. This one is a miss for me.
That black lace over charcoal sateen tho!! <3 This one will survive the ill-fitting bra purge to live on as a bedroom bra.

I bought this bra in the Charcoal/Black colour and I am in LOVE! It is just a gorgeous bra, and it fits my wide root/full on bottom shape perfect. The lower cup is a more structured material for support, while the lace upper is nice and stretchy, which is apparently the best kind of bra for me. For such a pretty bra, I am amazed at how comfortable it is. I love the vintage/retro vibe of this bra, especially since it gives me a nice rounded shape instead of that retro pointy boob shape. The band on this bra did seem to fit a bit more snug than other Panache bras that I have. I often wear 30 band bras on the tightest hook, but this one I wear on the middle. My one concern with this bra is that there is a piece of stretch lace detailing that starts at the top of the cup and runs up the band a bit...Although pretty, I just don't know how that detail will hold up with more wear.

UK 34E
A little itchy, but may get better with wear. I have pretty short roots and the top of the cup is perfect, but this bra has a little too much room on bottom of the cup for me. I also have narrow roots and the width seems good for me. The next panache I get, though, will be a 36 band instead of 34.

I'm projected with center fullness, and this bra seems too shallow for my breasts. There is not enough depth at the wire,and the gore doesn't tack. I like the stretch lace top of the cups and the bra is overall very pretty and comfortable despite it not being the best fit for my shape.

Update: the 30E worked better. The is way too long for me though with both bras and pokes in my sternum.
It fits! This is the first bra that really fits me and it's beautiful! Well, an overlapping / lower gore would have been better, but I'm very very happy with this fit. It really makes my breasts look so much nicer https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The lace of the bra is beautiful and I love the blue/nude color combination. The straps are narrow enough for me and do not dig into my arms, which probably means they are rather narrow. The band is OK, tight ... enough for a 30, although I'd have preferred it a little tighter, but they didn't have this bra in a 28 band. The wires have the perfect width for my breasts, and help them to point forwards and not to the side, even when I lie down https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The lace doesn't feel very smooth and is a little itchy, but I guess that's what you get with lace. The wires are very rigid, similar to the wires of my Cleo Juna bra, which I had to replace with more flexible ones. These wires do not dig into my sternum, but after wearing the bra for a day at work they do annoy me. I might replace them with more flexible ones and will maybe try to overlap the wires at the gore.
