    36GG

    Fits

    Fits like a dram. First time I've ever had a bra gore lie flat as someone with close set breasts. High and round. Feels a bit too formal a shape for under loose, draping clothing. Wish this shape was available with less lace.

    I own in Olive/Black, Dove Silver or Grey or something, and Ice Blue. All needed a couple of washes to get rid of the starch before they were comfortable enough to wear all day, but since that's happened I've been able to fall asleep in them.

    Hasn't set fit

    Didn't quite fit so I returned it but the color Chai was absolutely stunning. The Chai (nude) color was neutral with a hint of shimmer- so pretty. It gave a rounded shape similar to Panache Jasmine but sat lower on my chest I'm assuming it has less projection than Jasmine.

    Some notes:
    -My breasts sagged lower and wider shape than Jasmine
    -Major quadding after bending, shimmy, scoop, swoop, and smooth.
    - Gore too firm and high, stabs HARD when bending
    -Wires come up too high and stab underarm
    -Wires too narrow-cutting off breast tissue under my arms including smaller breast that usually isn't a problem
    -Straps too wideset, but doable
    -Cups too wideset, I don't really like the way it looks or feels
    -Wire 1" below IMF
    -Breasts kept slipping inward
    -Straps couldn't tighten enough

    Chai colorway

    28F

    Fits

    I'm more full on bottom, and this is my first bra where the lace on top molds to my shape instead of wrinkling if I pull my arms forward/to the middle. I have no issues with this bra except for one nitpick, which is that the strap details can be a bit scratchy sometimes and get in the way of strap adjustment. I appreciate that the straps are fully adjustable though.

    There is some very slight wrinkling on the bottom of the cups that I can feel if I rub around there with my fingers, but there's no feeling of empty space in the cup at all and it isn't visibly apparent. I think this is related to a lack of immediate projection, but it seems ok with overall projection for me.

    This is my favorite bra based off of aesthetics alone and it has beautifully intricate details. It offers an uplifted forward-facing shape without being compressive on the sides, which is nice for wide shapes like mine.

    Navy colorway

    • Although I am late to the party, I appreciate your review. I own 2 of these bras in 30F (Navy/pearl and Opal Grey). After seeing your review, I went straight to Bravissimo, & lo & behold, they still offer 28 bands! I have a 28F on the way. It was available in a sale colorway, too! 🎉

      This is one of few bras that does NOT irritate my arms where the straps meet the cups. Like you, I love the aesthetics of the Clara.

      I am more FoT with soft, asymmetric breasts. Interestingly, I have a smidge of *space* at the bottom & side of my smaller side-by-feel only as well. I have the slightest spillage on my larger side in my newer 30F, whereas in my older Clara, there is no spillage. Perhaps the lace relaxed with wear & hand washing.

      Regardless, it is one of my favorite bras. I'm happy I found your post, as 28F is usually my best fit!

    30G

    Hasn't set fit

    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.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    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.

    I really wanted this to work, but alas, it's way too shallow at the wire. I don't think sizing up or sister sizing would fix it, so I'm returning it. It's so beautiful, though!

    Band is a bit firm. But the fit is amazing. A little deeper cup would have been nice.

    40J

    Didn't fit

    I've worn this for several days now. Most importantly: I didn't have any backpain at the end of the day, the way I do if I go braless.

    At first I could barely tell I was wearing it, but by the end of the day the band area felt a little sore, there was some itchiness from the stiffness of the fabric, and I'd found that if I slouch the center gore digs in a bit. The sore band area and stiff fabric should resolve with wear and washing. The gore is a good reminder for posture, I suppose.

    I have two additional problems.
    1. The straps, adjusted to their shortest ... length, still keep sliding off my shoulders. Either they are not short enough, or they are placed too widely for my shoulder width/shape. Note that I am one of those women who cannot hold a purse on one shoulder -- it will always slide off.
    2. The bottom of the cup is a fairly stiff supportive fabric, but the top of the cup is a stretchy lace. At the seam between these two fabrics, there is a little double boob going on, which suggests the stiff fabric is compressing the breast tissue.

    The bra is wearable enough that I'm keeping it, but next time I order this model I will try a 40JJ.

    Stunning looking and excellent quality, a little too loose for me in the band but I measure 26. I find the gore too high and the cups too shallow for my close set, projected breasts
