    Finally, a bra that rests against my sternum! This bra is beautiful and surprisingly comfortable. The downsides: 1. The dark pink lace going over the top of the bra kind of flares out. That (and the horizontal seam that goes over the fullest part of the breast) tend to show under clingy shirts. 2. The hook that adjusts the length of the straps has this odd fold sewn into it, it seems rather bulky and unnecessary. However, I don't notice it when I'm wearing the bra. I usually need to sew my bra straps shorter, but in this bra I have let them out to be the longest they can be. Beware if you aren't short waisted!
    All that being said, this is the most beautiful bra I have ever owned. I can wear it under most of my clothing for work. I am very happy with it.
    ADDENUM: I bought this bra when I was losing weight, and I should have lost about 5 more pounds to get a better fit. Now, it's too small

    Cute, comfy bra. The straps are a little too wide for me, but other than that it fits pretty well. There is a little bit of wrinkling at the middle of the cup which is kinda weird, but otherwise it fits fine. I'm not sure that I'm a huge fan of the pattern, though.

    I bought this bra hoping that maybe something would fit. I've tried many sizes and nothing is right. There are a lot of problems with this bra for me. My right boob is significantly larger than my left so that could just be a problem with me and bras. However, on my larger breast, the top of the cup digs in a lot but the lace is not affected as much. On my smaller side the bra fits just right but with a tiny wrinkle up in the diagonal corner by the strap. The gore of the bra pushes into my chest very firmly and is somewhat uncomfortable. The band was not stretchy at all and was ver stiff as well. Where should I go from here? I don't like the pointy boobs:l

    • Hi, craftbug!! What you want to do first is size your bra to fit your large breast. Then you can pad/fill the other side to fill in the empty space. Many of us have the same problem. : )

      Also, if the band is too firm try an extender. That may help with with gore digging in as well. You'll still need to size up for you larger breast (and pad the smaller) but this will help tell whether the gore is stabby in general or if the band is to blame.

      You didnt attach your measurements to this review, which makes it hard for us to help you understand why it doenst fit. but it looks like a serious shape AND size issue - maybe too projected and short, and definitely too small too small

      I'm pretty sure measurements are only attracted to fit requests, but that's a good idea too. Add this as a fit request and you may get more insight and helpfulness :)

    This is the first time I am wearing it. The band feels very firm--I am truly a 28E, and I think would work well for other 28 band wearers. Something in the back of the band is slightly uncomfortable, though--it is itchy and kind of pokes me, but I may attach some softer fabric to cover the clasp area there to see if it will help.

    EDIT 8/11/14: Third time wearing it, after washing it last night (albeit in a laundry detergent). Back of band that previously seemed itchy is now comfortable and unnoticeable. Whole band seems to have been broken in to feel ... like a fairly true to size 30, rather than my previous comment about 28s.

    EDIT 9/4/14: This bra fits well but I think gives a slightly pointier shape than I would like.

    EDIT 15 Feb 2015 before rehoming: I decided this didn't really fit because of my tall roots, and therefore the top of the cup cuts in/wrinkles there (this wasn't a big deal when I had first gotten it, but now that I have better fits, I don't really wear it).

    The shape is a bit downward-pointy, but not too bad, and the wires fold over each other between my breasts. Other than, fits well. Can feel a bit tight after wearing for a long day. Love the purple pattern and the stiff, supportive materials.

    The color and design of this bra is very beautiful, however I am still experimenting with proper fitting and this cup size was much too small for me.

    I bought this on clearance at Bare Necessities, and really wish I had remeasured myself before buying it, because I would have known to go up a cup size or two. The band and center gore are absolutely perfect, though.

    I could not have found a worse fit for myself, talk about the wrong shape! In short, definitely not for those in the shallow spectrum!

    I initially wasn't sure about this model, but I'm glad I went and ordered it. I picked it up because it was a good deal. I got the black with red flowers print which I wasn't overly in love with when I previewed it, but I actually like it better in person. Edited: As of 12/2014 I grabbed this bra in the light blue as well. Seems to fit equally well.

    Compared to my other @Panache and @Cleo bras, this one has more narrow straps which is great. When I tried it on I had to double check if it was supposed to be a balconette bra since it ... fits more like a full coverage bra than my other balconettes. I don't mind this, but that may be a negative to some others. The band is supportive, didn't feel tight and wasn't too stretchy. Cups seemed to be a good volume for me, though I had nursed my baby shortly before trying it on so it might be tight when my breasts are more full. I had read some reviews which suggested this bra runs a little small, but I have found the fit acceptable so far. The top edge of the bra has a little stretch to it so that may allow for a bit of leeway.

    The wires might be a little wide for me though they seemed about on par with the other @Panache bras I've tried on. I found that the wires rub in my armpit somewhat uncomfortably, which is an annoyance. I'm not sure if I can adjust it so that's less of an issue, but if not that may make me not want to wear this bras for long days.

    I really like the shape of this bra. So far my best fitting bras are my @Panache @Floris in 32JJ and @Cleo Chloe in 32J. The Floris gives more of what I'd call a torpedo boob effect (though it's not super noticeable with my clothes), but the @Fern gives me a very nice, rounded shape which I really like.
