It fits!! It's just like my Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831), and fits the same, with a few minor issues like too wide wires and gore, but 1. I have ridiculously narrow boobs and get these problems in pretty much every bra, and 2. the bra stays up and isn't uncomfortable after a full day's wear (which is why I've marked them both as fitting). The shape is upfront and rounded, with good lower projection and an open top, like Marcie, and the fabrics are soft and not rough and itchy like in all the other Panache main brand bras I've tried. The colour is a gorgeous deep wine red with a lovely floral/rose print on the cups. This was my last try with Panache, and I'm very happy I didn't have to give up on them completely (especially with the white floral colourway coming out in SS15!)

This bra is very pretty to look at and comfortable, but the cups are a tiny bit too big for me. It is enough that it might not be a problem, but in addition to that, I think 28 bands are really the best for me right now. Wearing this one on the middle hooks right from the start and knowing I could probably be comfortably wearing it on the tightest hooks does not bode well for longevity.

About me: size 30FF/G or 32F/FF but most comfortable in 30G. Very projected, close set breasts with short and narrow roots. Even vertical fullness and center full. Best fitting bra is Cleo Lily in 30G.

I really wanted to like this bra, because it's beautiful and the lattice at the top is different from anything that I have. Unfortunately, this bra fits me very poorly. The wires on this are pretty long, so they poke into my armpits on the sides. The center gore is both high and wide, and since I'm so close set, it floats a little. I usually have issues with ... gores either floating or poking into my breasts, but it seems to be worse in this bra. I have tiny shoulders, so the straps are way too far apart for me.

Even though a lot of people have said that this bra runs big, this colorway (black floral SS16) seems to run small on me. The back band is very firm, and I'm getting in cup quadding on my larger side. This doesn't seem to be a shape mismatch since I fit well into similar bras like the Ellis.

As for pros, I think that this bra is beautiful and classy looking. The fabric is comfortable and not itchy, and very supportive for soft tissue. It has great projection and gives a nice, rounded shape. Despite the gore issues, this bra still manages to give me good separation.

I may try altering this bra since it's so pretty. I also really want to try the Ivory color to see if some of the fit issues that I had were limited to this colorway.

Black/Floral colorway

This is my first non-moulded bra that fits, and I love it! This bra is very forgiving in terms of size; I really could use a 30GG but the 30G looks great still. I have this in the aurora colorway. It's absolutely gorgeous, and doesn't show through most dark shirts. The cups are deep and wires are fairly narrow, which isn't really my preference but it helps to give a projected shape. The mesh on the top of the cups doesn't stretch like lace does, which I was worried about because I thought it would make my full on top shape quadboob. Even though this is about a ... cup size smaller than I'd prefer, by some sort of magic I don't quadboob hardly at all! The bra is very supportive, firm fabric, and gives a fairly round uplifted shape (ever, ever so slightly pointy but not in an unflattering way). It's comfortable and doesn't move around throughout the day. I wore this for 16 hours at Disneyland, moving around a lot, and it wasn't bothering me by the end of the day. My only complaint is the high center gore, which pokes/itches a tiny bit between my close set breasts, but it's not particularly bothersome. Overall, a gorgeous, supportive, comfortable bra!

This bra is so pretty! Unfortunately, it's a tad tight in the band and just a little big in the cup. Seems to be great quality.
