This bra runs very big in the cup - which for someone like me, is a great thing. I actually measured the depth about three or four times and got between 41 cm and 43 cm, the most common being 42 cm. I still can't believe it, as that would mean it was like several cup sizes large. Did I just get a fluke or is this really that deep? But it is also somewhat wide (well, for someone as narrow as me) so it could just be Panache going a bit crazy with the measurements in large sizes.
It reminds me a great deal of the Panache Jasmine ... in terms that it has a projected look. It is probably very similar to the Cleo Ellis which has also said to be similar to the Jasmine in shape, but as I haven't tried that bra yet, I can't verify. I got wrinkling at the top rather than cutting in despite my FoT breasts, but that is likely due to the fact that it is actually too big for me. I like that it is made of a nice sturdy material with little stretch compared to other bras. The wires are as I said, somewhat wide (very wide for me) and have a kind of shallow shape, but they are very hard.
I am kind of a geeky, gothy, yet whimsical person in terms of style, but the artistic nature of this bra is really kind of pretty to me. I think it's definitely a love it or hate it bra as at first I hated it until I got it in person and really looked at all of it's accents.
I am ordering two smaller sizes because this bra certainly has potential despite all of my fit issues with it. I am hoping that there won't be cutting in on top, but we'll see. I will be adding a detailed review once I have tried the correct size.
