Since AW2013 - Non-padded balconette bra in various flower prints.

This bra is discontinued.
I bought this because I was starting to quad out of my other Florises, but this is clearly too big. I'm even on my period! But i do seem slightly smaller than I was yesterday, I think. I'll probably keep it anyways - my first one, the loose lace seemed to calm down with one wash. Not quite sure yet.
My measurements do seem slightly bigger than other 32JJs, which is a bit odd.

thanks JJ
Actually like this better than Fern, although out of the box they look almost identical. The material is stiff but softer and smoother than Fern. Same issue with wrinkling and gapping but not as obvious as Fern. I don't think going down a cup size would help since I'm filling out the bottom of this. Also, the gore almost doesn't tack. It's hard to get positioned and actually a little too close set int the cups. Never happens with my wide set boobs. How many ways am I going to find for a bra NOT to fit?. And last but not least, I am getting an in-cup quad ding or camel toe that looks horrible under clothes.

This bra can actually contain my boobs! I bought this bra because I heard the cups ran large, and lucky for me they do. I'm still not entirely sure what size bra I should wear because this is the only one I've found with cups that are completely big enough. The wires are too tall for me, but I can shorten them. They're also too wide, but I don't really care that much because I'm so happy that there's no quad boob.
Edit: I have shortened the underwires and lowered the wings by about 3/4 of an inch. The bra is now extremely comfortable for a full day's wear.

So butiful bra! I like this bra.
but too small cup, too large band.
I don't know my correct size.
I must go up two cup, and must down one band.

This is my first non-Cleo Panache bra and the quality seems very good. The design is a little more matronly than I prefer (I have the reddish-purple rose print). I have narrow, projected, FOB breasts. I believe this bra was made for someone with more upper fullness than me as I have a significant amount of loose fabric at the top of the cup. The gore doesn't tack and I get some in-cup quadding at the center seam where it cuts in. Unfortunately this is a shape mismatch and that can't be fixed by changing cup size.
The top of the cup is scalloped which probably helps it disappear under tight-fitting tops. I have fairly short roots and the gore is very high - it comes almost level with the upper part of my breasts.

This bra is not open enough for my tall roots. However, it provides decent projection for me. Bra is gorgeous, just not the right shape for me.

Pretty bra, but a shape mismatch for me. This bra has decent projection, but cuts in at the top if you've got tall roots. This bra also gives a slightly pointy shape.

The purple colorway is very pretty. The fit is very similar to Cleo Lily in the same size. It is just slightly small on me. I don't quad or spill, but I would like a bit more projection and a bit more openness on top. I like that it fits similar to a Cleo, but yet has 3 hooks

For the most part this bra fit better than I expected - I ordered it because I got a good deal and I remember the name coming up in previous fit checks and recommendations. I like the firm band and feel like it keeps me very contained regardless of how I'm sitting or standing. The straps are fully adjustable which is great because I'm a shorty with a short torso (this wasn't so great with tall wires/wing though). The gore comes up pretty high in the front but it lays flush and is comfortable and contributes to the overall contained, supported feeling.
The out-of-the-box impression of the fabric was ... that it was pretty soft and light while still solid. Wearing it, the fabric was not forgiving at all along the top line. You basically have to fit it perfectly on top for there to not be floating fabric or a quadboob effect. Luckily I'm close enough in the upper fullness department, although I had slight quadboob standing straight up with shoulders pulled back and floating fabric if I'm sitting at the computer writing a bra fit testimony - I don't think it helps that I have tall roots but it works. The cup definitely has enough depth for me and seems like a Panache- Cleo lovechild. It gives a very "rain drop" look from a side view and is front-and-center, very much like a Cleo (love) but with a more firm 3-hook band (double love).
Lastly I think I'm the only person on the planet who actually quite likes the Rose Print colorway (looks true to online models). The band along the backside is a pretty, deep red like the straps. Red is also my favorite color, so...

It's pretty, and the fabric's smooth on the skin. I bought my default size (32FF) because I'd heard this band ran a little looser than other Panache bands, and I find that to be true. The problem is that it's still a teensy bit tight for me (I prefer a firm-but-gentle fit), and the cups are maybe a tad odd under the breast.
I'm keeping it. I got it on sale and it's still pretty darn nice. I think it just needs a hook extender and I'm set.
