This bra seemed comfortable but was not a good shape match for me. The cup and band fit well. The gore and sides were too tall and caused the wires to dig. The straps were too far apart in front and cut into my underarms. I liked the height of the cup itself and thought it was beautiful. There was a bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup, so I think it was a touch shallow for me.

Stretchy lace, really soft, feels great overall. Everything I want a bra to feel to the touch. Super comfortable. Unfortunately it's much too big in the band. The gore on me doesn't tack fully but I can overlook it because it's comfortable, but I will have to return this. I might try 32K but it'll still probably be too big in the band.
I read that this one was based on a combination of Envy and Quinn, I've not tried either of those but both had been recommended to me so I figured I'd try this combo instead. It goes quite high up into the armpits, like Jasmine, but where I don't fill out Jasmine at all in the top of the cup, Imogen fits almost perfectly.
If you are around my size, I'd suggest sister size down at least once. The band in this 34 stretches easily to 40 inches. Big yikes.

This is the first Panache bra (other than the tango ii which I hated) where I felt like it was too big all the way around. Maybe I'm just not a 34GG. This is very similar to the Envy in terms of support, and I like that about it because I like a little forward pushing from the sides. This gore feels particularly high too me, but as with all Panaches I am being poked in the chest and under the armpit by the underwire. As always, a very pretty bra and feels well constructed.

Such a pretty bra but the horizontal top cuts across my boob, which is not flattering or supportive. Below the stretch lace, my boob is compressed and super pointy. The lower portion is great. Alas.

So pretty! Band too tight on me and the tops of the cups were empty. It almost looked intentional. If the gore wasn’t digging into my chest, I might have kept it despite the loose cups. Returned.

This is a really nice bra in looks and comfort. The cups seem nice and deep. The fabric could be a little softer, but overall, not a bad bra. The main problem for me is the elastic on the top of the cups. If it was plain stretch lace, I think this bra would be a total win for me. Unfortunately, the elastic cuts in and causes quadding. This might be easily remedied by removing the elastic. This was a try-on bra, so I’m unable to do that, but if I end up wanting to buy this in the future, I think removing the elastic would work in my favor.

Wires are too wide, but that seems to be every bra on me. The elastic at the top of the cup pushes in my softer tissue just a touch, but not enough to go up a size. A good fit.

The 30F - Panache » Imogen Balconnet (10161) works for me as a bra under loose and thin shirts, dresses and blouses in summer. This bra makes my breasts point forward and a bit pointy in shape (instead of a more rounded shape). There is elasticity at the top, so no quad-boob under my thin summer clothing. You can notice the texture of the lace and the seams of the bra a little under my thinnest of shirts. I am not bothered by that. The color is amazing and is invisible under white summer clothing.
I was encouraged to go for 30F instead of 32E by the consultant. Though I was initially hesitant, I decided to trust her advice. After wearing it 4 or 5 times, it still gives me red lines from being so tight. When buying another bra, another consultant saw redness and said a bra should not irritate my skin. One wider (32/70) was still tight enough in her opinion. She did agree that the fit around the cup was pretty much perfect.

Thanks for the review. I was curious about this style too, I have tried Envy in the past and I found it very uncomfortable. Jasmine is too open on top for me. Too bad about the band stretching so much?! Meh :(
I think you could size down in cups too, maybe try 32JJ?
