Obviously, the band is too large for my 32.5 inches underbust and I can easily fasten it to the tightest hook, but the cups are perfect and the centre gore lies flat (not flush but flat) against my sternum, with the band fastened to the middle hook. The wires sit on top of one another, which takes up less place between my close set boobs. They do come up a bit higher than I'd like and can poke me at times. Still, this should be a pretty good fit once I alter the band.
I really liked the print when I first saw the bra, but wasn't crazy about ... the large lace part. Since then, I've seen people raving about the stretch lace and how accomodating it was. Now that I've tried it, I see their point, but apparence-wise I would still like a bra made completely out of the print fabric or at least with a smaller lace section. The lace is good at preventing quadboobs, but doesn't shape the breast tissue, so if you're ful on top, this really shows! I personnally prefer a little more support there.
The bra gives me more projection than I prefer and makes my boobs look taller than they are. It gives a very upfront shape, which I like though.The wires are shorter on the sides than on old Panache styles, but the centre gore is still pretty high. Even though the band is too big, the wires don't slide down over the course of the day, but stay firmly at the crease under my breasts.
I had to force the staps to adjust them short enough for me as the adjustable part is very small.
As usual with Panache, the quality is good.
Edited to add that the band tends to ride up even after being altered for some reason.
