This is a beautiful bra. The lace is lovely and I really like the colour. It could work as a nude on a lot of skin tones. The cups are fairly projected and lightly padded, and the foam is nice and soft against your skin. The 28G fits me really well, I think. I get a very small amount of quad boob on my larger side. The band is nice and snug and the overall comfort is good. I do find the wires a little long so they are rubbing into my armpits a bit, and the gore digs into my sternum slightly. While I love the aesthetics ... of this bra, I do get a bit of an upside-down 7 shape with it, especially on my larger side. Overall, I'm happy with this bra. My breasts are narrow, soft and pendulous with a FOB, centre-full shape and lots of projection just above the wire.

Update- Having worn this for a full day, I can tell it doesn't have enough projection above the wire. The underwire marks are more than an inch below my IMF when I take it off.

Pretty bra, but it just doesn't work for my shape. The straps are a little padded which makes them feel very nice but also makes them kind of hard to adjust. When I did adjust the straps so they were short enough for me, it caused the wings to dig right into my armpits. The straps are also set pretty far apart, so it doesn't sit well on my slightly narrow shoulders. It's gotten really hard for me to find a bra in my size without tall cups/wings. The search continues...

So I was intrigued to see Panache was putting out a cut and sew foam cup bra, and when finally (finally), it became available grabbed one in my usual size of 34H. The initial release of Cappuccino doesn't excite me as much as the black and gold coloration coming this winter. But I'm not sure this bra is going to end up working for me.

Much to my surprise, the cups AND band were both huge! Lots of empty space along the top and too wide wires, plus I got the ol' Panache Pucker at the gore, where the edge of the cups pinched out with more empty space. ... It's not unlike what I experience in the Porcelain Elan T-shirt bra I had back at 38G. The band felt way too loose and I could stretch it out a mile, and with all the empty space it was hard to tell if this bra would work for me at a smaller size.

Believe me, I was not expecting to need a 32 band in Panache at any point in time, but I sent the 34H back to exchange for a 32H.

This is a lovely bra. The pattern is pretty and feminine, the foam padded cups are super soft, and the elastic on the band and straps wide and comfortable. Unfortunately, there was both a shape and size mismatch.

The strap and cup placement was excellent. This is the first bra I've tried that stays far away from my armpits.

On first try, the band seemed tight enough on the loosest hook, but upon trying it backwards and upside down, the band was most comfortable on the tightest hook. It was actually decently tight compared to other 28s I tried, especially by Freya, but I think it would best ... fit a true 28 band (I'm a 26).

The cups were a bigger problem. They were overall too small and I was quadding on my larger side. The horizontal seam in the cup was also awkwardly shaped so that it was pointy and created a tiny gap along it rather than laying flush against the breast.. Under clothing, this created a triangular rather than rounded shape.

The gore was a disaster. It floated about an inch away from my body and half of it was resting on the breast tissue of my larger boob. It's 1" wide and reaches the middle of my breasts, which is way too wide for me since I only have less than a pinky's space in between.

Recommendations are very welcome!

My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.

This bra fits true to size in the band, and probably true to size in the cups (or maybe a little small?). My larger side is too big for most of my bras right now, so that's skewing my assessment, unfortunately. I may wait a week or two and try it on again.

I was worried this bra wouldn't have enough depth at the wire, and I was right. As much as I tried shoving the wires up, I couldn't get them all the way into my IMF. The wires are also too wide for me, so I think that's contributing to the empty space at the bottom of the cups.

I was really hoping this bra would work for me, but sadly it will be returned.

So sad, not the right shape or size. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Cups too closed on top, projection slightly too shallow at the base, wires too wide, band too snug. I'm currently teetering between 28 and 30 bands, and this maxes at 29 inches and that is stretching hard.
The wires are probably being pulled too tightly, and being very firm, the top end HURTS under my arms. The top edge of the cups could probably be stretched out to be more open, but even if I tried a 30E, I still think the wires would be too wide. Shape is not quite right. I'll have ... to return it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> At least Breakout Bras gives free returns, but it is SO SAD because I've waited and anticipated this bra for soooo long. It's so pretty!! Not quite the dusky lavender-taupe shade I was expecting from all show and product pictures, but still fabulous.
The shape has a lot of center and inner projection, but not extremely deep at the wire, and about average on upper edge. Too closed for me, but I've read too open for others.
The worst part... Panache just CANNOT figure out the back!!! Those straps are WAY too wide for narrow and/or sloped shoulders!! I had to tighten them uncomfortably and kept sliding them up towards my neck to make me feel like they wouldn't fall off.
Another bra just to add to the database, but didn't work out. :'(

Returned 10/10/2017.

This is my first almost perfect bra after finally finding my true size thanks to this community and /r/abrathatfits. It fits me perfectly in every way except for the gore diggin into my sternum. I can’t decide whether it’s uncomfortable enough to return it though, because everything else is so perfect! I have worn it all day and the gore digging is somewhat livable. The only other thing is that the shape of my breasts in this bra is good but not great. They are definitely a little torpedo-y. Still on the hunt for absolute perfection.

Cup was way too big, I think the apex of the bra and my breasts didn't match up (there was empty space in the largest point in the cup), it was also slightly too big on the top seam. The gore is too high and it digs in. The bra is very bulky as well which I did not like.

I love this bra. I find it comfortable and sexy.

This fits me amazingly! One of the best bras (great support) that I have owned. I hope to find more bras with this fit.

I might not buy it at full price, but I found it under $25 and bought it in store. I'm looking into buying more if they go on sale again
