Tried the 28F (DDDD) but the band and cups were too small, more so the band. My review for that size is here:
http://bratabase.com/browse/panache/porcelain-molded-seamless-underwire-3376/28F/
I was able to find this 30F in Nordstrom and try it on. MUCH better fit!
I still have problems with Panache's fit and sizing. The cups are spaced a little too far apart, and they seem to run in between sizes. I have just a tiny bit of room to grow into these cups, yet the next cup size down (which I have been able to try on in 30DDD and 32DD) is way too small. It's not something noticeable though as far as ... gapping goes, so I'm keeping this size. What I do find odd though is there is less seperation (by 1/8") between the cups in the 30F as opposed to the 28F. Also, instead of there being a full 1" of difference in cup depth, there's only 3/4". The wires are a little tall in the center for the overall shape of the cup. I have a Victoria's Secret Cotton full coverage bra in a 34D that has the same exact cup dimensions as this, but the wires are shorter, more proportioned to the cup.
I wish this were made with a full band because it would have great support! But I don't get quad-boob in the 30F and it looks great under t-shirts. So now I know what size I need in Panache.
Overall, I like this bra, and this size fits a lot better! But I wish it would provide better support and lift. I'm still pointing down and out.
