Very nice smooth bra that will not show under clothes. Only problem seemed the straps are wide enough that it pulls a little when I use my arms. It also causes the cups to gap a little. I do have the wrong size cup, though, so perhaps if I size down the cup the issue will go away. Otherwise I like the bra.

This is the bra that's supposed to be comfortable for everyday wear. It's not!
The cup is too big and it goes too high under the arms so it hurts to wear it after a few hours.

This bra is honestly too moulded or stiff for my boobs. It's awkward fitting and truly doesn't match the shape of my breasts.

This is a WONDERFUL bra. The only two things I have issues with is that it seems like the band is a lot stretchier than it was when I got it, but it doesn't ride up at all so it's not a problem. Sometimes the underwire pokes me in my armpits but thats probably more due to my body shape than the bra shape.

I feel that I can't accurately review this bra as it is the first properly fitting bra I have worn in a long time and the style is different than I am used to. A critique would be unfair as I am getting used to a whole different feel.

This bra is a touch too shallow for me, so I get a bit of quadboob if I scoop really thoroughly, and the bottom pushes down and wrinkles if I don't pull it up now and then. It's not such a problem that I can't wear it, and I love the shape it gives under clothes, so I work with it. It's very comfortable and looks smooth and round under t-shirts.

This is a design that seems made for me. Unlike the Panache Porcelain, Viva's straps are sewn onto the tops of the cups, so rather than make a circle around the side of the body, they pull the cups upward onto my shoulders. This slight difference in design makes a huge difference in fit for me. The straps do not fold into my underarm tissue as they do on the regular Porcelain. The regular Porcelains straps are sewn at a 45 degree angle to the tops of the cups, while Viva's straps are at a 90 degree angle to the tops of the cups.

The ... underwires completely enclose my breast tissue, the center gore is narrow, I don't get quadra-boobs or "escape" out the sides, I get a lovely "rounded, lifted" look, and it's comfortable! It's also very pretty (I have a bright red-coral one). In photos online (I live in US but purchase from a UK boutique) this bra appears to be thicker and "heavier" than it actually is. I'm so glad I took the chance on it. It's as lightweight as a moulded bra can be (much more lightweight than my other favorite moulded bra, Soma Sensuous Sides), and even though it's moulded, it doesn't feel "padded" at all. It forms to my shape. I love it!

The band is a size too big so I have to have it on the tightest hook for it to not ride up, and the cup is obviously slightly too small. After a day of wear the underwires start to bother my underarms because they are too high and the straps are too far apart. Other than that it is rather comfortable. Just doesn't fit perfect.

This bra is cute, extremely comfortable and gives medium support. The top of the cups is a bit tight, but not enough to cause quad boob. The cups hae more projection at the base than the freya deco, making this my preferred tshirt bra line. There is a good bit of stretch in the band and straps.

This is the perfect tshirt bra for me. I usually fit into a 28 band, but I believe that Panache tends to have very tight bands, so the 30 is perfect for me. That, plus the fact that it is very stretchy in the band makes this a super comfortable bra.

The cups are perfectly filled by my bottom-heavy breasts - no gapping in the top like I am used to with bra cups that come higher up. I have average-to-narrow shoulders, and the band of this bra fits right in the 'sweet spot', the dip between my shoulders and where my neck ends. This fits perfectly! Definitely an everyday bra that I don't have to worry about the bra itself or my nipples peeking through my shirts.
