This is one of a couple of bras that convinced me that I was wearing a too-tight band. It's fine with an extender.

This bra is a good everyday bra. The first day a wore it I was feeling uncomfortable because the band was very itchy and the wires were poking in my sternum but after that first day I didn’t have problems any more, and it became a very comfortable bra. I also like the fact it pushes my breasts in front but also keeps them separated. So I like the shape, the comfort and lift it gives me.

The embroidery in the sheer mesh upper is beautiful. The 30 band is firm but not overly tight as the 30F Cleo Marcie's I tried recently. I bought this from Freshpair because I was curious if the Loretta's embroidery looked as good in person as online. It does. The price was excellent, too. Since I'm obsessed with the cleavage half cups give me, I shouldn't have bought this bra. I have not worn it out of the house. I only have one top that exposes enough of my chest to require a plunge. But it's winter, and I don't want to wear that top.

The wires seem to ... encase my side tissue. I have a lot of side tissue. Finding underwires wide enough is my greatest bra challenge. I wonder whether the side tissue would stay encased if I wore the Loretta for long periods of time. Because the center gore is so low, I feel there is less stability. A higher center gore, like that in a full cup or half cup bra, helps pull the side tissue to the front of my chest. I don't get that stable feeling when wearing a plunge.

Best plunge I've found so far - works with even my lowest cut tops. The bottom of the cup creases, but is full. The cups are a little bit wide, but that's helpful for keeping breast tissue in a plunge. After a while my breasts will fall towards the center, but works better than most. Super comfortable straps and band.

I found that the band was too stretchy for me. Most of the support ended up coming from the straps. Also it seemed that the cups were too small, but I am still figuring out my size. This bra may work for someone else.

Thgis bra is way to big in the cups and the band was a bit snug for me. Going to return it to Nordstrom. I'm sure they're great bras though as popular as they are.

Lace was soft and band fairly stretchy. Small boob the cup was a good fit and cut into larger on. A lot of side boob. Felt uncomfortable under arms. Like a lot of fat there.

The band is much looser than other Panache 34's I own. I think it's because of the smoother satiny mesh that is part of the "luxe". I usually wear new 34's on the loosest hook. I can fasten this on the tightest but am comfortable on the 2nd. The cups are also slightly larger than other Panache models I own. Not so noticeable on my larger breast, but on my smaller one I really had to scoop hard to mostly fill the cup. It's not a deal breaker as I can just pad the smaller side. The bra is very smooth and soft. Plus it's absolutely gorgeous! I could probably go down a cup size ... Maybe. But I think a whole band size would be too small.

Unfortunately this bra does not fit me at all, I think the cups are too small but also the shape is wrong for me. It is very pretty though and the materials are nice.

Band runs tight, but stretches out quickly - like I put it on with an extender and 10 minutes later I could fasten it. Cup is perfectly sized. Band adjusts 1/2 way, but fine for me. Beautiful colors. Dark teal background with dark and light pink floral embroidery with matching silk ribbon bow at center gore. Comfortable so far - no poking anywhere. Sides are high & I get no side spill.

Gives a pointy-boob look. Not good for narrow-set breasts. Pokes in the underarm. Runs tights.

The cups on this model seem to be more closed on the top than the Freya Deco, and especially since this cup size is way to small on me, there is mega quadboob going on. The straps are way more comfortable though: thinner, more silky and less rough. Definitely love the sleek look of it, though.

One of my old bras, I got it a year ago. It completely flattens my boobs and I look wider than I am. It's definitely not for my shape. I do like the simple and neat look of this bra, and the thin yet supportive straps. But I won't wear it again.

The center gore is much too high - not only does it poke me, but it's also visible in the necklines of many of my shirts.

Updated on Jan 27, 2013 Flag this

This fit similarly to Curvy Kate plunges for me - wide and shallow cups which aren't at all compatible with my shape. It's a shame, because it's a multiway bra and these are a rare find in the world of small back/large cup bras. You can't wear it strapless, but you can have any strap combination you like and the centre gore is nice and low for versatility.

The band is true to size, so it's too loose for me in a 28. It's got quite a lot of stretch to it, which makes it comfortable but not great if you like tight bands. The cups are lightly padded ... and a nice white satin material lined with what feels like cotton. There wasn't anything about it that irritated my skin.

I had a bit of a problem with the straps in that they're too long for me when wearing as a 'normal' bra, despite being fully adjustable. I do often have a problem with straps being too long, so others may not struggle with this. I think it's also a symptom of the straps needing to be long enough to convert to a halterneck.

This is one of my favorite bras. It is beautiful, sexy, feminine and comfortable! This is an all day bra, very comfortable and supportive. The fabric is beautiful and you just feel like wearing it!

I bought two of these from breakoutbras, that's how much I love this bra... It gives you great cleavage too. You would think that since the top part is sheer, it would not provide much support, but it is supportive. Another good bra to wear to work. Plus it is gorgeous!!

Band rides up and feels loose. A few cups sizes too small, I think, but sizing up (if it were possible) would likely mean wires that are too wide. Can't seem to fill the bottom, but quadboobing massively.

I really like this bra. It is a lovely pattern (i have the navy blue with oriental flowers colourway)
It comfortably fits all of my breast tissue into it, and has a nice wide back strap to prevent back -fat.
However, for me the central gore is a problem. Until i tried to wear bras that fit my boobs, i didn't really notice how close my boobs were to one another. the central gore on this bra, (and all of my others!) is too wide and high for my boobs, meaning it digs into my sternum.
Despite the slight uncomfort re central gore, i would say this bra fits me well. It gives a good shape and my boobs are very secure. When i jump i get barely any movement which is quite incredible for a normal bra!

So, I ended up exchanging the 32F for a 32FF - in the navy and plum colorway this time. This bra is lovely looking, but it still has a bit of a strange fit - I found the similar issues as the Panache Tango II. It seems to be made for boobs with more projection and a narrower root. Thus, I get a little bit of cutting in at the top of the cup (quad-boob), as if it were too small, but also a little bit of wrinkling in the cups, as if it were too large. Additionally, the wire comes up a little ... higher in the armpits than I would like. However, these issues aren't as pronounced with this bra as much as the Tango (perhaps because the fabric is not as stiff), and it's still rather comfortable, so I'll keep it instead of sending it back. Perhaps a little bit of wear will stretch the fabric where it needs to be stretched. Quality-wise, it seems par for the course with Panache - very soft fabrics, well constructed, and a nice looking design.
