My chest is full on the bottom and sides, slightly shallow on top and rather tall. I also have broad shoulders for my size. I don't love this, and I can't figure out why. I love the fabric, even though the lace is a itchy. However, I feel as though my chest might be too broad for it though, and the top of the cup feels as though it cuts into my chest just the tiniest bit. Also the straps on mine were super hard to adjust. They did not want to move. I kinda feel as though this may not be the shape for someone with a chest as tall as mine. I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong in my mind. Still pretty though. This is one of my recent grabs from postmark.
This color is very pretty on you. I think your assessment of your shape is correct and this bra is a little too closed at the top and a little to projected in the upper half of the cup, hence the slight wrinkling and cutting in.
lcl0706 Aha! Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I was wondering why I felt a little strain at the top of my chest and then was still seeing wrinkling in the upper half of the cup. Oh well. Guess I'll list it on here and see if anyone wants it!
I agree with lcl0706 with the shape of this bra. It is such a pretty bra and the color does suit you. I am sure is the fit was better the lace would not be so itchy.

For this one I think it's just a bit of a shape mismatch, the apex looks to be a bit higher than your natural apex and the gore looks like it is too wide for you. Is it lying flat against your sternum because in the pics it looks like it is not laying flat.
Thanks LeProfessor I suspected it could shape incompatibility! The gore lies flat on my sternum, but the top part just makes me so sad. Wrinkling and cutting in blech! Oh well! Back to the drawing board. I had my eye on the Comexim Annika Plunge Bra , because I noticed the reviews mentioned it was more closed at the top! I try that next, I think!
I'm at the beginning of my bra fitting journey, trying to sort out my proper size with help from Bratabase, Reddit's ABraThatFits, and many wonderful bra bloggers. I figure it's time to stop lurking and join the community! I will try to get pics before I return the Andorra. I own 2 ancient Body by VS 34DDs, which I now know do not remotely fit, and I just acquired a Claudette Dessous 34F and a Panache Andorra Full Cup 34E. I need to get over my social anxiety and body insecurity and check out my local Nordstrom's to try on different brands/sizes.
This bra is insanely comfortable! The only ...complaint I have is the profile shape I get, which from bottom to nipple is shaped slightly 'beaky' and compressed to a point. It's not the cute retro kind of point either, it's more of a compressed mammogram kinda point, but then the profile from the nipple up is a nice rounded yet contained shape, with no cleavage (but my breast shape makes it very hard to get cleavage, to my dismay, and I'm super full on top). I think this bottom beaky shape occurs because of Andorra's horizontal seam in combination with my natural shape. I should note that the second time I wore Andorra, the shape wasn't nearly as pointy. Otherwise, I feel comfortably contained, breasts are held close to the body, fabric feels soft and silky, everything feels locked in and secure (but I have firm tissue, so I don't have much jiggle to contend with) and very uplifted. I could see Andorra being a great everyday bra, and especially good for helping prevent button gape on non-stretch shirts, or to lessen the 'boob tent' effect of a flowy top. I wonder if the beaky profile is lessened for people who have a more even or full on bottom shape?
I'm pretty sure the 34E Mineral Blue Full Cup Andorra is a cup size too small for me. I need to take pics and ask for fit advice. The comfy stretch lace makes it so there isn't any bubbling over at the top. The color is more green/teal than the warm blue I expected, but still very pretty, and I like the color on the lace pattern cups, as I feel the light color interwoven with the "Mineral Blue" base color makes it more interesting and sophisticated. When I first put it on, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to close the band on the largest hook. I wore it for half an hour, laughed at the crazy shape the bottom half of the cups gave me, and took it off with the thought that I'd need a 36 band for sure, and possibly a larger cup. I was thinking maybe the profile wouldn't look so bizarre if I sized up, as I've read that this bra can look very pointy if it's too small. A day or so later I tried it on again to get some measurements, and surprisingly it felt a lot more comfortable! The band no longer felt too tight, but nice and secure on the largest hook, with no back fat spillage. Also, the shape wasn't nearly as 'beaky' and compressed in profile as it was for the first half hour of wear. Weird. I guess some bras really do have a kind of break-in period?
I also get a "beak" shape in all Panache unlined bras, unless they have only vertical seams. I got this shape when I was young and very firm with more breast height/upper fullness and I get it now I'm old, postbabies and very soft! The only thing that hasn't changed about my shape is that I'm projected with all my fullness on the inner side of the breast, and although gravity conceals it, my boob structure is technically rather conical if you're looking from the side. I think most Panache cups are seamed in a way that does not accommodate that. If you aren't hung up on designs being super trendy, Fantasie has some full cups that are perfectly shaped to match this breast shape--look for the ones that have straps which aren't too far apart.
Interesting! I wonder why some of us get that 'beak' shape in Panache's unlined bras? As I was reading your response, my first thought was, "Aha! It must be because of firm tissue!" and then as I continued reading, I realized that you still get the beak shape after changes in your tissue softness. Maybe it's due to having a projected and conical breast structure?
Thank you for the tip about Fantasie's full cups, and also to look for vertically seamed Panache bras. I would love to find a bra as comfortably soft to wear and yet still secure feeling as the Andorra, but minus the beak profile! I hope the Fantasie bras are as comfortable as the Andorra. I'm just figuring out what bra shapes will work best with my body. Trends are not very important to me; my priorities are comfort, along with looking nice (to me, 'nice' is not super pointy or east/west) under clothing. It's just a bonus if the bra happens to be what I consider pretty.
I think fundamentally "beak shape" occurs when some or all of your upper breast is not able to conform to the angle and shape of the relatively flattened Panache upper cup shape. (This can seem misleading because "flattened upper cup" doesn't mean FLAT upper boob surface from apex to cup edge: you can have super round boobs and still fit in there just fine as long as your tissue is located where the cup has room for it.) So anyone who has a taller breast shape than the cup, OR a higher breast apex, OR more upper-inner or upper-outer quadrant fullness than the cup does in your size range, is going to end up with this funny shape.
Thanks again for your thoughtful comments on the "beak shape" phenomenon! I didn't realize that there is such a large amount of variables that can affect bra fitting! I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge in this community, and glad to see this is a place free from body shaming. I really should take pics to accompany my review, and also to post under Fitting Help.
You're welcome! Yes, a wealth of knowledge is what happens when you get a large number of bra obsessed people in the same place ;-) And I'm glad to say there is no body shaming allowed at all!
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. :'(
Not pregnant or nursing. I bought this to have an alternative to the tail cutting 30J - Panache » Alisha Support (6096). This bra is softer than the Alisha and has 3 columns of hooks instead of two. The design is pretty and the lace isn't itchy. The straps are wider set than the Alisha, but this may be due in part to this being meant for a rib cage that is wider than mine. The cups are very wide, but since there are no wires this isn't much of a problem. The band is very stretchy and causes me shoulder and neck pain faster than the Alisha. This would be a perfect wireless bra if it only came in a 28 in my size. This bra is however, fantastic for sleeping. The nursing clips don't bother me and it stays in place very well.
My shape: center-height, forward-facing, very close-set teardrop with tall shallow roots but max lower projection, very wide roots with lots of side fullness, and very firm tissue that pushes push-ups right back
This review is for the black/nude colorway I got from a reddit user who thought she had the Panache Idina Balconnet Bra (6961) , one I've been wanting to try for ages. This is an ok runner-up, though! I love the gores on plunges, even though they're never my shape, and this one is just as wonderful as always. Is there a bra out there that's shaped like a Freya/Fauve half-cup but has a gore ...like a plunge? So far, that answer is no, so I try regular plunges instead! This one is quite tall for a plunge, but it doesn't feel like it when it's on.
The cups are very soft and smooth inside, which is great because I inevitably have problems with inside-cup seams scratching, and the foam lining is about as stiff as padded bras but without the boost in volume, so they're supportive and good for discretion and minimizing stair-bounce. Like most plunges, they are shallow-ish at the wire, causing the bra to ride down fairly quickly while as it tries to find the place with the most depth to accommodate my immediate projection. They also close more quickly on top than other plunges I've tried recently (or perhaps the band is a better size and keeps them more firmly against my chest, making it more obvious), so I get some serious quad boob that doesn't entirely dissipate after swooping and scooping. A 28G might solve all of this, though.
The wires are just on the firm side of the flexy-hard spectrum, which is nice for me. They are too narrow (again, might be solved by a 28G) and the wires are the wrong shape curve (typical, never had one that was right for my Nike Swoosh, not really a problem), but the sides of the cup are tall enough that my feisty side boob is mostly contained within them. The strangest thing, I think, is that there is almost a cm of space in the wire channel, but I can't push the wires out into it, so it's possibly sewn shut? Unless the previous owner did this to adjust her comfort, I've not seen it done by the manufacturer, and this still has the tags on it.
Ladies with long torsos or low-set breasts might need to watch out for the straps: I have them as long as they go, and they are just comfortable. Short ladies may like them, though, because they are fully adjustable. The band has 3 sets of 2 hooks, and is fairly snug on the loosest. It also has fairly tall wings, considering how far it tapers.
There is one spot that's bugging me, and it's where the "Panache" metal label is sewn on (not the tag, kind of on the side; see photos). Something is caught in the threads holding it on and it's scratching me. I'd probably just cut it off if I were keeping it.
Listing this one right away so I can start looking for a 28G! Read more 421 more words
I like this bra, but the gore is definitely too high for me! However, the wires and band are soft such as you would expect from a Freya bra.
My shape is: full on top, full of centre, close-set, very narrow and projected, tall roots, pendulous, slightly splayed.
This bra would fit super great if it was not for the gore! It sits on my breast tissue, which causes irritation, discomfort and instability of the wires. The top of the cups works nicely to accommodate my full on top + tall roots, but it can't handle my centre-fullness and it's not quite projected enough for me. I quad near the ...gore. The underwires tend to ride down because of the lack of projection and the non-tacking gore and I find myself nearly constantly pulling them back into my IMF. However the wire width is nearly perfect for me and this is what I like the most about this bra. On days where I spend most of my time standing, it's quite comfy and doesn't irritate me much, but regularly sitting down and standing up makes the underwires move around too much. I don't think I could handle the band to be much tighter so sizing down to 28FF doesn't seem like it would be a good idea.
It gives a very round shape but not extremely lifted, though I do find it very flattering under tightly fitted tops/dresses. The material is quite soft overall, especially the stretch top panel, but I find the mesh to be a bit rough on my skin. The band also rolls on itself under the cups, I don't know if this is due to or aggravated by my fitting issues, but it bothers me. Read more 178 more words
I found I could size down in the cup in this bra due to the stetchiness of the fabric which really helped the gore height, cup width, and support in general as the fabric was taut rather than floppy. I wonder if you could do the same?
cupandahalf Absolutely not, unfortunately. I tried the 30E in store before buying the 30F online, and 30E was obviously much too small. Since I have tall roots and FoT breasts, the shape of the cups is ideal for me. I really think the instability is due to the fact that the gore doesn't tack, it lacks projection so my breasts want to push the underwires down, and it's still a smidge too wide for me.
MY SHAPE: round, projected, even, close set, on the narrow end of average root width.
THE TAKEAWAY: Best for shallower breasts or breasts that don't need much immediate depth. Full cup + stretch lace on top half is quite accommodating and I think would work well for the whole range of vertical fullness. High gore is no bueno for close set busts. Band is stretchy, consider sister sizing down if possible.
DETAILS: Partly because the fit issues in my 30E - Panache » Clara Full Cup Bra (7255) have become much harder to ignore since I've had a slew of really good fits lately, and partly just ...for fun, I decided to size up in the cup and give the Clara another shot in the new AW16 Slate/Teal colorway. My hope with sizing up in the cup is that I might get a smidge more depth and that would alleviate the bottom of the cup wrinkling I get in the 30E. No dice. While I daresay the top of the cup actually looks better (I get a touch of quadboobing in the 30E, but none in the 30F), everything else is all wrong: the wires are about 1/2" too wide, the gore is waaaay too tall and does not play nice with my center fullness, and what's with the fact that my nipples are STILL in the sheer portion of the cup? For real, what's with that?
Clara, you're elegant AF, but you just won't work for me https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 147 more words
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing about the shallowness. I will avoid this beauty. Sigh. ;-)
Love4Pollinators I was starting to feel bad, I've been posting an avalanche of good fits lately - it was time to post up one that definitely, *definitely* didn't work ;)
I have been wanting to buy this as well (red/gold) but I am sure it does not suit me either as I need immediate projection as well. It's a shame as the bra is soooo beautiful :/
such a beautiful bra. It's been tempting. Thanks to your review I know this would never work for me.
Primula I know, this particular colorway is so gorgeous too :( I wish it was more accommodating for projected shapes!
Unless your boobs are exactly the same shape as the moulded cups with strong separation, this bra won't fit - there's no margin for error with this one. Long wires with closed cups and a very shallow, but tall gore make for a weird squashed (towards the chest cleavage) and serious quadboob. No amount of bending the wires can help that one. Also has the not troublesome, but aesthetically not great gap at the bottom which the Panache Porcelain range is infamously known for.
The Andorra Full Cup fits me almost perfectly and it gives my bust good lift and projection. The underwire is almost too long in the outer perimeter and after wearing for a day it almost started to bug me near my underarms,. Fortunately for me "almost" doesn't count so the fit is perfect. Another almost problem is due to an optical illusion when trying the bra on. When I look in the mirror with just the bra on it looks like there is too much east-west action. But put a t-shirt on and east-west is gone with the wind and my chest looks fabulous. This is my best bra since my recent bra-enlightenment. I was clueless before but now I am found. Thanks to Bratabase and bra bloggers of the world for sharing your wisdom!
Very short roots, projected, slightly narrow, even, close-set breasts....
Having previously tried this bra in 28G, I knew I needed a longer band to comfortably narrow the gore without creating the need for an extender. The wire channel is .75" longer than the wire. So, moving the wire as far as possible to the underarm creates a gore 2.1" tall. Still, the gore at that height is too wide. The gore narrowing alteration remains necessary. From my perspective, this gore is wide and close-set breasts will be forced to alter it.
Close-set users: When a wire is sitting on my breasts, the cup often feels too wide. However, once the ...breast is free from from the wire tether, the wire lifts the breast rather than sits on top of it. And, the cup width is no longer too wide. Until I overlapped and narrowed a gore, I did not understand how profoundly the gore width effected fit for my breasts. In fact, I thought my breasts were wide-set when I started my journey 8 months ago.
Because the band is too big, there is little support. But, narrowing the gore will shorten the band by nearly an inch. Then, the band will fit more snuggly. Because the immediate projection is not enough for my breasts, there is empty space in the bottom of the cup. Compared to other molded cups, Panache Cari has good immediate projection: Lulu Tout Madeleine has better immediate projection.
This bra is easy to wear and meets my simple list of requirements for an everyday bra.
Features: J-hook, side support, soft padded straps, flexible and soft spacer foam cups. Center-pull straps!
"Cashmere" is a neutral light beige colorway. Great nude for paler skin. Subdued tasteful detailing if a little safe and boring - soft picot trim along the edges of the cups, small heart-shaped bows in the same color as the bra. Geometric stitching as decoration on center gore and to the sides of the cups. Band is a single layer of power mesh. Spacer foam is very malleable and conforms well to my tons of bottom and center fullness, but the lack of seams and the soft material means I get a bit more ...of a widely set look despite narrow cups and side support, and that perky nipples are visible through the material. I'd say the cups fit a touch roomy, definitely not a full cup size but if you're between sizes or don't have much top fullness you may prefer to size down.
The bra is in general ridiculously comfortable but there are a few things that are a bit of a miss for me: 1) Unusually for Panache the 32GG has a two hooks and eyes rather than three. I like their three hook bands for extra support. 2) The underwires are extremely U-shaped. The underwires shift down for me because my inframammary fold doesn't have as steep a curve so pulling the bra 100% up will cause the underwire to sit on breast tissue in the lower outer area of the cup. 3) The side wings are really tall for this size. I can handle it especially because the last half an inch doesn't have underwire but still, that's a lot of side, and I think it looks a bit odd how it swoops down to a tiny two hook closure. 4) I'd prefer if the center gore was narrower. Again I can handle it and it wasn't uncomfortable but it's definitely not ideal. 5) The elastic used for the band has pretty firm edges that dig in a little bit. 6) The partially adjustable straps paired with a J-hook mean that if you have very high set breasts you may need to alter the straps a touch shorter. I'm high set but not to a huge degree and I wear the straps tightened almost to the max. Read more 273 more words
My shape: center-set mid-height FOB teardrop with super tall and super wide roots that give functional allover even fullness, super close center tissue, and very firm tissue that fights back when pushed around.
This review is also for the Blush/Floral colorway.
Basically, the fit problems that I have with the 30F - Panache » Thea Balconnet Bra (9261) are exacerbated by the larger cup size: the gore is even taller, more wrinkled extra fabric in the upper cup, more obvious underwire riding down due to shallowness in the bottom of the cup, and the apex is even higher. The cup edges under my arms still have little ...to no stretch and I can't really tighten the straps without hiking them right up into my armpits. Curiously, the band feels firmer, but the photos don't seem to indicate any difference, and I still tried it on the tightest set of hooks.
Definitely one for someone with shorter roots than mine!
I got this wonderful 34F - Panache » Floris Balconnet Bra (7311) from Aronymouse and I'm in love. The band and the cups fit perfectly but unfortunately on the tightest band setting. I love the look of this bra and the mesh/embroidery details on the top of the cup. They look delicate and vaguely lace-like while not showing up under clothes. This one's a keeper.
The first time I tried Olivia - in the upcoming cobalt colorway - I knew I had to own one...so I immediately grab a 30F deep jade! However, I'm experiencing some issues with the stretch of the bottom of the right cup, if anyone has any tips to solve this, I'm all ears!
I ADORE that color! I just can't justify buying more bras right now.... :'(
Hi, i am such a huge fan of balconnet bras, these styles suit my shape the best. This bra is such a nice color and so flattering. It really gives a wonderful shape to the breasts, very natural. This bra really looks to fit you perfectly and looks lovely on you. I dont think you could do any better, Maybe your right breast is a little smaller than your left. I know mine are slightly different in size. The wrinkling in the cup is hardly noticeable. Am so happy for you finding such a great bra that fits and is comfy.
I love the colour, it reminds me of the night sky! The shape and style really suits you so I wouldn't worry aboutvthe wrinkling, it's not much and it's barely noticeable
Such a lovely print! Beautiful flowers in petrol and purple, a really wintery design. The good parts; Jasmine has soft felted straps, a firm band, 3 hooks (from GG cups), nice stretchy lace on top and very firm supportive fabric in the lower cups.
However, Jasmine does seem to be my Goldilocks bra? Hard to find the perfect size!
I love my Animal Jasmine in 30GG, wear it a lot but it's somewhat small. So I sized up in Ricamo, 30H - rubs my armpits and wrinkles in the bottom. Bought a cheap older color (Navy floral) in 32GG to see if the tight band was the problem, but that one's ...almost unbearably chafey in my armpits.
Tried this new design in 32G (too flimsy & small), 32GG (too chafey) 30GG (this one) and 30H (same issues as Ricamo). Panache does seem to keep their fit pretty consistent in different Jasmine colorways. In the end I decided 30GG is best for me, but still not perfectly comfortable.. Kind of wide straps, some wire poking, band could be sliiightly looser. Not perfectly in my IMF (seems hard for me to get bras to stay there 😒) And I'm still not a fan of the mesh-like fabric that is somewhat scratchy. All not dealbreakers, but things I suppose they could improve on.
Maybe after first being SO impressed by Jasmine's gravity defying performance as an unlined bra, I'm also getting more critical these days.
Perhaps they could learn from Comexim and produce a Jasmine with straps moved in? And use the 4x eye setting and supersoft fabrics from Ewa? 😁 Read more 156 more words
awww, we can only wish right? I have a similar issue with unlined Cleos. My 32G red Minnie is as close to perfect as it gets, but all other color ways or variations on that cut are either a bit loose on top (32G), a tad small in the cup (32FF), causing ever so slight in cup quad boob, or chafe a little in my armpits (32G).
Oh well, I chalk it up to me becoming more perfectionistic as my bra knowledge progresses ;-)
I would still love to try the Jasmine and the Floris (I've never tried any Panache bras), but I'm currently on a little Ewa shopping spree...
Yeah if only all bra producers did custom alterations! 👌🏼
my focus is currently on my Comexim and Ewa wishlists as well.. Tried my first EM (Kwiaty) this summer and I've been wanting to buy Kicia for ages. Also reeaaally like Comexim Yoko. Just a little apprehensive as their wires seem slightly too narrow for me.
If you're still considering them, I've been pretty pleased about Panache - firm bands, sturdy under wires, generally good quality. Mostly wider than Polish bras though.
Thank you for this review! I have lost a little bit more weight since I posted my Panache Tango II 30HH and just got a Marcie in 30H that was hilariously too big. I was thinking about the Jasmine but I will have to think more. This at least helped me confirm what many reviews I've been reading saying that this bra is a completely random fit; if it does, its a dream and if it doesn't its just sad and uncomfortable. :/
EDIT: this bra does not have enough projection for me. When I hike the underwires up into my inframammary fold and tighten the band to force it to stay there, I get spillage all round the sides. It is probably a cup size too small for me, but I can tell it's also just the wrong shape, based on the fact that cups are already in my armpits in this size. I would recommend this to someone with moderate projection.
The fabric of the cup (not the wires) comes up too high for me in the underarm area. The straps themselves are not too wide, which I appreciate. ...Still, I wear this bra in my rotation because even though it's a size too small, it's very well made. It fits comfortably enough and gives me a lovely shape that is smooth under Tees (lace does not show). Excellent lift for heavy breasts. The 30 band is perfect for my 29" ribcage: I waver between the first and second hook after owning it for 6 months, wearing twice/week. Quality is HIGH, materials are comfortable but sturdy, and I particularly enjoy the copper-colored metal fastenings they chose. At certain times of the month, my smaller breast leaves a bit of gapping, but it isn't noticeable, and it fares much better than my Deco, for example. The padding here is not so stiff. If I could get this in the next cup size up with narrower wires, I would. Read more 138 more words
Just purchased this bra last night. It wasn't a risk - I know this bra works for me. The print is very cute. The Jasmine provides a very high lift and a ton of forward projection. I really love this bra.
I am not experiencing any of the 'strange tissue folding' that I got in my other 32J jasmine in the black/grey leopard print. Link to that review: http://bra.pe/XNck/ I have lost about 15 pounds since I got that bra. I have not experienced any fit quibbles with any 32J bras that I own during my weight loss, especially not in the jasmine, due to the fabulous stretch lace. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I love the fabric and the support of this bra. I love the colors. I wish it was the best bra for me, ever, but I can't get it to fit me in any size I've tried. I can't seem to avoid "orange in a glass" with Tangos (even in a 30E!), which is a shame. If you have the breast shape for it, this is probably the best bra you'll ever wear. I can't figure out exacly what's wrong with it...something about the shape cuts into my tissue at the top of the cups, and leaves strange pointy creases at the tips of the cups. I would have thought my marshmallowey boobs could have conformed to the shape, but they just won't do it.
I bought this body only to wear my dress that I designed and customized in my body size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It gave smooth body line as I expected and I don't know why but I feel like I'm a lingerie model in this body X) happy to have this
*I altered my cup and band https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
dbmamaz nope the wire was fine however the top of cup gave excess skin so I had had to alter the cup full cup to half cup now it's perfect :) some says confetti is good for shallow breast well for me is was just round cup like some panache bra
Yes, I forgot, it was the Envy that we thought would be too round
dbmamaz I haven't tried yet for trying I have to buy one. and i think it's 50 : 50 whether work on me or not
I wonder if it would work on me? I can wear my envy bra for about 4 hours before it starts to hurt. I tried on an old body shaper recently, but it smooshes my boobs (I used to be able to wear it over my unstructured bras, but i'm bigger now and it just doesnt work)
dbmamaz oh I see that's so sad but if the bra doesn't work on you than it's probably hard to wear it for long time
Its frustrating - it fits well and feels good for the first 2 hours. I think its because its too shallow and it rides down, but it is the most painful bra I have - after 4 hours. I wish it wasnt so, its so nice and stretchy and comes in colors i like. and hubby likes it!
dbmamaz oh.. that just could have been your absolute favorite
This color is very pretty on you. I think your assessment of your shape is correct and this bra is a little too closed at the top and a little to projected in the upper half of the cup, hence the slight wrinkling and cutting in.
