This bra is really comfortable. I can wear it all day without having to adjust it, and it looks lovely on my skin tone and shape.

The straps on this bra are so thin that they twist and leave red marks, no matter how many times I straighten them out. It has also stretched a little more than I expected, but I am borderline 28G/30FF, so it is more noticeable for me.

Me:FoT, narrow and tall root, average projection, splayed.

This is a beautiful soft mint color with lovely lace detailing. The band is somewhat tight for a 30 and I had to use an extender to try it on. The lace on top only presses in slightly. It fits but I don't particularly like the shape it gives me, too natural while I prefer rounded like the Cleo Marcie.

This bra is rather comfortable and I love the detailing but unfortunately it is too full on bottom for me.

I think this is going to work as an okay everyday bra - the low gore height is comfy for my close-set breasts and the stretch lace is very accommodating on asymmetry. Gives a pretty good lift for a plunge, without my spilling into the centre, and gives a nice rounded, forward shape on me. The band is a bit too tight for me -- I find the underwires sit much better and the cup is a better shape if I add one row of an extender (but a full three rows is far too loose in the band, so I think the snugness is just a breaking-in ... issue because I'm in between sizes). The wires can get a little uncomfortable towards the end of the day, I think because they're far too wide for me.

Edited to add:
Having now figured out a lot more about my shape, I'm now more confident about assessing fit issues of a bra.

This bra has wide wires and the base of the cup in particular is quite shallow. Those needing immediate projection (eg FOB) may wish to look elsewhere. My breasts push the cup downwards, and I get an empty space at the base of the cups. Thankfully, the cup itself being made of stretch lace means there's never any cutting in at the top, so the bra itself still works admirably well, and is particularly good about coping with asymmetry.

The plunge gore is a godsend for me, as it means my breasts aren't constantly fighting for space with the gore, and oddly the stretch lace cup is cut at just the right angle to hold me in the cups. (Those with very soft tissue or pendulous breasts or loose skin will probably still slide right into the middle, though.)

Altogether, I'm sad the cups are too shallow for me as everything else about the bra works (and Panache do bring it out in such pretty colours...)

This bra fits, but I can't quite figure out what is wrong with it. I think it is too wide and shallow for my shape. It doesn't give me the shape I prefer. It is unfortunate because I love how simple it is and how likely it would be to disappear under a t-shirt. It does have a little bit of a gap at the top of one of the cups that could easily be fixed with a tiny tuck, however, I just recently acquired a Cleo Marcie 30FF that fits SO MUCH better! It too required a tiny (¼") tuck at the apex (at least for my preference), but it is narrower and projects more (like my breasts). I think I am finally figuring out what I need!

I am a fairly even and projected breast shape. I have average-to-narrow roots with a slight omega shape. My best fitting bra is a Cleo Lily in 28GG, though I think a 30G would be more comfortable in terms of band length.

A very comfortable lazy-day sort of bra. The lace cups are very forgiving if you're in between cup sizes or expect to be changing sizes soon. However, due to the cups' forgiving nature, I also tend to feel a bit less supported in them - I'm not totally happy with the shape it gives me. I just don't feel uplifted and projected enough.

I usually wear a 32F but found this for $15 so I snagged it. The band is too small, obviously, but when paired with an extender it fits well. The straps are a hair too wide, but so far they aren't bothersome. Both my larger and smaller breasts appear to be filling out the cups well, if they were just a tiny bit smaller I'd be quadding with my larger boob. I could do with the wires being a bit narrower, but they're not wide enough to cause discomfort. It's not super uplifting, I'd say it provides a Beth natural shape. Without clothes, it looks a bit pointy, but underneath clothes it's a lot rounder. Since the whole cup is lace, it feels very thin and fragile. Not a problem when wearing it, but I do feel like I need to handle it carefully. All in all, it's beautiful and comfy (so far).

The gore on this bra is blessedly low/non-existent. I love how I don't feel anything poking at me. That said, I can't see it keeping up with everyday wear (more like a special occasion or occasional bra). The cups are pretty wide, but the band is true to size. Didn't have as much of a narrow shoulder problem as normal. Not a good fit for me in this size, but I might try it in a 30F or E.

This bra was too small and created quadboob and held my boobs way too low. I don't like the discontinuous band either.

The bra looks like it fit but it gave me a come sort of shape. I think it's too big in the cup and the stretchy lace just hides it somewhat. If I ever decide to try this again it will have to be a 28FF. It was very soft and comfortable though.

Vertical side panel is too tight, so creates vertical indent half way between arm and apex. Top lace is very stretchy & comfortable. would be good choice for full on top shape. Center gore is quite high, if you don't like that, you won't like this!

Comfortable enough. The lace is pretty, and I especially like the houndstooth pattern of the bottom part of the cups. Gives more of a natural shape than I like, but is still supportive enough. Seems a little too stretchy.

Fantastically plunge-y. This bra goes as low as you could desire. The downside: there's really just about zero support in the center. I tend to quad a little bit there not because there's not enough volume, but because there's nothing there and my breasts just want to spill out into that empty space. On the bright side, it creates a nice level of cleavage with that. It's a very comfortable bra with a neat design, too.

It's perfect if you've been looking for the plunge-iest of plunge bras and haven't been able to find one.

I LOVE the purple color of this 30FF Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675). The fit is excellent, after I sized up in the cup to 30FF to contain my side tissue. The whole bra is lace. Deep, rich purple lace!

So why am I selling it? I can't handle center gores higher than 1.5" for very long. Even most plunge bras don't have center gores that low. The Panache Andorra Full Cup, on me, is just too high in the gore. I've held onto this bra for months, hoping my sensitivity would diminish so I could wear all my gorgeous bras that don't have 1.5" center gores. Nope, my ... body is not cooperating. Cotton pads under the gore, soft fabric under the gore. I haven't tried bending the wires of my bras, because that might alter the fit of the cups. I also, you know, don't want to bend anything on my beautiful bras.

This is one of the classic bras, known for accommodating varying amounts of top vs bottom fullness. The side sling pushes side tissue to the front. Oh, I forgot to mention the side sling is a sheer mesh type fabric, not lace. However, the bra looks like it's all lace when it's worn. It's full coverage, but it looks like you're wearing sexy purple lacy boudoir wear, rather than a frumpy full coverage, sensible bra. Yet I've read reviews by women who can wear this all day while they do physically active jobs.

Almost! The cups are a little too wide, and I end up with this weird strain on the fabric. In fact, much of the lace looks strained: even though it fits smoothly over the top of my breasts, the lace looks really stretched at the top of the cup.

For reference, I am even, narrow and projected, although I think the stretchiness of the lace makes this bra likely to work for a range of shapes.

Fits well, but armpit part doesnt go high enough.

I've been wanting to try Jasmine for a long time now, and finally I took the plunge to try it out (in leopard print, no less!).

Band stretches to 30", but it feels snug enough to me (28" underbust) that I can wear it on the loosest hook. Straps are fully adjustable. It is a 4-part cup with stretch lace on top. I find this feature is good to accommodate swelling during your PMS. The shape is pointy-perky, which I like just as much as the round shape Cleo bras give. The cup feels deep at the apex. I feel supported, and it is comfortable to me.

This bra is too big for me, but I think it could work in a smaller size maybe. It doesn't cut into my armpit really. There is too much fabric under the cup. It's a little wide, but pretty much all bras are on me, and I haven't tried polish ones yet. The lace is much softer than the andorra.

The bra is a little less pretty than what I expected, however, I do still like the look of it.

This bra is too big. I have the Andorra, which can cause a tiny quad boob, so I sized up in this one not realizing that I didn't need to do that because this bra has a lot more projection. I don't have the underarm chaffing I do have sometimes in the andorra, but I don't know if that is because there is no lace or what.

The pink color reminds me a little of an 80's bathroom tile, but I do like the pattern on it.
