I have 32H bra in Blue, Tangerine and Pearl colours. The bras in fashion colours are tighter in the band and bigger in the cup. The band of the pearl bra is made of stretcher material, the vertical seam on the front of the cup half inch shorter then on the 32H Blue/Tangerine bras. I compered it to the 32GG Spice and it measured identical to it in the cup.
This fits fine. It's supportive, smooth, and rounded. The gore comes up just about as high as I'm willing to tolerate, but it's fine. The only hangup I have is that all of the Panaches that I've tried in the past have been kind of stiff and hard to break in, so I haven't yet decided to keep it. But the colors are gorgeous, the lace is awesome, and it's a solid bra that fits me well.
This bra felt exceptionally deep to me, for a 32H. I had trouble filling it out and the tops wrinkled for me. I am fairly even in shape, but this is *very* open on top and probably best for someone with a lot of volume there.
This bra fit pretty true to size. I personally didn't like the shape it gave my breasts but I think that the cup may give a better shape with wear. I would be keeping this one but I could only keep so many of the bras that I bought and so unfortunately this one has to go ;-( It's too bad because I really loved the dark blue color and the print.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this bra would be okay for me. It's nowhere near great, but it's fine for a strapless where my expectations are lower. The band is a little generous considering it's a strapless; they're usually tight as hell. There's a lot of orange in a glass because the cups don't have immediate projection and I do, the wires are way too wide, and it could be prettier - but it is perfectly useful. The support is decent and it's not uncomfortable.
I love this bra! It is really comfy and great for everyday! The band does stretch out a bit, which was good for me because it was a tad small when I first got it, but just something to keep in mind! I have also found the gore to really dig into my sternum, but I may just be sensitive to that stuff. Also, the fabric around the wire channel doesn't like to sit flat, it kind of flips up? If that makes sense. It isn't a huge problem, it just kind of annoys me. Overall, though, really one of my favorites, especially just with a T-shirt or something!
I have this bra in 32 GG and 32 H. My breast soft, mobile, empty on top. After two pregnancies and two breast feedings, 35Lb weight lost i call them "second hand". The difference b/w GG and H is coverage on top of the breast. I have a tendency to spill out of the cups in plunge or most of Freya styles. now i go on size higher to achieve more coverage. i don't have a problem with poking wires even though my breasts set very high.
This is a good bra and definitely will be worn regularly, but it's not as great as I had hoped it would be.
Pros: -Awesome fabric -Looks gorgeous, under clothes and by itself. Great shape, right amount of lace-fabric ratio, holds me in well. -Right band size. I LOVE the feeling of a well-tacked gore. -Pretty comfortable.
Cons: -Center gore is too wide and isn't comfortable because of it. I will definitely eventually take it in, because as a result of the wide center gore, the fullest part of the cup sits in the wrong place. Once I've done that I think the rest of the bra will work much better for me. -It doesn't have ...a full band around the bottom, which means that the cups sit a little too low on my and I have to reposition my breasts throughout the day to keep the bra from slipping down. I am very short-waisted in general, and I lose my waist entirely if my bra slips down. -Cups are too full on top, maybe slightly not full enough on the bottom. There's TONS of extra wrinkling lace. Though admittedly, it fills up when I bend over because my breasts are soft and mobile.
EDIT: 8 months later: with more experience, I think I can say that this bra is too shallow and too tall for me. It may also be slightly big in the cups, but it's very difficult to tell because the shape is so wrong for me.
Thanks, this was helpful, almost for an unintended reason. I think I might need to look into a higher, wider center gore and found this post and the picture really helped me see how the gore sits. I appreciate all the detail in the post.
I am quite full on top with pendulous and projected breasts, and if it weren't for the wire width (I have a narrow root), this would be a great bra. It gives me a nice rounded shape and the back is firm, and the straps have a lot of adjustment in them. It is quite full coverage and doesn't give a lot of cleavage. I did have a problem at first with the gore poking me in the sternum but this resolved after wearing a few times. It is only the poking under my arms that makes this unwearable for long periods.
I bought the Full Cup Andorra in black. I feel like this bra would have a fuzzy range of projection as the lace is very stretchy. It hugs comfortably and there is no gaping or wrinkling even when slouching. It does require some additional adjusting to fill the bottom of the cups completely.
The lace trim on the bottom does want to curl under, and while it's not a problem it is a tad annoying.
Lovely pattern, old style Panache bra, similar to Tango or Fern, it's not so closed in as Tango.Bra had the band shortened to max stretch of 70cm. It is too tight for me, it works with the extender but I can still feel the wires being stretched too much. Wires are very long and poking me into sternum, I'm sure that if I would keep the bra, the problem would go away after few washes.
This bra fit better when I bought it. It was too tight in the band, but the cups were nice, if a touch tight on top. But I've lost 30lbs and this bra doesn't work anymore. But it still looks good.
Weirdest thing . . . I owned this in a 32GG, and I LOVED IT. The shape was fantastic, the fit was so secure, and it looked surprisingly sexy on; it gave just the slightest touch of the quadboob, and I noticed reviews mentioned the cups running consistently small, so I ordered a 32H when I lost my old bra traveling.
Alas, I've gone up a cup size, so the wires can't encompass my breasts, the band and straps are trying to work overtime, and this miracle of bra construction is wildly uncomfortable on me (wires stabbing armpits because they can't get all the breast tissue, band squirming, underwire sliding a full inch beneath the underside of my breast since there's not enough fabric to fit it, QUADBOOB).
If you, like me, have full-on-top breasts and are looking for something to keep you high, tight, and beautifully shaped for everyday, this is a great bra; size up in the cup and order the CORRECT size! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
This band runs tight as my 32 stretches to about 31". Like most Panache bras, the wires are pretty wide. They are a bit wider than I need but it doesn't cause a problem. The wire also goes up pretty tall which doesn't seem to be a problem for me but I know it's a problem for others. I'm not sure if the cup runs small or if I wear an H in Panache as it's currently the only one I own.
Originally bra wasn't very comfortable, centre gote was too wide and wire was too high and straight under the armpit. After making a small stitch in the bottom of the gore, the wires changed the direction so it's comfortable now. Bra is very pretty, straps are soft and lined with felt (love Panache for this). It's quite small 32h - in the cups and it the wire. I'm 73cm (29 inches) under the bust and I would choose 34 next time.
