See my review for the same bra in magenta. I found this in blush on Amazon, but that color seems to no longer be made or sold by other retailers. It's close enough to my skin tone to function as nude, but I'm super pale.
Way too much forward projection, gave me an odd torpedo shape when I looked down. Think it would look odd under clothing. The lace squeezed my upper breast too much - I cannot wear this for more than a few hours until I'm anxious to take it off! Band was snug and felt supportive; I could have probably used a larger cup size and still filled it out. Scratchy. Didn't pass the husband approval. lol.
Get smaller band size since it fits on tightest hook when new; get narrower wire if possible; gives more projected shape than Hepburn full-cup; less support; delicate lace may not withstand multiple washes
The cup separation is too small for me. It doesn't come up as high as I would like on the front of my breasts. I fill it out well, and it would fit great except there is some gapping in front under the straps and on the cups in the place that is lower than the straps, but in about the same place.
This fits perfectly, with support and comfort. There's a tiny bit of creep over the course of a day where my breasts kind of slide back toward my back, but I've found that with all my bras that fit well -- I mean I adjust myself once or twice a day to make sure I'm all "pulled forward."
I don't feel like the lace will tear anytime soon, either.

Actually like this better than Fern, although out of the box they look almost identical. The material is stiff but softer and smoother than Fern. Same issue with wrinkling and gapping but not as obvious as Fern. I don't think going down a cup size would help since I'm filling out the bottom of this. Also, the gore almost doesn't tack. It's hard to get positioned and actually a little too close set int the cups. Never happens with my wide set boobs. How many ways am I going to find for a bra NOT to fit?. And last but not least, I am getting an in-cup quad ding or camel toe that looks horrible under clothes.
I almost didn't try this on. The fabric is a stiff weird mesh with just the slightest give it n the bias, otherwise no stretch at all. The lace trim doesn't stretch either. Even the little bow is this stiff material, and the bow sticks up in an obnoxious way. But hey I ordered the thing so I tried it on. Wish I hadn't. Cups are just one big wrinkle. Lace has huge gaps at gore...well everywhere. I don't even want to find this in the correct size.
This fits better than the 34E. The wrinkling in the bottom of the cup is much less pronounced. Orange in a glass? The lace stretches forgivingly at the top. I seem to notice longer have the shape for a full cup but this bra does not cut. And with straps adjusted pretty tight I can minimize the pointiness. But dang there's just something weird about the shape I am getting in lower half. Is it just that I am not used to this kind of projection, if that's what it is? Will ponder but don't think this one is going to work.
Best bra ever. Full stop. I wear this as an everyday bra under anything that comes up high enough to cover it. The shape is perfection, and the lining keeps nipples contained. I've considered sewing lace onto it so it can work under more necklines. The underwires are padded a little, so it's friendly to my sensitive rib-cage, and the material is soft too. This is the Platonic form of how a bra should FEEL! I only wish it weren't so sporty-looking and that the straps weren't so beefy. If only they just took the basic design, lowered the neck, and slapped some satin on it... get on that, Panache!
I did have to go up a band size to my sister-size 34F. The band is TIGHT and unforgiving. This bra does not quit! I've worn it almost daily for over a year, and it shows no signs of wear beyond a little staining.
Don't hesitate. This sucker is loaded for bear. Worth every penny of the $70 I paid for it.
I bought this bra hoping that maybe something would fit. I've tried many sizes and nothing is right. There are a lot of problems with this bra for me. My right boob is significantly larger than my left so that could just be a problem with me and bras. However, on my larger breast, the top of the cup digs in a lot but the lace is not affected as much. On my smaller side the bra fits just right but with a tiny wrinkle up in the diagonal corner by the strap. The gore of the bra pushes into my chest very firmly and is somewhat uncomfortable. The band was not stretchy at all and was ver stiff as well. Where should I go from here? I don't like the pointy boobs:l
Hi, craftbug!! What you want to do first is size your bra to fit your large breast. Then you can pad/fill the other side to fill in the empty space. Many of us have the same problem. : )
Also, if the band is too firm try an extender. That may help with with gore digging in as well. You'll still need to size up for you larger breast (and pad the smaller) but this will help tell whether the gore is stabby in general or if the band is to blame.
You didnt attach your measurements to this review, which makes it hard for us to help you understand why it doenst fit. but it looks like a serious shape AND size issue - maybe too projected and short, and definitely too small too small
I'm pretty sure measurements are only attracted to fit requests, but that's a good idea too. Add this as a fit request and you may get more insight and helpfulness :)
This is the first time I've ever filled out the top of a cup better than the bottom! Unfortunately, the way the straps are set, they dig into my armpit flesh. In the front-view picture you can see that they actually kind of twist into my body.
I was told this would fit similar to the Panache Jasmine 34F which fits me pretty well, but it just isn't quite there. The cups a smidgen too large for my breasts--usually the top is too large for my breast but the bottom fits. If you look at my pictures you can see wrinkling on the bottom side of the cup as well. The sides where the cup meets strap dig into my armpits a bit, but not as bad as some of the other bras I've tried on lately.
The styling on the bra is very pretty in a grown-up way. Something I imagine Mary Crawley wearing on Downton Abbey. The straps have a basketweave texture and the gore has a triangular rosette in red ribbon. I'm not sold on the lace style though. It can't decide if it's elegant or harlequin--just too much going on.
Interesting, this cup depth is a full inch more than your Nyla.
dbmamaz I think you're comparing my Nyla 34E to my Floris 34F.
The Nyla 34F is 28 cm deep. Nyla 34E is 25 cm deep. The Panache Floris 34F is 27.5 cm deep. (Also, don't take my measurements as the gospel truth, I'm still getting the hang of measuring accurately!) :)
Oh, yeah, you're right I didnt notice the different sizes. Why did you order the Floris in an F? (Its my best fit atm, Floris)
I'm kind of between F and E. The Panache Jasmine 34F seemed to fit me really well, so I expected the Floris to fit similarly! http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dltxf/
Tough to do a full review since I just tried it on a few times. It's the Andorra Plunge and was one of the first ones of that style I tried. I compared the fit between 34F and 32FF and ended up keeping the 32FF, simply because I keep losing weight/girth. The 34F "fit" better in the cup, but the band would have become too loose on me pretty quickly.
WIRES: Sturdy. The 34F seemed slightly wider than the 32FF when on, which seems weird. BAND: Snug for a 34F, but it was NWT and still not stretched. I remeasured after my try-ons and it was ..."longer" than I initially measured, but still snug for a 34. I'm leaning much more toward the 32s now. (My comfy snug is less than 31" now.) CUP: Very stretchy lace. Veeeeery. Comfy, but really did not feel like I was contained even though it was technically containing me. Cups cut up diagonally. It's a true plunge on me. Absolutely no gaping along the top on my short boobs. STRAPS: Hallelujah not too wide set for me. The 32FF was better, though. GORE: Low. Because of sturdy wires and my rounder shape, tilts in at the top more than I liked. If I had worn it a few times, it probably would have adjusted to my shape more. WINGS: Probably lower than I really need, but it's not uncomfortable. AESTHETICS: Meh. Color is odd. Lace is stretch lace. It's Andorra in a plunge cut.
OVERALL: This mostly fit, but would be too big in the band for me soon, so I kept the sister size 32FF instead.
Made me feel like I might fall out the tops, but I'm not used to plunges at all; it will take some getting used to. Read more 191 more words
I have had this bra for about three months now. No major complaints and it is still in my rotation of bras I wear on a regular basis.
I really love the plunge cut. I do normally wear lower cut tops and have had a problem in the past with bras coming over the top of the neckline on my shirt, but not with this. The straps fit great and don't budge or dig. The gore sits nice and flat on my chest. The once concern I have is that it does ride high-up into my underarm and it can be quite bothersome after wearing the bra for 8+ hours. There is also a little bit of fabric on the outside that is empty, I am assuming because the wire is slightly too wide. I also noticed that band does become quite stretchy after 3-4 wears but goes back to normal after a hand washing.
Overall, a pretty decent bra. I give it 3 boobs out of 4 https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
