I accidentally ordered this thinking it was the wired version. The band is pretty firm for a wireless bra, so it feels a little tight but I think it needs to. The bra overall is pretty comfortable. It comes up a bit too high under my arms - it cuts into the tail of spence where the cup meets the straps.
It feels surprisingly supportive for a wireless bra. It does give a uniboob appearance because there really isn't separation between the cups. The cups do fit me pretty well.
I won't be keeping this because it isn't what I was looking for, but it's not a bad choice if I was wanting a wireless.
When I first tried the envy in 34GG I loved the shape that it gave me so much I desperately ordered it in a size down to hope for one that was comfortable. Alas, no such luck, because even with the smaller size the underwire is too wide for me. The rest of the bra fits well, I think I'm probably between G and GG so the stretch of the lace was more than enough to fit it, especially since most of my boob is on the bottom anyway. I also love this color, but I just am going to have to admit the envy is not for me.
I really enjoy the shape the side panels the jasmine gives me. However, even going down a size the underwire on this bra is very uncomfortable. It's poking my underarm and my sternum. I want to like this bra so much, it's just not quite right for me.
Fit on the actual breast tissue/sternum was GREAT, straps were too far apart and felt like they were about to slide/snap off my shoulders at any second.
The gore is a bit wide at the bottom for my close set boobs but not too uncomfortable. Bra straps feel a little wide set but that could be my shoulders. Overall nice bra though good cup shape For people who are sensitive to it there are some parts where the strap meets the cup that have stitching that is rough. It feels uncomfortable and pokes a little
This bra while well-made and beautiful was a very poor fit for me. Very tight to the point that I couldn't breathe deeply and the clasp was giving me back pain within a few moments.
This bra doesn't really work for me which is a shame because the pattern is stunning and it's not that far from working, it's just.. not quite there.
It doesn't have enough immediate projection for me so my breasts push the wires down and out of place and I get a lot of wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. Also it's overall too large on my smaller breast.
As a result of the fit issues I suppose I get a somewhat pointy shape I don't love.
I would prefer if the materials were softer, they are kind of rough, but not a dealbreaker.
Overall until I get some better bras I might wear this sometimes but unfortunately for me it's not great.
Pretty caramel colored bra with a 4 section cup (3 fabric sections and 1 lace section). Rough and scratchy fabric - I didn't find the fabric comfortable at all. Very short band compared to other 34G bras from other brands purchased at the same time. Straps very far apart and underwire poking me under the arms. I am returning this bra.
My measurements: snug underbust 35", larger boob perimeter 14.5". I think the cup is simply too small. Cuts into breast tissue under the arm, overflows a little at the top edge. Otherwise, it seems to fit, and is comfortable everywhere except the outer end of the wire, so I'll try the same style & band in a larger cup. Okay-looking for an everyday bra, lightweight. Wish the larger sizes came in all the colors (or if they do, I can't find them).
My shape: narrow, short roots, FOT/even, lots of inner fullness and all over projection.
The takeaway: This bra is a very good fit and a beautiful color, but it gives a slight torpedo shape.
Details: This color is awesome! It's a really deep bright teal. It was tough to capture accurately and photographs. I still feel that the combination of the houndstooth fabric and the lease is not very attractive. I find it a bit dowdy and busy, although it's better in teal than it is in beige. (See my other Envy review 34GG - Panache ยป Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) ).
I ...thought I had my fit in Panache bras figured out, but a few small niggling issues led me to try on a 34G just to see how it fits, and of course it's the best one yet. Unfortunately, going down from a GG to a G cup in this particular bra is the cut off where they change the construction. That means this bra is a better fit, but it has thinner straps and only two hooks.
I bought this full price on Amazon (almost $70!) just to see how it fits, and even though it fits really well I will be sending it back. I just can't justify paying full price for something that is less comfortable than my Ewa bras. The wires swing a bit wide under my arms and the overall shape is a bit pointy.

The band is comfortable and it is supportive. The band fits one size looser than the @Cleo by Panache Neve model, which I found to run tight in the band. There is some extra room in the cup on this bra, as it has a deeper cup than the other bra's I own which are mostly Panache plunge bras. My nipples are rather high up and this bra covers them completely which I really appreciate. The Neve and Koko and Aria plunge bras allow the very edge of my areola to be visible sometimes.
This bra is very lightweight but has some serious architecture inside. The outer cup fabric is soft stretch lace. The bottom and outer top part of the cups are lined with a translucent non-stretch tricot fabric that provides excellent structure and support. The band has a side seam but no boning. From the cup to the side seam it is the same tricot inner/lace outer fabric. The back is firm stretch mesh covered with the same stretch lace. The straps sit wide in front but it's a leotard back so no problems with falling straps even on my narrow shoulders. The sides and gore are quite tall but ...are still comfortable for me. The wires seem thinner than the ones on some of the other Panache bras I've tried.
The Latte colorway is a light buff nude that is flattering to me. I like that there are no extra decorations. The lace, rose gold toned hardware, and shape of the bra stand on their own. The only thing I can knock this for is the horizontal cup seam is thick and shows under thinner knits. Still, it's a very nice bra and definitely will find a place in my wardrobe.

I'm a bit on the fence with this bra. It is sturdy, has a nice, snug band, and the stretch lace on top seems to accommodate varying fullness. It seems to have adequate immediate depth to accommodate my projected breasts. Because I'm high-set, the wires come up high underneath my armpit, and I haven't quite decided if that bothers me enough to be a problem. I also feel this bra gives me a little more "east-west" shape than I would like. From the side, this bra gives me a natural shape.
Band was fairly comfortable but a little loose on me. My shallow boobs were not enough to fill the top of this cup. Got a very pointy shape as a result.
