hard to clasp, good except for gore

don't like the material

I don't think I can do moulded bras and I should stop trying. Being bottom heavy I just have way too much extra room up top. Also, wires too wide for me as most bras are. I do like the gore height, and the bra seems like fine quality, with a nice mid amount of padding to cover nipple dimensions. Just not for me!

This bra fit me very differently from other Panaches. In almost all the bras (Envy, Andorra, Clara, Imogen, Jasmine) I started with a 34GG and had to size down. This bra, I start with a 34GG and it is very slightly too small. I have very minor quad boob at the lower part of the cup, not unusual due to my short roots, and the underwire doesn't quite sit flush on my chest, I assume because the small cup size is pulling it away. The good news is this is one of the only panache bras that has narrow enough cups for me, I don't have side stabbing ... in the armpit. The other panache that has similar width, the Chi Chi, had a gore that was much too high, so this is the best of both worlds. I'm gonna order up to a 34H, but if that's too big I may keep this despite it being slightly too small, because I still feel comfortable and supported.

In terms of the look, the white lace is quite shear, which makes the side support visible through. I don't mind but it did seem like an interesting design choice.

This bra fit me very similarly to the other panache bras. Center gore too high, underwire too wide and too high on the side causing armpit uncomfort. It feels like even more underwire than the Andorra I also noticed more room on the side on this one, which makes me think I may just need to go for a smaller cup size in Panache bras. I did feel very supported, I especially liked the support from the panel on the side. In that aspect it's my favorite of the Panache's I've tried. I'll likely try this in one cup size down next.
Beautiful color, some snags on the lace.

I brought this bra because it was so regularly recommended and I wanted something that there was a lot of info on for one of my first try ons in my new size. The cups and band fit well, so that's good because I feel confident about my measurements, but it wasn't a great fit for my shape. There was too much underwire for my short torso, and it poked me under the armpit and at my sternum. As for the color, it was VERY sheer which I was not expecting. If you're nipples are very low on your breast it may not be a problem, but not something I liked for myself. I'm glad I tried this because it gave me a better sense of my shape and what I need to pay attention to going forward when ordering bras

This bra fit fairly well, but the fabric on the side felt very high to me and made it feel tight to me. The center gore also came up too high for my liking, and there was slight gaping right at the top of the cup where the strap connects. The print is very pretty though and the stretch lace is very forgiving for a variety of breast sizes.

I've had trouble with other panache bras, but this was the worst of them so far for me. The center gore felt extremely high, the fabric at the top of the cup was also very loose for me. Not a good bra for those of us with short roots.

I was not a fan of the fit on this, the underwire was much too long and poked at both my armpit and sternum. It also make me look a bit too wide. However, the cup volume was good,

A lovely, high quality bra with nice designs and details. It has tall wings and a tall, narrow gore with a small decorative bow. The cup is 4 parts with stretch lace across the top. The straps are padded, partially adjustable, and fairly wide. This size didn’t tack and the band was too loose, but I have high hopes that a sister size down will fit well.

Straps are a bit further out then is comfortable, could make it work with a strap hook on the back.

I really love how this Panache Envy fits at the top of cup, no quadding, no gaping. However it's a bit pointy for me. I also need a lot more projection at the wire. The gore tacks great. It does come too high up my sides but I do have a short torso.

This is not the right bra for me. On the plus side, it has pretty leaf embroidery all over. However, the fabric is fairly sheer and quite scratchy. The band is tight enough to be uncomfortable even though I can fasten it. The 3 part cups seem too shallow on me: they give my breasts a strange, almost square shape. The gore doesn't tack but rather lies on my left (bigger) breast while the top of the cups gape. All around not the right shape bra for me.

This bra is made up for the most beautiful fabric! I wish I liked the fit more... the band is a bit loose on me and the cups are too shallow (especially in the bottom.) But my biggest issue is that the shape it gives me is not to my liking. It gives a very pointy finish to your breasts, where I prefer a rounded look. It is also full coverage on me, no chance for cleavage whatsoever. It is well made, however and the fabric is amazing looking.

This bra is so pretty! I love the look of lace on the front with light fabric underneath. The fit on me is ok... the band is a bit loose (can easily get it on tightest hook straight away) and the cups are a tad shallow. But it works well enough to feel pretty for a few hours. For all day wear I notice that my breasts push the wires down into my ribs and it can get uncomfortable (especially with the lace on the bottom.) Overall though I'll wear it becasue the beauty out weighs the minor fit issues.

I have this same bra in black and love it, it fits perfect! Unfortunately, the nude colorway fits a little smaller in the cups. I tried the nude in 34H and it was too big in the cups, so I'll just have to live with this I guess. The gore does not quite sit on my sternum and the bottom of the cups are a tad bit too shallow for me. I can wear it for a while but after many hours the wires start to dig into my chest becasue my breasts are pushing them down. It's a nice bra, one of my favorites, if only it fit the same in all colors... sigh...

After some changes in my body and a period of time when bras weren't a priority, I've gone to get fitted at a store and this is the result. I was thrilled at first as it was significantly more comfortable than the bras I've been wearing before, but after wearing it for several full days, I've noticed some things that weren't as great.

First, the good. It's a nice nude bra with a touch of femininity with the lace. It provides good support and I love the J-hook option. The extra mesh side support is really nice. It's practically invisible under clothes. I am not a big fan of ... plain T-shirt bras, but this one works for me. It's also the first seamless cup that works for me. I like the soft material, it feels like the boobs are resting on a pillow.

I have to say I am not a fan of the full coverage style and minimized shape this bra provides. While it is subtle, I prefer my boobs up, front and center (so they make my stomach look smaller in comparison https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />). For some people this might be a selling point, though.

The big problem for me is somewhere along the lines of underwire or band shape. I'm not quite sure what's going on, but if I put the band in it's rightful place, the lower outer part of the underwire is not quite where it needs to be, sitting a little away from my IM fold. This allows the cups to travel down my body over the course of the day and when they are forced back, say, by sitting down, it pinches the bit of skin below my boobs. In order to prevent this, I need to wear the band higher up in the back than I am used to, where instead of smoothing things over it creates a bulge. This is mitigated somewhat if I switch to the tightest hook, but that is not entirely comfortable and hey! I don't want to wear a new bra on the tightest hook. There's just something that doesn't entirely click with my shape, I think. Still, it's a good wearable bra for me, it's just that it's not perfect - and what is?

This is my best fitting bra.

This bra gives a great shape and feels supportive. I am very short waisted with narrow, sloping shoulders, which means the sides of the bra dig in by my armpits and the straps are always on the cusp of falling down. The cups are quite wide for me (digging in if I lean over to pick something up). So close.........

This bra is great for me although a tiny bit too tight in the band. I am using an extender for now. I've also just ordered the 36g to try a bigger band with the same volume.
