Another one that never fit and should have been returned. Life got in the way however. No review as it's never been worn.

Tis is a gorgeous bra, easily the prettiest nude colored bra I've ever seen.

The embroidery is gorgeous, and the fabric is firm and stretchy but very supportive.

This is the first bra I've ever owned that sits flat on my sternum...who knew they should actually DO that?! Downside is that I am fairly short waisted, And the center gore rubs, sometimes painfully on my chest. And it's TALL...5 inches. Half that would be sufficient. My fiancé refers to this as the bulletproof bra. The armholes are too small, so it rubs on my underarm, and I can't lengthen the straps enough to ease the fit there. I find ... myself reswooping multiple times over the course of a day, otherwise the wires pull rather painfully. (What causes that? The band is quite snug, too snug apparently, as I've actually pulled out the eyes on one of the rows. Too big cup?)

The wires are quite wide, which was great at first as I have a substantial amount of migrated breast tissue I'm trying to convince to move home, but as it does migrate, they get simultaneously more and less comfortable. They rub less, but poke more.

Keep in mind that this is my first attempt at a well fitting bra, so my assessment of why something is happening is definitely suspect. I think I'll try something other than a panache next, as the wires are notorious for being quite wide.

Tight 34band (but not too tight, so it's all good!)
I feel like it could give a really great shape on me, if it was just a cup size larger! And I really like the style, simple lace, not completely sheer, but not quite opaque - and not just on the cups, band too https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I really like this bra. It's quite supportive, except it seems like the straps have stretched out (may just be overuse, it's the only one I have right now) and the wires get a bit pinchy near my pits.

Ariza 34J (Mulberry Bravissimo Exclusive at least I guess it's that one, it looks different than in the pictures. It did also look different on Ebay and judging from the picture I though I'd get the pink / ivory one)

This bra fits differently compared to newer styles of Ariza (Violet Mix).
The wires are higher on older styles, I knew about this. But there are other differences.

I just had a weird feeling when putting the bra on. It definately fits better than the 32J (size-wise) but I have to close it already on second hooks and something about the fit is off.

Gore measurement comparison:
Violet Mix 32J: 1.7cm
Mulberry 34J : 2.3cm

Straps width:
Violet Mix 32J: 1.7cm
Mulberry 34J: 2.0 cm

The straps of the Mulberry are wider and lightly padded, which is a plus.

Now I try to make it work by taking in the gore.

I love this bra! Cups are a teensy bit too big (that never happens btw) but it's so nice not to have a quad boob. Band is not as stretchy as my Curvy Kate and Freya bras.

Band rides up and feels loose. A few cups sizes too small, I think, but sizing up (if it were possible) would likely mean wires that are too wide. Can't seem to fill the bottom, but quadboobing massively.

Ew ew ew. This bra technically fit okay, but my boobs were sooooo east west in it, wide and a terrible shape - sort of upside-down sevenish, only the top of that wasn't a smooth line up my chest, either. It felt pretty supportive, but I couldn't stand the look enough to keep it on.

Labeled by Panache as a balconette, but it seems pretty full coverage on everyone but me. On me, the tight upper section causes massive quadboob. Sizing up to fix this would likely mean too wide wires. Wire width is good in this size (I need narrow wires).

I'm a 32 or a 34 depending on the fit of the band. I found this 34 firm, but not too tight.

I give up with this one! This is the 3rd size I've tried it in, and nothing works - we are just not meant to be

Quite snug band, with nice, wide seams so it the snug-ness is supportive, without cutting in. The wires are a good stable wires, and they are just the right width for me, I think. All in all, it gave a very firm support. But, it did cut in on my bigger boob, and on closer assesment it was too small all over - slight tendency to orange-in-a-glass, and the lightly smothered look made my boobs pointy.
But, it hits the marks on other fit-issues, so I think I'll order it in 34JJ to check!
(I am not a fan of the blue/floral though, but I don't generally choose bras based on their appearance -beggars can't be choosers!)

This bra is similar to the Tango Classic, but with a few changes that make it somewhat more comfortable. It has the same shape cups, but the material is a bit softer. The straps are a bit more padded so they don't dig in as much.

This is an ok, very basic bra. The cup material is smooth, but the seams can still show under shirts. As with all Panache bras in my size, it has a very stiff, thick underwire.
It gives me a rounded, somewhat low shape.

This bra has stretched out some.
