Because the cups on this bra run so shallow and I need wide wires anyway, I ordered up several cup sizes from my normal 36GG in Panache and Cleo bras (such as the 36GG - Cleo ยป Juna (6461) ). The cup volume worked very well for me and the underwires were very wide, but they also were quite tall. The outer edge of the underwire stabs into the back of my armpit/shoulder if I put my arms down, and if it slips under my arm pit then it will push the whole underwire down so that it no longer rests in my inframammary fold.
I like this bra a lot otherwise, so I've purchased different underwires from a sewing supply shop that are similar shape and width, but much shorter. Hopefully the alteration will go smoothly and I will be able to wear this bra without pain https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This is a gorgeous bra. I love the bright, contrasting multi-color stitching. However, I nearly dislocated a finger trying to hook the band. That thing is TIGHT! The cups are a pretty good fit, maybe a tiny bit big on my smaller side. But it's not noticeable, except the lace curved away from my body at the top of the cup. The shape and lift are great. This is definitely a bra engineered to support and flatter a full bust.
This is my go to bra. I have almost zero bounce and am comfortably secure most of the day. the outer part of the underwire pokes a bit toward the end of the day but this bra is perfect otherwise, and I consider it worth it. I just try to be able to take it off before it starts to poke Ive had it for almost 2 years now and it has hardly stretched at all. I love this bra. Its not cute but its great for under t-shirts and for daily wear
