Oh dear - this bra was a walking disaster for me.

I'll start with the good. The bra itself is fairly physically attractive, the outer cup has a nice satin layer and the flower print is reasonably crisp (the tiniest bit fuzzy if you're REALLY inspecting it close). The straps also have a nice ruching on them while still being fully adjustable, a big bonus for a lot of people. The bow details are tasteful as is the tiny centre jewel on the gore.

Now for the rest: first, this band is FIRM. 32G is my usual unlined size in Panache, and I had to use an extender just ... to get this guy on. The inside of the cups are regular mesh which doesn't feel so great. This bra squeaks like crazy! I'm not entirely sure why but it's annoying enough that if the fit was great I'd still be hesitant.

As for the actual fit on me, it ended up being quite a bit too wide, a little bit too shallow, and not even remotely enough centre fullness for me. It's somewhat closed on top, I have even fullness + height and it quadded - I'm undecided as to whether this was also a cup size too small, but I think the wires were so wide on me that this wouldn't have helped. The end result of all of this made me look like I was wearing a binder rather than a bra, with my tissue squashed upwards and outwards. Yet, it somehow still managed to look pointy while quadding. My boobs were pretty confused, I have to say.

This would be a great bra for someone, probably someone who is a lot shallower than I am.
