If you are in the Sculptresse size range (why can't you expand this, Panache?), can tolerate heavy Panache wires, and don't have super close center tissue, YOU NEED THIS BRA!!!

I'm sorry to shout, it's just the softest, most comfortable bra I've ever had the pleasure of putting on.

First of all, very soft fine microfiber double-bagged band and appropriately tensioned, perfect width elastic means band is smoothing and doesn't roll. The band should be more durable as well (I would need to wear it awhile but that's what I've heard for other bras that are built like this, for instance, Sculptresse Chi Chi). It is ... quite firm (tts but not likely to stretch much more than the band number).

The cup fabric is also incredibly soft and silky. The mesh and top stitching and elastic do not itch and are appropriately tensioned so there is no cutting in or in cup quadding.

The cup is a four part cut and sew with center pull straps. The design is basically an Elomi Rita/Caitlyn/Cate (two bottom panels, one long side sling panel, a top mesh piece) but way way better. First, the wires are narrower and won't stretch back like Elomi wires. Second, the bottom panels are narrower, producing a very round vs. pointy profile. Third, the tension on the top elastic and the stretchy mesh ensure room for full on top breasts, while those who are fob will probably have a perfect fit in a size down from their normal Sculptresse size. Fourth, there is more room for center fullness. This size Sculptresse is almost identical in size and dimensions to an Elomi Rita 40H, as an FYI for fit.

The gore, wings, and wires are comparable to some of Panache's narrowest offerings making this excellent for women in this size range on the narrower side of things.

The cup is tts, comparable with other Sculptresse and Panache bras in the same size or sister sizes. There is less apex projection than some styles like Jasmine, and less than Curvy Kate in sister sizes. However there is plenty of projection at the wire.

The color is a glorious rich red, a little bluer than most reds I've been seeing lately. It's really lovely. The shape is round and natural. It's pretty luscious all around.

I tried this 2020 in a 34H but it was way too small for me. In the mean time I gained another cup size, so this 34HH bra is also too small for me.
The bra is made out of a super soft silky feeling fabric, which is sturdy and seems to be of high quality. There is no stretch in the upper cup. The band is made ouf of thicker mesh and less stretchy than you expect. I am just fine with it and I usually wear a 32 band. So keep this in mind and maybe size up 1 band size.
The wire width and the height on ... the side is good for me, maybe even a bit small. The strap position is also in the right place. with other bras I often have the issue that the straps are too seperated, wires too tall and wide on the sides. With this it doesn't happen but it's also just NOT my size. The cup depth is not enough. I need maybe a HH-wire construction but with a cup depth of a JJ cup in this bra.
Too bad this is not available. If I ever come accross an afforable 34J or 34JJ from Sculptresse I like to give it a try because I really love their quality and the support.

See my review about size 42H - Sculptresse » Candi Full Cup Bra (9375)

I'm solidly in between a 38 and a 40 now and this band size is perfect for me. It is firm on the first hooks because the band fabric is so firm. The band tension is right for someone of my size and shape (H or A shaped back). While I liked the extra cup room/apex projection of the 42H, there is still plenty of room in this bra and the scaling of the gore and wings is better for me. It's nearly a perfect fit. In this size ... I can see the room for my center fullness being used. No flat center with my breast tissue pushed under my armpits like the Elomi bras. It's really an elegant, perfect bra. I hope they keep using this kind of scaling and band materials and make the bra in a range of nudes. A++ bra, the best plus sized bra I have ever bought.

I usually fit a Panache 38J or JJ, so plan your size accordingly. FOB can certainly size at least one cup down from their usual Panache size I bet.

My breasts are center-full, pendulous, FOB, and I have a lot of squish in my band measurement. My center-fullness is usually my dominant fit requirement. I suspect I have somewhat short roots, and narrow-to-average roots for my size. I also have narrow, somewhat sloped shoulders.

So, this bra was probably never going to fit me but I'm so excited about Sculptresse expanding their size range, I wanted to try it anyway. It has plenty of projection and could work for both FOB and FOT types, and those in between. The main reason it didn't work for me is my center-fullness.

I'd recommend this bra to someone who wanted a ... Panache version of Elomi Cate/Caitlyn or Goddess Keira/Kayla. It's a very similar bra with narrower (but not crazy narrow, Elomi just tends to run wide) harder wires and firmer band. I suspect the mesh upper part of the cup will work better for some folks with softer tissue as well.

One thing about the band - yes, this is a Panache subbrand and yes, it's a black bra but this band was *crazy* tight. I usually go for 36 in Panache, and 34 in some Curvy Kates (36 in the rest), Freya, Fantasie, etc. I'm usually able to hook a brand new Panache bra on the first row of hooks with just a little effort - again, I have a lot of squish in that area. I am not sure how quickly this would stretch out, so consider sizing up or committing to user and extender for awhile.

The bra is really well made. The fabric is one of the softest I ever felt. It feels and looks very high quality. The band is thick double mesh and very firm. I would say it even runs quite small. This 34 band measures more like a larger 32 band.

My shape: full on top, tall narrow roots, center full.
This bra is more suitable to a full on bottom shape. There is a lot of room in the cups, but the top edge is cutting in so slightly on me. I really need most room on top and towards the center. I still think the bra is true to ... size even running a bit large in cups.

The band only feels slightly big on me, it fits me best at second or tightest hook. It is a very firm supportive band. The bra over all felt very comfortable. I even would wear this as a lounge bra. The wires were firm but not as hard as the usual Panache wire. They did not hurt my on my trial. Ideally I would wear a size 32J but since the bra starts at a 34 band, I had to sister up in band. If I get the chance I will try the 34HH to compare.

This is a very well-made and comfortable feeling bra, but it doesn't fit my shape. The cups are too separate for my close-set centre-full boobs. The wires are too wide and go under my armpits.

The quality is excellent when it comes to Sculptress bras, the reason I returned was solely because mine aren't full enough on top and had some wrinkling in the cups. Otherwise very comfortable, gave me a round shape and would have kept it.
