    Hasn't set fit

    Will update after wearing for a bit. My first impressions:

    First of all, I got this with the intention of wearing it as a sleeping bra/around the house. It was on super sale and after shipping was under $25, and at this price point, I'm really impressed by the quality of this bra. The fit is not *perfect*; the gore doesn't fully tack on me and I get some very soft lapping at the top on my slightly full on top bust, but it's comfortable and I don't feel the need for an extender. The band seems quite curved, being tapered a fair bit more toward the bottom than ... my usual Panache bras. On the website, I noticed this band seemed to dig into the models less than other examples, and this is also true for me.

    The flex wire is sturdier than I expected, but still more flexible than my usual bras. I used their size recommendation from their quiz while also cross referencing the US to UK size chart (I wear a 32GG in most Panache) . I put in that my bust is full in the middle, which recommends a cup size up, which was a good idea. Probably one size up from this would be even better, but I would buy this again even at this size. The straps are nice and firm. Though there are no strap stays, it's not incredibly bouncy. I find the lace soft and comfortable, and the elastic at the top of the lace helps keep in it place (the lace has no stretch, but a bit of ease is worked into the elastic).

    Fits

    Here is an example of a bra that fits (*technically), but is not wearable. I am measuring fit by my larger breast (left breast), but you'll notice that the other side has some wrinkles in the cup.

    The reason why I marked this bra down in "comfort" is because the shape is just not correct for my breast shape. This is especially noticeable on my larger breast. The cup shape unfortunately just fights against my natural breast shape. That feeling is annoying.

    I tried this bra for about 30 mins, and that was all I could wear it for. Which is, I admit, better than a Freya bra (I can only stand to wear Freya for about 10 mins, lol), but if you can only stand to wear a bra for 30 mins, it defeats the purpose. It's not wearable all day.

    I'll leave you with this imgur pic to explain what I think is going on with this bra, https://imgur.com/wuKovXy Not enough immediate depth at the bottom of the cup which is pushing the underwire down.

    • Would you say this bra is not projected enough for you?

    • Yes, the cup shape is too shallow for me.

    Didn't fit

    This bra was on final sale with no returns, so I took a chance and purchased it. Overall, its a little big on me especially on the cups. I tried tightening the straps, which did help, but made the bra sit too close to my underarms. I have a hard time finding bras that sit flat on my sternum, and this bra does that perfectly. Because I did get the flat fit in this style and the price was so reasonable, I will buy again in a different size.
