I'm not sure I have the correct model number for this bra, but it was the only one I could find on the tag that made any sense.) but I do know it's the newest version of the Dream Angels Demi, which has some improvements from the previous model.
First off, the band has tall wings and a scoop back and is a very pretty, open lace that has a mesh lining to help with support. I don't get the 'back bulge' on this one like I did with the previous model (which didn't have the mesh). Secondly, the trim along the top of the cup ... & band is smaller than the lace on the previous model, and therefore sits flatter and doesn't show under a thin/tight shirt.
The smooth molded cups are fairly projected, have a super soft, thin memory foam that doesn't add bulk, (but enough modesty to prevent headlights), and give a nice, smooth, rounded shape. The straps are fully adjustable and have plastic clips in the back to convert into a racerback.
My only complaint is the gore, which at 1 1/8", is pretty wide. Even though it lays flat OK, with my 1/4" close-set breasts it lacks the center projection I need and causes a bit of center quadding. So far, it doesn't seem to be uncomfortable, and it doesn't show through my shirt, even though I know it's far from ideal. I doubt it would be an issue for someone who has more spacing.
Of course, VS bras have a reputation of their bands and straps stretching out very quickly. So I'm hoping maybe they have made that improvement as well. Time will tell.
For reference, this VS Angel Demi has nearly identical shaped cups to the Panache Odette; the differences being this one has the front straps set slightly wider apart and the wings are taller. Also, the underwire is virtually the same length and shape as the Odette, which is surprising to me, coming from two completely different brands.
Addendum: For all the 60 plus bras I have tried (so far), this one fits the best, is most comfortable, and has become my go-to bra. I have purchased several of these in different colors. The only inconsistency I have found is the width of the gore. The variation is not between colorway, but by individual bras. So when I am at the store I intentionally compare the widths of the gore on every bra and find the narrowest one.
