I bought the 32J Panache Andorra Full Cup (5675) in Spice to enter its measurements into Bratabase. I'll be returning it to Nordstrom Rack if no one responds to my listing. As cranky as I get looking for bras in the 30F range for myself, I can only imagine the volcanic frustration of someone in this size range.

This color is rich and complex. It changes a lot depending on what time of day you're viewing it.

I ordered this bra because the measurements were supposedly more like a 36GG. I'd say they're more of a 36H. due to the cup depth. This bra suffers greatly from the cradle triangle effect, where the cups are wider than the band. This leads to wires very far back. The top of the cup can stretch to almost 10" despite the wires being 8" wide unstretched.

The wires are firm though, so despite quadboobing the center gore tacks very nicely. This is especially important because I have no space between my boobs, and yet this bra manages to separate anyway, and I don't get pain from it. Because of that I'm calling the quality "excellent" because too many bras suffer from wires that are too flimsy to hold any weight.

I usually suffer from being poked under the armpit because of my short torso, but these wires didn't seem to be a problem.

Also, without a bra I have low nipples, but this seemed to bring them right up and gave plenty of lift.

This bra is just kind of a temporary compromise for me, it's getting pretty clear that I will probably have to customize a bra from a company with the most narrow possible wires, like @EwaMichalak or @Comexim, for a overall perfect fit. However, that takes time and I needed something to wear right now. The wires on the panache @Andorra are definitely too wide and too tall for my short torso and small ribcage. I have zero sideboob, so most bra manufacturers are not catering to my body type.

The main annoyance I have with Andorra is that the fabric near the base of ... the straps in front comes up too high and chafes near my armpits. This is painful after a full day of wearing, so I prefer not to wear this bra more than 3-4 hours. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this issue until I had worn it awhile, and not when I was trying on. The actual wires and wing height are not jabbing at anything on the side. I have at least a good inch or two of empty space at the sides where the wires curve way too far on my sides. The very tall gore wire height is mostly okay as long as I'm standing and walking - but does start jabbing and chafing at the top if I'm bent over or sitting a lot. I definitely do not need this height of wire, since I have narrow roots, and shorter wires would be more comfortable.

On the plus side, the straps don't fall off my shoulders, although more inset straps might be preferable. The cup design is great for my shape, covers everything well and looks good under clothing, perky and uplifted. Nothing is being flattened down at all. Since there is almost a 3 cup difference between my two breasts, one cup is a little empty but acceptable, didn't need alterations. This kind of stretch lace cup is definitely the most flattering and best type of bra for me, I've been preferring this type for several years now. It's the only kind that's giving me the very high amount of depth I need for my very projected breasts. The fabric is a little rougher than I would like, but not as scratchy as I've ever tried. The lace is a little softer than on the Panache Envy. This is a very nice bra, it's just not sized right for my petite body. It might work better on someone tall with my bra size.

This is in a bright pink color . I love the color . Very comfortable bra but does stab me in the underarm and sternum . underwires down under my ribs but that is how my body is shaped it happens to many of my bras as my imf is only an inch or so above my last rib . It's annoying but not a deal breaker . I do fall out out of the top leading to major quading on my larger side if I am more active like house keeping or bending over etc. Leading to having to resetting my breast several times . Lace is soft and pretty . Vivid color . Fit is much better than my 32hh .

This bra was way too tight in the band; I had to really pull to get it closed, at which point it was way too uncomfortable, bordering on painful. I felt kind of "jiggly" on top and there was some wrinkling on the lower sides of each cup.

I have a feeling this bra would be perfect for me if they would just make it one cup size larger. As it is, the wires are too narrow. This makes the cup slide down, compromising support, comfort, and shape. It also leads to the side underwire poking me in the armpit.

I am tempted to keep an eye out for the 34J, just to see if the larger cup size alleviates this problem.

I was in too much of a hurry to really judge this bra before purchase. On a whim it seemed like it fit very well in the store, but after a few wears at home its obvious how poorly it actually fits. It's a better band size for me, but its just WAY too large in the cups. Stretchy lacy material make up the cups of this bra. It's designed to give great support to the breast by having interior side panels that push the side of the breast into the cup shape. The breast will make any soft breast appear firm and perky. It can give a ... very conical shape if you are bustier. The underwire cups for this bra are way too larger for my breats, although it feels like there is plenty of material to cover my breast, the cups are just too large and thusly i suffer by being poked by the underwires. The scalloped lace details along the under of the cup are more annoying, than pretty. they curl under the cup and curl away from my body.

Feels very supportive, gore comes up too high for my comfort.

See 30J for a full review.

The band on this bra is too big on me. I usually wear a 30 band, and a 32 if the band runs small. But Andorra has quite a stretchy band. Cup-wise the 32J does fit me much better than the 30J.
But I would really need a 30JJ in this bra, which sadly Panache does not make.
