I love this colorway, and even though Panache's straps are always too wide for me, I look forward to buying it in a better fitting cupsize.

Bra is really pretty, but too big. It's both big in the band, and big in the cups. The center gore is too high, and covers too much of my chest. It's a lovely color, and it is very well made, just the wrong fit for me. I feel like the shape is droopy teardrop, and I need more boost. For those who like the more natural shape, it would probably work, but for me it just doesn't.

As opposed to most people, I actually like this bra; however, I may be a bit sentimental, since it was the first bra I bought that fit properly without needing major alterations since I sized out of normal US cup sizes at the age of 14.

I don't fill out the tops of the cups (I'm pretty even on fullness, but my boobs are low on my chest), but otherwise it fits me very well (this size fit me much better when I was 20 pounds heavier, and isn't my correct size anymore, but I still wear it anyway), and the fabric is thin--in fact it doesn't really gape, ... just sits flat with a single dart-like wrinkle, which doesn't show under clothing. The wires aren't uncomfortable for me at the sides; the gore is a little higher than ideal (but still isn't uncomfortable). The straps adjust well, they're firm yet comfortable. The band starts out very firm but loosens up after a couple months of wear (I have 4 of these, of varying ages).

Other people mention that it tends to send the girls east and west, but I honestly didn't notice until I read other people's comments on this bra--without a bra mine pretty much go east and west, so having them do so in a bra doesn't feel unnatural to me.

I must point out that although I don't normally machine wash bras, one of these found its way into the washing machine once, and (probably because they're huge) the wire on that one immediately came loose from the casing and started poking me in the chest, so I wouldn't recommend machine washing.

Overall, I just really wish this bra was cuter. When I bought my first one several years ago I was really happy to have something that fit properly, but I'm getting tired of this style.

This bra is advertised as a balconette, however it covers most of the breast and looks more like a full coverage bra to me...

The bra fits well and is made very well. I have had no issues with the feel of the fabric.

The 36 band fits me perfectly and provides great support. I have never had a bra with a gore that tacks (years of too-small cups and close-set breasts will do that), and this bra does it perfectly! This bra holds up even after long days of wear.

I believe the HH cup is too big for me, because I have wrinkling in the cups. However, if I had an H cup, I don't think I would have this problem. The cups give a nice, rounded shape and I love the lift that I get as well. Looks great under any clothes I wear!

I do find that the cups are a little too wide, but I have narrow roots so this is often a problem for me.

This bra almost fit and I'm tempted to keep it despite its flaws. This is one of the rare bras where the wires seem to rest in the proper position under my breasts; there's no wrinkling in the bottom and it feels like it wouldn't slide down my chest after a few hours. The band is very comfortable and the straps feel good.

From the front it looks good, everything seems to be in place. My larger breast shows a tiny bit of quad boob but you can't see it under a shirt; when I lean forward the cup is a bit too loose for my smaller breast. Overall, the lift is good, but things don't look so good from the side: the top of the cups flattens my breasts so there's an unattractive round-flat-round silhouette.

The main problem is the length of the underwires. They go up too high under my arms and it hurts terribly after just a few minutes of wear. It's a relief to take it off!

It ALMOST fits. It is so close, in fact, I wear it anyway, just not under shirts where the slight wrinkling will show. It would fit better if I was fuller on top, but because my breasts are bottom heavy, I tend to sink into the cups. It's a little too thin around the underwires, they start getting uncomfortable if I wear it all day, tho they don't dig from the get go. In all, it's an okay bra, but not my favorite.

The straps are a little too long for me, so I have to keep them on Maximum Shortness.

I also find the back band digs in a bit.
