This is my first almost perfect bra after finally finding my true size thanks to this community and /r/abrathatfits. It fits me perfectly in every way except for the gore diggin into my sternum. I can’t decide whether it’s uncomfortable enough to return it though, because everything else is so perfect! I have worn it all day and the gore digging is somewhat livable. The only other thing is that the shape of my breasts in this bra is good but not great. They are definitely a little torpedo-y. Still on the hunt for absolute perfection.

I love this bra! Not sure about the colour on me but the fit is great. For reference I am low set, I think even fullness and averagely to slightly projected. The Clara fits me pretty well so when I heard the Petra was similar I was intrigued - and I think I prefer the Petra! This might be partly because I own the Clara in 30F (it's a little bit too small) - but I do think the Petra's gore is much more comfortable - Clara was digging into my sternum and would leave angry red marks (angrier than the normal marks/indents I get). The gore on ... Petra is quite a bit shorter than the Clara equivalent so that explains the increased comfort levels. The light lining is very cosy, it feels a tiny bit thicker than my Cleo Mimi and Freya Patsy and is softer than these too as well. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the new black colourway for A/W17 and would love it if Panache brought out a pale pink version (more flattering than beige/cappuccino on my very pale skin tone). All in all very happy and comfortable https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

EDIT: Unfortunately the excitement above was short lived... I noticed the Petra was giving me a sad, droopy upside-down 7 profile; I'm inbetween sizes (30G too big, 30FF too small) and/or the bra is the wrong shape for my FOT boobs. Apparently it's good for FOB shapes. I still love the way the cut looks and the design in general, so I'll probably try the black colourway when it comes out in the misguided hope that it might magically work for me... but realistically I know it won't ;_;
