The color in these photos came out a much more "true red" than this bra is. It's more of a brilliant raspberry red. It's truly a stunning color. It's extremely comfortable, even though this size very clearly doesn't have enough space in the cup for me. I've ordered a pile of bras in, what seems to be, the very wrong sizes, but hey, there aren't enough measurements at this size, so here we are. The straps are fairly close together, so that's nice for narrow shoulders. The shape is awkward on me, but that's to be expected with the amount of spillage in the cups. The band is very comfortable. If it came in a larger cup size than this, I'd be all over it. The only thing I think this would probably lack is enough immediate projection in the cup. I've been having trouble with that. The search continues.

Let me start off by saying this is clearly the incorrect size for me. The band is too tight and the cups are too small. They don't have the volume to support my tissue without causing them to fold over on themselves. I LOVE the style of this bra, though. I'm such a fan of the SF line of Ewa Michalak bras. I'm very used to Elomi bras, so the SF style is pretty close to that. I will say that the stretch fabric on the Ewa Michalak bras is an upgrade over the Elomi. It's so soft and doesn't seem like it will ... pill over time. I'm a little bummed that they don't come in a size I think will be quite large enough in the cup for me. I think I could make it work with a 100GG, but a 100H would be better. Unfortunately, I think I have to look into the FB style, which seems a bit less likely to have the colorways/cuts I want, but I guess we'll see. The wires on this don't dig into my armpits, so that's a bonus. The button embellishment on the gore is a cute detail, but the ones near the straps seem like they might show under a very tight shirt. Not sure I'd keep those there.

Has J-hooks. That's pretty cool for the narrow shoulder havers. High roots and narrow shoulders, get a buddy to help you adjust the straps because otherwise, it's gonna be a lot of taking it off and putting it back on. I can't praise this material enough. I'm trying SO HARD to find the right size in this bra. You'll see when I finish uploading all the data from all the sizes I ordered. Oh boy. It's so soft. The stretch fabric on the top of the cups is so cute. The double bagged band is insanely comfortable. But the wires are so damn high (on the edge and at the gore) & too wide for me. I have short/high roots. This is a shape mismatch. The cups also aren't deep enough for the amount of projection I have, but I want it to work so badly. I just wish the frame worked for me.
Edit: Turns out none of the sizes in this model work for me. Bummer.

Maybe I should just see if I can find this fabric on my own. I don't know. Anyway, it's a favorite for comfort. I just wish the frame worked for me.

This bra is a fit mismatch for me. The wires are too wide and come up too high for my shape. I have short/high narrow roots. It seems close, but because the wires are so high, the underwire keeps getting pushed below my IMF. The fabric is very pretty. I'm not sure how well the stretch lace at the top of the cup would wear, however. It seems similar to the stretch lace that the Elomi Kim Plunge Bra (4340) uses. That one has mediocre aging. They should just replace this lace with the stretch fabric from the Panache Serene, since it's the same parent company. The band on this is double bagged, so it's comfortable. The band feels a bit snug, however. That seems to happen with Panache/Sculptresse bands. I have a feeling the band would end up suffocating me as the day wore on.

I used to fit into the 32FF Marcie Balconnet Bra and I loved it. I wore it for years (since 2016) until the band was just too painful. (Which took me too long to admit.) Unfortunately, the cup size changes between the G and GG and since I need an H, this bra is no longer for me, HOWEVER, if you are a G cup or under, I HIGHLY recommend this bra if you have close set breasts and need a shorter gore, and like your wires not to be as long. I'll end up trying the H later, but with how high the cut came up on ... the GG, I just don't think this one is for me any longer. My 32FF has still held up though. It looks good as new, even washing it in a washing machine without a bra bag and on normal wash settings (but I always hang dry it). Straps are pretty wide set though, so if you have narrow shoulders, like me, you'll have to either get a clip, crank them down, or get used to them slipping. They have fully adjustable straps though!

First of all, this color is gorgeous. I would love the Elomi Kim in this color. Fabric doesn't feel as breathable as I'd like and the shape seems to push my breasts out to the sides, which is a really odd look for how close set my breasts are. It just looks very odd, and the gore is floating at the top since it's trying to wedge in where there's no space. Not a terrible fit. Does seem to chafe a bit around the sides and the band is too tight. It cuts lower than the 34GG does around the armpit area, which is nice. The cups are not wide enough for me though, and the bigger cup sizes have a higher cut around the armpit.

Not a terrible fit. Does seem to chafe a bit around the sides though. It cuts across my tail of spence though, which is not very comfortable. I think the cut is just a bit too high for me. Narrow shoulders probably contribute to this a lot. On that note though, the straps do fit pretty well.

If you're looking for a bra to get in a size slightly too small to give you the push up look, this might be the one for you. It's lightly padded/lined and hikes the girls right up. For me the bra cuts in too much across the chest for any of my needs. I just wear t-shirts, so the quad boob is real with this one, but this is wildly not in my size, however, the SO liked the look of it when I tried it on.
