With the cups being too wide and the straps pulling me flat on the sides, this isn't a great fit. Got a bit of apex wrinkling as well as quadding across the top. The 28E - Panache » Tango Ii Balconnet Bra (3251) is even wider and worse. Not a good fit at all for me. I think my center fullness is getting me here with the center quadding and the sides being flat. The underwires also want to flip out quite a bit more than most bras normally do.

EDIT: My initial review was incorrect as it was for another bra! Here's the correct review, followed by the old one.

NEW: I love this bra! It's a bit too tight in the band (I need to get an extender until it stretches a little) but it fits great in the cup. The foam is thinner than it looks or seems, but doesn't show much nip under clothing for me. I love how smooth it is, and how soft the cups are to the touch.

OLD: This bra would fit beautifully if there were more immediate projection. Everything else fits great, but the underwire is pushed down and the cup buckles under my IMF because it's too shallow. Otherwise, gorgeous bra.

The band is much less stiff than my 28E - Panache » Cari Moulded Spacer Bra (7961) so would be a much more comfortable fit if the cup were the right size/shape for me. This is probably one of the least stiff Panache bands I've worn.

The upper part of the cup is too large, and the sides are not friendly to my poor empty sided conical ladies (the usual pulled flat shape that commonly happens at this size). Otherwise, this bra is gorgeous and comfortable.

Edit February 2024) After properly trying this bra on again for the first time in a while, I've found that the pulling isn't as bad as it was before. It's still not the right shape for me (made for shorter roots) but it's not that bad. It runs small in the band for its size, and the band is rather firm.

This bra is ridiculous. The difference in cup depth and projection between the 28DD and 28E is atrocious. The cup is extremely shallow in the lower cup causing a lot of quadboobing. It's a totally different bra than the 28E: I would expect some small changes, but the cup heights are also drastically different. The wires are appropriately narrow, but I can't do anything with the cups being so shallow and tiny. I know black color ways tend to be tighter, but I don't think that's the issue here: I think it's just poorly scaled at the lower cup sizes. Very frustrating.

This bra was a bit too projected for me in the 28E, so I think I'll try it in the 28DD. Wires run narrower than other Freyas I've reviewed, so it's closer to fitting than others. It's very pretty and soft as well.

I was able to fill the bottom and apex of this bra well, but the stretch lace on the top was too closed for it to fit me properly.

This bra runs smaller in the band than I anticipated. On the outermost hooks it felt fine against my ribs, but the gore told a different story. I added an extender, but that still wasn't quite enough. It took a gentle bend of the gore to totally stop the poking, but now it's basically perfect. I've never had a bra actually sit in my outer IMF, so this is lovely.

Edit Feb 2024)
After having this bra for a little while, the band has stretched enough so that I can wear it on the tightest extender hook now. I've also lost a bit of weight and my ribcage is a little smaller from that, so that helps. I notice that this bra can migrate down out of my IMF during the day, and it buckles a bit when it does sit in my IMF. I think it's not quite projected enough at the wire, but this doesn't effect my comfort during the day so I'm not too worried about it. Still very comfortable and pretty.

Very plain bra, but smooth under shirts. The lip at the edge of the cup flips out ever so slightly, so sometimes an edge is visible if my boobs are smaller than average due to fluctuations. The adjustable back to racerback is a bit fiddly to do and undo, but it's very secure when it's clasped properly. Thought for a long time this was too big, turns out I wasn't wearing it tight enough and wasn't scooping. Fits comfortably even though the wire is too wide.

After loving the other Simone I got recently, I decided to try another one on. Luckily, I was able to find one on a really good sale. While the band is too large, I don't mind too much: once it stretches out, I'll just alter it so it's tighter again.

The lace is really comfortable, much softer than the bougainvillea color of the other SP. I like the lace detailing on the straps and the little bows at the shoulders. Overall, this bra is comfy from the store, so I expect it to quickly become a bit too large. Still love it, and couldn't beat the price.
