Much less bounce than the Panche sports bra. I may actually be able to run in this. The cup sizes run small, so order up one to two cup sizes.

Not as much support as I would like. Good for low-cut tops. Gives a nice smooth line with a round shape under shirts. Although I haven't tested it out yet, it seems like this will be a good hot weather bra. The lining seems like it will be breathable.

UPDATE: After playing around with the shoulder straps for 15 to 20 minutes, I got a better fit so that the band barely rides up. It's definitely smaller than the Panache Eliza band, but not as tight as I feel I like. It is pretty firm and not stretchy though. If I buy this again I would go up ... a cup size. Although I do not have quad boob, the top of the center gore is pushed out slightly. Still better than a 38D, so I will take it. There is virtually no arm pit spillage with this one. The boyfriend I think likes the shape from this one. I would say that as far as the band goes, Parfait is true to size, as I've pretty much been in between a 34 and 36 since age 10. I think the cups may run a bit large, which is good since they only go up to a G!

Update 2: In order to keep the band from riding up, I've loosened the shoulder straps all the way, to the point where they may slip throughout the day. Since the cup seems to be too small and the band too big, the wires get pushed down below the root of my breast. I feel like I am having some tissue re-migration and the wires may actually be too wide on this. I really want Parfait to work for me, but I just don't see it happening. However, I am going to have to figure out a T-shirt bra and/or a plunge style that will work for me. Summer is coming quick!

The band is tighter than on any other Panache bra I have but for the Azira. I like the fit, but I think it would be better in a 36 GG or 34 H for me. I don't like to wear this bra for more than 8 or 10 hours as it starts to feel restrictive and pokey, but it does give a nice shape under clothing. I wonder if sizing up would reduce the discomfort.

My go-to bra from 2011 to recently... If you can get yourself into a VS size, I like this bra for everyday wear. It's pretty comfy and the padding hides your nipples. It gives a generic, rounded shape. The demi-cup allows you to wear it with any but the most absolutely scandalous shirts and tops and if you're in a cup or 3 too small, very nice cleavage. The band is quite stretchy and 38s are quite too large on me now, so there is no support left (oh, I can feel my shoulders coming forward just thinking about it), I've out grown the cups. VS does make this bra in a 36 DD I think, but that's probably not going to work much better. It's time to move on from the sad US sizing.

This is my new favorite bra. It is the best shape yet I have found on me. The apex of the cup perfectly matches my natural shape. I will be looking for more bras of this type. Higher wings would be nice.

This almost fits. Only the center gore doesn't lie flat. Oh Parfait, why can't you go up to a GG? Good deal for shallow, top heavy girls. It works the best on me as a racer back. The straps are barely long enough, if you are ultra tall, this may not work. The straps are also wide, so if you are petite or narrow shouldered, I wouldn't recommend this one. I love the little cameo hanging from the center bow. It gives a saloon girl feel. My boobs' apex is more narrow than this bra, without the straps to pull up the top of the cup, my boobs ... want to fall down in the cup and naturally fall toward the more shallow center. Still light years better than the Panache Evie, so I think I can work it.

This is very comfortable to wear strapless for a short period of time, like 2 to 4 hours. After sitting in the office for awhile the weight of my breasts were pulling the cup down, leading to orange in a glass. It still looks great under clothing though, so I'm just thrilled I can manage a strapless bra for summer.

This bra looks terrible, terrible on me without the straps. The band seems to wrinkle from top to bottom and although the band doesn't seem to move, my breast tissue gets rearranged in the cups if I lift my arms. I feel like the cups are too deep and the wires are too wide at the bottom or the deepest part of the cup doesn't match where the apex of my boobs would fall naturally. Looking at the bra, the cups look much bigger than my breasts. I have arm pit spillage and terrible orange in a glass. I have no idea if I need to size up ... or down the cup or if I should go up a band. Typically I've been wearing a 34G (UK) in Panache, but I feel if I did a 34G in this bra, I'd still have orange in a glass and arm pit spillage and would then have quad boob. I'm wondering if Confetti would be a better fit for me. When I bought this I did an extensive/exhaustive online search and the Pananche Confetti was the only other strapless bra I could find in a 34/36 G-H. I'll be posting pictures and a fit request. I suspect the shape on this is all wrong for me. It looks better with the straps done as halter straps. I did not get clear straps with this, although I ordered it NWT off of Ebay and the packaging looked new and unopened.

Just got this. I have a very little bit of spillage under the arm on my larger breast, but the wires are perfect, and I'm not spilling out the top. I like the side cup support on this.

I freaking love this bra. I'm having less armpit spillage as I experience re-migration.

Good luck lacing this up properly on your own.

This band seems tighter than on my other Panache Sports bra. This is a little big in the cup on my smaller side, but overall more comfortable than the 34G at this point in time. I might try a 36 GG. Nice support for everyday activities and good sweat wicking ability. I would not recommend for high impact activities such as running or jump rope (ha!).
