Right now, I'm between a 32-34 band but this 34 was definitely too loose. I'd recommend choosing the smaller band size if you are between sizes. The cups are extremely closed on top, so not a good choice for upper fullness. I'm FOT and this gave me epic quadboob. I jumped around a little to simulate movement and it almost fell off.

The material is soft and there are small strips of silicone along the upper and lower elastic of the band. There are also mesh side slings in each cup which are not as soft as the rest of the bra.

Overall, I imagine this could work for someone with wider, shallower, and more full on bottom breasts.

I've used this bra for yard work and exercising with my dogs. It was reasonably good at reducing bounce and the height ensured that the girls didn't fall out.

Right now, I'm a firm 32HH/J in most bras and I've seen people recommend sizing down due to cups running large so I chose the 32H. The band is comfortably snug, but the cups are too small and not very forgiving of upper or inner fullness. Despite this, the bra is very comfortable and gave a rounded, slightly east-west shape. The quadboob on my larger breast doesn't show through most shirts. I might try a larger size when the size range is expanded in the fall.

I wouldn't recommend sizing down in the cups to anyone with FOT boobs.

The lower part of the cup is a very stiff unlined fabric without any give. The band is tighter than expected, even after sizing up due to other reviews. There are small button accents on the gore and each strap, which I prefer over the typical bows. The straps have a decorative design embroidered on them which makes them stiff and not as stretchy as I'm used to from Ewa. It has the four part cup construction that is very supportive. I think with time and an extender breaking in the band would make it more comfortable, but it is at least a cup size too small for me.

The band on this bra seems to run small compared to my earlier EM bras, which tended to run larger. I needed a full extender to even close the bra. The band isn't very stretchy at all. The cup fabric is so comfy, stretchy, and soft. The straps are less elastic than they used to be, possibly due to ordering a larger size. This is a three part cup with a stretch lace upper cup. The lower cup also has a fair amount of stretch to it, which is wonderful for my soft tissue. I wish that Ewa would swap the aesthetics of this bra style with the SF in the beige color. The BM is a much more girly bra with floral stretch lace, bows, and a pearl decoration on the gore.

The band is very firm, I'd say it runs a size small, like a tight 32 but I will probably need an extender until it is broken in. The top lace portion is stretchy and lined with a slightly less stretchy material. The lower cup is the same lace lined with a nonstretchy black mesh. The cup closes off at an angle that is much more suited to more even or full on bottom breasts.

It gives me a more pointed shape than round because my breasts get pushed up to almost quadboob. It's almost like the in-cup quadboob people get in Cleo Marcie and the sister cuts. ... If I was less full on top, the shape would be rounder. I've found the BM models with the single layer of shiny stretch fabric are better suited to my full on top (possibly tall rooted as well) shape.

The color and lace are gorgeous, an elegant forest green in subtle floral patterns. The fabrics don't itch or scratch, but my skin isn't very sensitive. The straps have shiny green ribbon sewn with a zigzag stitch for little ruffle details. The bows on the gore and straps are vivid magenta for contrast. I wanted a green bra like this for so long!

I have very projected and FOT boobs. Floris is too shallow and way too closed on top. I had 1-2 cups worth of quadboob on my larger breast. The fabric was comfortable and the band is a nicer fabric (not mesh), but stretchier than other panache bras.

Jasmine used to be my best fitting bra before my boobs decided to keep growing. The black ricamo colorway seems to be shallower than the older colorways. I know Panache starches the hell out of their bras, but since i want to return it, I can't wash it and see if that loosens it up a bit. The band is also stiffer than normal, but that could be because of the black dye.

I need a stretch lace upper section for my soft FOT boobs, but I still had a cup worth of quadboob on my larger breast. The stretch lace also seemed less generous than in past colorways (which could again be the starch and/or black dye). The side wings are also higher, so avoid if you have high set boobs.

The print is floral faux embroidery, which pops from the black background. Fabric is stiff and fairly unforgiving, but I would chalk that up to the starch.

Lottie is sturdy with lots of projection. The wires about average width, maybe a bit on the narrow side. The printed non-lace part of the upper cup is almost velvety. The upper section does close off sharply and has no stretch at all. I have an almost ridiculous amount of upper fullness, so I had about 2 cups worth of quadboob just from being squished out of the upper cup. The lower cup gives a lot of lift. The band is a very soft silky material, not like the scratchy powermesh they used in Cleo Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) and Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) . I didn't wear it long as I am returning it, so I can't say how it holds up or adjusts with time. The structure was similar to Cleo Millie Balconnet Bra (7231) .
