  Wires on Panache bras are notoriously wide,( and yes, these look too wide for you) and not very projected...the wrinkles on the side and bottom of your cup are signs of a lack of depth at the wire.

  To know if the band of any particular bra is too small, put the bra on backwards and upside down.

  Instead of focusing on bra size, focus on bra measurements. A 30G in one Panache style may fit will another will not. No 30G Panache bra may not fit but several 30G Curvy Kate styles may. Bra "sizes" will vary from brand to brand and style to style.

  Polish bras generally do have narrower wires and deeper, more projected cups.

  Your measurements are similar to mine. I'm about 1/4 cup smaller than you, I think. 65J Comexim plunge is just a bit too big for me. I would start with 65GG in Ewa Michalak or 65H in Gorsenia. Both have narrow deep cups. Gorsenia is much more affordable, btw. But again, check measurements of each particular bra.

  • I checked the individual measurements. Wire was supposed to be very narrow on this one, and it really is until I hook the band up. The cup was supposed to be deeper than in Sonia, so I thought it would not cause quadboob (correct). I'm wondering if the wrinkling on this is acceptable, or a sign of poor fit. I can get this bra to touch my IMF, which is a victory for me :-) Most bras just lack projection and fold 1-2 cm above the wire.

    Hmmm. Well, if wires have to distort for the band to clasp that will cause 2 problems:
    1. Wires will become too wide and
    2. Cups will lose depth.

    Some bras can't stand much band tension without distorting wires, but Panache bras typically have very stiff wires, so I am surprised.

    You could try using an extender to see if the cups don't wrinkle when the wires aren't distorted or try to sister up the band to a 32FF.

    When comparing bra measurements, for the greatest success, try to compare apples to apples: i e. Plunges to plunges, balconies to balconies, etc. A plunge will almost akways "measure" more shallow than a balcony due to wire length, width and gore height and cup height differences. I hope that makes sense 🙏

    If the wires are being pulled too tight, it’s possible that’s it’s artificially making the bra wider and shallower than it should be. That would cause the wrinkles. I find Panache wires hard and firm and the bands are usually tts or smaller...rarely big and stretchy. AGBras has very good information.

  • After wearing for a few hours the feeling of comfort is gone after the gore left a red mark on my chest. Cups too large? And I was happy to have a gore that finally tacked nicely :-(

  • Pokey gores are also a symptom of those hard wires. ..especially if the band is also too tight.

    Used an extender, the cups are now too big. If I purchase this bra again, will try 32F next. Thinking to try 65G-GG in Ewa Michalak or 65G-H in Gorsenia.
