Cleo by Panache Lucy Balconnet Bra vs Freya Fancies

Original review: I was very happy to find this bra for under $20 in my size. It's a very cute demi with no padding that provides really great support, good separation, and pretty cleavage. (The cups do not cover as much on me as they do on the model in the photo.) It also does a great job controlling the top of my breasts (i

I was nervous the seams might show through shirts but they don't. I feel supported but also free to move and not squashed like some bras do. It is mildly itchy, but not bad enough to stop wearing it, I think once its washed the lace will soften. The underwire has a soft cover that keeps the seam edges from poking you

This bra fit well enough with just a bit of quad-boobing (it would be better-suited for breasts with bottom fullness and I am more even in shape). Overall, the material is nice and it is well-constructed, but I dislike the seam placement (sits below the nipple line and is visible through any lightweight shirt). The shoulder straps are also a bit wide for me, even though I have always considered myself to have slightly broad shoulders. It might be a bit more comfortable if it had a full band; as you can see from the photographs, the underwire sits below the level of the band

I'm in love with the two bras I received today. The first one is a Freya Hero in 34F and the second is a Panache Jasmine in 34F. I have never had bras fit so well! I'm glad I went down to a 34 band as the 36 was okay, but I'm finding I like the snugger band and feel more supported.

I also really love the silhouette and shape that the Lucy gives. For starters it's very forward. A lot of times when you're fuller busted, bras tend t...

Additional info: I’m not sure of my shape (except the clearly wide roots), but plunge bras (I’ve tried Freya Fancies Plunge and Chantelle Festivite Lace Plunge) really don’t work for me—the cups seem simultaneously too large while cutting into the top of my breasts. If I get the cup large enough to fit everything in, there’s no support.

Now, the underwires on the side are still slightly wide for me. I really need a little bit further in. However, that's not necessarily a problem, prov...

This is a pretty bra that is also comfortable, a touch find for me as I am a small waist size and a G cup size. I can never find bras that don't look like straight jackets. I am in a weird stage right now where no size really fits me. This was better than most in my size with only a very small amount of overflow on only one side

It's a three-piece cup giving a nice baseball scene for a nice shapely look. It's also got very adjustable straps as well as a thin band around the ba...

I love this bra! I have several Freya molded deco cup bras and when I saw this bra I decided to try it. I did not expect this bra to be supportive due to the fact that it is just lace with no lining or molded cups, but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is this bra supportive and figure flattering, it is pretty to boot! I’m 34F so I need the support and even though this bra is just lace, it is very supportive. I’ve bought this bra in both black and white and I’m very happy with both
