Panache Ardour vs Panache Cari

This bra gave me a good sense of what a bra that fits actually feels like, even if the size isn't perfect. The band feels pretty snug and comfortable, and I was amazed by the amount of support a band that sits low on your back can provide. Later I found that the second hook is slightly tight but the support in this position is even better.

I don't understand why bra companies even bother with it considering its itchy don't they test this out before selling? Women don't want to wear itchy bras!!! Hahah. I'm hoping with wear and washing/drying it'll eventually become comfortable around the front bottom band. Otherwise it fits, it is great for tshirt bra and my boobs fit in it. Oh one more thing the hook that is on the straps to make the straps come together in the middle of the is above the other plastic part that shortens or lengthens the bra straps

I hate being able to feel my band shift around or feel it ride up. I much prefer a true 28 band. I think maybe if you were a 29 her bands would be perfect for you. But with my snug underbust being 27 her 65 is too loose for my preference

Molded cups are hard to fit, and tend to be tall. Fantasie Rebecca, Panache Cari, Freya Deco, and Wacoal Lace Finesse or Wacoal Basic Beauty might have more projection.

This bra gives shockingly awesome shaping for pendulous breasts. Mine are bottom heavy and uneven after years of breastfeeding but look great in this bra. The sweetheart neckline works well under all types of tops and the lace straps are a nice touch.

If it is just glued, the edges can curl like you describe. My size and measurements are very, very close to yours, and I personally wear bras from Fantasie and Panache pretty much exclusively, because they suit my shape.
