Lovely garment, try first for best fit
Sizes can be a little different from one style to another, even within the same brand. So I'm not surprised the cups are just a tad too big for me. I wear a 32HH in panache bras, and 32H in most other brands. This bra in 32HH fits perfectly except for a little gaping at the top. It's not enough to go down a cup size, and it doesn't show under clothing. I love the lift it provides. The profile is lifted without being too conical. This bra doesn't give a minimized look, but it does support and feels comfortable all day. In fact, it's better with every wear. The band is snug, as with most panache styles I've tried. But you want the band snug. The materials used in the lower cup are sturdy, as is the construction. I would recommend handwashing this garment, because the lace at the top is a bit delicate. Washing by hand will help the bra last longer and keep it in better shape.

Extremely painful center underwire
Cups were very thin and not for the more demure or t-shirt wearer, but were well-constructed and had excellent seaming placement. Offered a supportive cup with a beautiful natural shape, and did not make my breasts artificially shaped (e.g. overly pushed up, cone-shaped or "implant-esque").
I am a G (US sizing) cup at 5'3", but purchased the F cup here as the cups are thin with no lining. The cups fit nicely and I would recommend going down a size if you purchase this unlined style from this maker.
However, I was forced to return as the center underwire dug painfully into my sternum after only a short time of wear (less than an hour) making deep red marks at the top of the underwire. Initially, the bra felt comfortable but turned out to be a poor choice.
The Panache "Lucy" balconette bra in the same size 38f did not have these problems, and offered the same unlined cup, with a bit different construction in the cup. It is not as supportive as the "Jasmine" style, but was much more comfortable.
I did like these styles as the cups offered more European shaping, and did not force my breasts into an overly pushed up shape. If you are larger-busted, do not have implants and do not *want* to look like you have implants, this is a good choice. Perhaps the underwire problem was a function of me being shorter and where the underwire tips pressed in as a result. Overall, a quality bra with that one exception for shorter women.

Great "Full on top" Bra
I am generally a 30F or FF in Freya, so I tried this bra in 32F, the smallest size Nordstrom offers on-line and perhaps in store as well.
The back was too large and loose therefore not supportive of the girls. The cup size was extremely generous…too generous such that there were wrinkles of fabric and gaping. I loved the stretchy lace on the top of the bra and the print fabric was a nice alternative to solid black and very smooth. The construction of the bra is sturdy and well made. The straps are a bit wide set so some narrow breasted women or narrow framed may not find this comfortable.
I loved the bra and wanted it to work so badly as a nice core balcony bra in my bra wardrobe. I love balcony styles because they support better than other styles for "full on top" ladies. Hopefully Nordstrom will offer the bra in 30 back sizes soon. I checked with the manufacturer and it is made in 30 back and large cups sizes!

perfect fit
this bra is perfect in every way. I don't know why I bother with other brands and styles when I know this one is great!
It gives great push up, despite no padding.
It is more pink in person than it shows in the picture.
I do wish the straps were a tiny bit longer but otherwise this bra is perfect!

hello perky boobs!
This is by far the best fitting bra I have. It fits much better than the andorra which is slightly too small (and unfortunately there is no bigger size than 30j. Plus the wires poked uncomfortably). This bra provides great support and is so comfortable!. I now have it in 4 colors, looking to get more! It's so hard to find a well fitting bra in my size, so now that I found one I'm sticking with this style.

Great Support
I was very hesitant when the Nordstrom's associate recommended this bra. As a 6D, I tend to stick to nude bras with significant coverage. This was animal print and had a lot of exposed cleavage . . . but I listened and tried it.
Love it! More lift and support than I imagined it could possibly have. And pretty even if I can't wear it under everything. It came home with me.
